The trolling motor was remote controlled so he was able to allow us to fish out of the front or the back without someone in the way. We never touched the live shrimp.

I hate fishing and had the time of my life! He kept in contact with other captains throughout the day so we always knew where the best fishing was. Very polite and such a people person. I can't wait to go back next summer! (Doesn't hurt the fish is amazing that you get to take home...and organic!)

We were only asked to pay for food and lodging that time. Oh- They also filet your catch for you at the end of your tour. The food they serve is amazing and the service is wonderful If you are an angler of any caliber this is right up your alley.
