We were even lucky enough to spot an alligator out in the ocean and a lone dolphin swimming by! Fishing started off slow, with several missed spots, but eventually, all three kids caught two fish each — including a bonnethead shark! It was an unforgettable experience, and Jason went above and beyond to make sure we had fun every step of the way.”

The guide did nothing my husband asked. Did not catch anything (which we knew could happen) however, the guide did spend the entire time fishing himself, while my husband spent his day in the middle of the boat trying to fish around the giant console.”
