Captain Jimmy was a great time!!! We went the week after hurricane Ian hit the west coast and I went with no expectations to catch a fish but instead to enjoy the ride and conversation. We had 5 people on our boat and everyone caught a kingfish . The crew was very kind and were very willing to answer questions about the area and give suggestions on places to go ! They cleaned our catch wonderfully! I would definitely recommend this guide service !! What a great time!
