Went out with Sharkmen fishing charters, he would have to be the best in the business. We were promised our bag limit in 1/2 an hour and he was on the money, all 6 on board had there 2 fish. We continued to trawl lures for another 2 hours and ended up catching and releasing a total of 24 fish.
His deck hand Ivan was informative and helpful.
Thanks for a top day guys! |

Great day out on the water. Steve from Bagout Fishing Charters did an excellent job finding the fish. It was rough weather and three of the boys got sick but all in all a great trip. HOT TIP: Bring wet weather gear (even if it's a nice day). |
