Jacob Nelson

“Dave and Brandon were great. This was the first time taking our 6 year old out and they were sure to make it the best for him. Brandon was patient and did an amazing job explaining how to pull the fish in and handing the twisted line (we did) without complaining once. Dave was friendly and extremely hospitable and help us plan the right trip to fit us. We were on the fish all day. I will be returning and will be booking with them again. Thanks again Dave and Brandon for a great trip.”
