    Mr. Daryl is the first charter I've ever taken, and I would not hesitate to book him again.

Not a single one had to be thrown back. Can't wait to do this again.

    Had a great day with Seth despite the weather. I was only in town for 1 day and could not reschedule so we decided to go out and make the best of it. We caught a nice 22" redfish on first cast and after a few hours work we had another 22" and a fat 27" redfish in the boat. Seth stayed positive the whole day as we tried different spots and techniques. Will definitely fish with him again, hopefully in better weather.
