Day on the water was terrific. Cpt Mike is a pro and being a dad himself was great with my son. Will def be back for more bass!

Peacock bass and he delivered!
I want to thank Mike Goshon. We booked him looking for Peacock bass and he delivered!! We took a 3 man trip (2 of us are saltwater guides from another area). We know what a good charter trip looks like! Can't speak highly enough of the product he delivered! He was meticulous in his explanation…
