Amy Miller ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My son and I booked Captain Mike on a last-minute request when our other guide canceled our trip. Mike was communicative, prompt, and friendly. We had a great time on the water and he put us on fish right away. It was a tough day for fishing and we were able to put ‘em in the boat for most of the day. We had more than 20 on the boat before noon. We would recommend Captain Mike, we had a blast.”
