Captain Kevin did an awesome job getting us on the fish. He took time to explain how and why things worked (or didn't) and coached you into getting it down pat so you got the whole experience. As experience fishermen from a different area it was great. We didn't want a whole hand-holding, spoon-fed, here's a rod with bait good luck catching something with the other 20 folks on the boat and maybe we will get around to helping you at some point charter. We wanted to be involved, not just sit and watch and he was fabulous at it! Plenty of yellow tail to take home, saw a lovely sea turtle, and he even got us a last minute request at permit fishing in! Back at the dock he whipped out the cleaning tools for the fish and I got to help fillet our catch for the day. Thank you for a memorable time Captain Kevin!

My greatest passion has always been sharks. I searched for someone who could take me on a shark expedition of any sort. After extensive searching, I found Kevin. I called him, and he explained the various options he could provide for a customized shark trip. I booked the trip, and I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations. We caught numerous sharks, and I was able to keep all the hooks as mementos of my adventure. Kevin remained very composed, even when some of the sharks put up a strong fight. I captured some fantastic videos and photos, getting up close and personal with these apex predators. Thank you, Kevin! I look forward to returning and booking another trip.

Captain Kevin was amazingly patient and a superb instructor. We took our 9 and 8 year old out with the hopes of catching a fish considering the conditions were not favorable. He even changed our time slot in hopes of better conditions. Having been in education for almost a decade, I can honestly say he was more patient and able to relay what they needed to do better than most of the coworkers I had. When they (and me) didn’t do something right he simply reiterated the process, never ever losing his composure. They caught so many fish and were so excited throughout the entire process. My son wore his wide brimmed hat, I’m only guessing this wouldn’t work well with the process but at one point I looked over and Captain Kevin had given his ballcap to him and carried on like it was nothing. So many little instances that I could mention If you have young ones and want to take them on an exciting and highly educational fishing experience, Captain Kevin is your guy.

Kevin was an AWESOME Captain and we caught a LOT of beautiful fish. We recommend him highly and encourage all you fisherman wannabes to hire him! Lee & Penny

Florida Keys Reel Adventures has been our go to Charter fishing company for 4 years now. When you are out with the best.. no need to search anyone else even though I looked. Nothing like being out with Kevin Johnsen, the owner and Captain. He knows where the fish are and puts you right on them. He does not stop there.. he takes care of baiting the hooks with the correct bait to make sure you get hit after hit on you line. He helps you better your fishing technique with his expert experience. Once you land your catch, he helps capture the moment with pictures to share with everyone when you get home. At the dock he then prepares your fish to take home for the freshest fish lunch or dinner you ever tasted!

Recently my son came to visit and we didn't know what to do. He is interested in fishing so we booked a trip with Kevin. The weather was kind of cold and windy but we caught a ton of fish. The boat was very comfortable. It was a better experience than we expected. It was a great option for a last minute trip.

Incredible half day with Captain Kevin! A wide variety of tasty fish and a few we could not keep. Clean, well equipped boat and versatile Captain who knows his stuff! And never a bone in a fish he filets! Tight lines!

I booked a list minute trip with Kevin for my daughter. We had a great time catching a variety of fish. So many we had to take breaks! It was surprisingly a short ride from where we met him. He knew everywhere to go and communicated what was going to happen at each spot. It was an experience that exceeded our expectations. He cleaned our catch too! I would recommend his service to everyone. His boat is really nice and has a bathroom!

I went out with Kevin Jensen on Dec 29th, and had the time of my life! Kev is exceptional, what really sets him apart is his preperation and attention to detail. He really sets you up for success while sharing his lifetimes worth of experience. I couldnt be happier with the trip. We maxed out on fish, with plenty of great photo oppritunities. That night the family and I feasted like kings. If you get the oppritunity to go out with Kevin, dont miss it!!

Capt. Kevin was so fun on our charter fishing trip. We had 6 people with all levels of experience and he handled us so well. Caught 10 different species of fish 🐟 and even a nurse shark!! Great experience and would go it again!! Thanks for a wonderful day and the best memories 😊

Every time we get lucky enough to get on the water with Captain Kevin, we make some awesome family memories. Yellow Jack and lane snapper on the menu for us this weekend. Can’t recommend Florida Keys Reel Adventures enough, for an unforgettable trip! It is so, so special for us. Thank you so much! Beautiful water, comfortable ride, 4 year old comfortably slept the whole time while my 7 year old caught the biggest of our fish. Kevin is the best with kids. Book him!

A last minute booking with Kevin turned out to be the right choice! Action start to finish, very knowledgable and friendly! He even managed to convince my wife to have a go and catch her first fish. A great experience and a great price! Would defiantly recommend👍🏻

Capt. Kevin is what I would call a master of his craft, he knows exactly where to be in order to put people onto fish. When he is in his boat he is all business, quick and efficient. No matter the conditions you will definitely learn how to catch fish and have a fun time while doing so. He is also very knowledgeable about all the marine life in the Keys (as well as the seabirds), so you will learn about that too. Thanks again Kevin!

I am a long-time customer of Kevin's. We've fished on his old boat, his new boat, my old boat, and my new boat for the last 15 years or so. We've done deep reef, offshore, wreck, patch reef, bay, snorkeling, and lobstering together. I know him well. I went yellowtailing with Kevin in October and was reminded why I keep going back. Let me tell you why: -His boat is well maintained and clean -His equipment works -He doesn't cheap out on bait, chum, sand, oats, jigs, hooks, etc. -He works his tail off--i can't emphasize this enough. -I learn something every time -We catch fish--a two man limit of flag snappers in an hour and a half on this latest trip I have fished a lot in my life, and I've fished in Marathon a lot. While you can get charters cheaper, you're not going to get a better-prepared, more professional captain who truly wants to help you and your group accomplish what you want to accomplish than with Kevin. If you're looking for a budget trip, with a captain who is better at telling jokes and showing you a good time but not producing, go elsewhere. If you are trying to fill a cooler with fish and really be a part of the action, go with Kevin. He will adjust to you if you need help and are new. He will push you if you are already experienced. You will get the trip YOU want if you communicate clearly and openly with him (a must). I disagree with those who characterize him as unfriendly or not talkative. He's a professional and doesn't make a lot of small talk unless you want to--he's focused on your trip, not his story. So ask him how he's doing if you want to talk. He has an interesting background, great passion, and is a true professional you can learn a lot from if you ask.

My husband and I went out with Kevin for a little fishing trip on our honeymoon, he made the trip so fun and inviting! Kevin was absolutely wonderful at showing us the different techniques - he was very intuitive and made it easy to learn. We caught many fish. Kevin was great company! Such a great experience! 😊

Had an incredible time on a Capt. Kevin's charter last Saturday. Kevin was great, worked nonstop baiting, and teaching a couple of novice fisherman. If you want to fish with someone who is extremely experienced, knows what he's doing and keeps your lines baited and in the water, Kevin is the man. PS we were the one's that caught the seagull on the line (he was safely freed by Kevin).

We always have a great time on the water with Captain Kevin! He’s very informative, helpful and just fun to be around. We always come home with some lobster or fish when we go out with him!

Honest review: Kevin is not the most talkative and he runs a tight ship, but this man worked so hard non stop to make our fishing trip a success! He was always doing something to get more fish to the boat and into our hooks. We caught a lot of fish thanks to the amazing efforts of Kevin. Also we were first time fishers and were a bit intimidated at first but Kevin explained well what we had to do and kept helping us until we got it. Can certainly recommend and if we ever come back to the keys we will be sure to go fishing with Kevin again.

My dad, sister, and I all went fishing with Captain Kevin during our vacation in Marathon Key. He was very knowledgeable and it was clear how much experience he had in the area. We caught lots of yellowtail snapper and it tasted incredible. Although he seemed quiet at first, he eventually opened up. I thoroughly enjoyed our trip and recommend booking him! He is worth the money.

Kevin is a great fishing guide. He will get fish in the boat. He will bait your hook, take the fish off the hook, and teach you how to fish his method that works. It was a lot of fun to actually fish for fish and not just snag them. His equipment is really good for a fishing guide. I have been on guided tour where I should have brought my own. He has top notch equipment that works very well. Overall he is a guy that loves fishing and will share his knowledge with you. Do what he says and you will catch fish.

Went out on 4 different adventures with Kevin so far and looking forward to more in the future. I highly recommend choosing Reel Adventures, caught a ton of fish, and Kevin seemed to know some really awesome spots, both for catching fish AND if you happen to experience a bit of motion sickness, he found some really calm spots that put me at ease.

Kevin is amazing over and over again, I’ve never caught so many fish! Not only did we catch fish but he educated us to a completely different level. I’ve been on many charters have not experienced something like this . Love you coach!

Capt Kevin gave us a great day on the water for our group of five. Capt Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about fishing the Keys. Come open and willing to listen to his instructions and not only will you catch a lot of fish, you will learn how to fish and have a great time! We were reeling in the yellowtail snapper immediately upon set up and also snagged a massive king mackerel. Pulled in yellow tail snapper, mackerels, groupers and even a few sharks. Such a great day fishing with Capt Kevin and what a start to 2025! We will definitely book another trip with Capt Kevin and will be recommending him to any of our guests! Thank you Kevin for such a great day on the water!

This was our second booking with him and will be returning next year. He works his butt off to make sure your excursion one you will remember and want to book another. Thank you again Capt. Kevin!

4 of us went fishing for 4 hours Friday May 24. Captain Kevin was absolutely super. He worked SO hard to make sure we had a great experience. Did. Not. Stop. We caught 20 gorgeous yellowtail snappers. While he was fileting the fish, he taught our son how to filet as well. Very useful skill as our son is a marine biologist! Highly recommend. Kevins very patient and succinct in his guidance. Clean boat and knowledgeable. Book him!

Went out last Saturday for a morning of fishing. Kevin is a great guy and fisherman. Very knowledgeable and willing to teach the intricacies of yellow tail fishing. We limited out in no time and he taught me how to properly clean and care for the fish. It makes a huge difference in the flavor of the fish and keeps them firm. His wonderful boat is versatile enough for offshore and reef fishing. Well worth the cost as he will put you on fish and you will have a great experience. Thanks Kevin and keep up your awesome work

Captain Kevin was 11/10 today! Such a fabulous experience for my family (especially because we were very new to the whole fishing thing! ) His boat was clean and music jammin! He had very clear instructions and patience with our very not experienced selves!) My girls caught tons of snapper and had a blast! By the end of our trip they were really getting the hang of things! My husband even caught a Nurse shark! I thought that this was the coolest thing but Kevin said he was just a practice shark for the real thing! Just like in a movie, my husband then hooked a HUGE Lemon shark! Very strong and fast on the line and my husband did great with Kevin's coaching! Lucky duck! I have the coolest video of this whole experience! It wasamazing to see the shark up close and personal! Thanks a million for such an amazing experience!

We had a great day of fishing with Captain Kevin. After a day of heavy thunderstorms, we were not sure what to expect. First off, the boat is exceptionally clean. At the first spot, we caught a few yellow tail. Kevin made the call to move and we really got into the yellows. We also caught a nice Cubera, a decent Mutton, and broke a few off. At the end of the day we had 28 nice yellow tail, along with the other snappers mentioned above. Thanks for great trip!

Just finished 3 days in 3 different settings, and took my wife a couple years back, so I am a return client. Kevin was referred to me by another local guide, who I have also been fishing with. Kevin is a very knowledgeable captain who has excellent attention to detail, and a very firm understanding of multiple fisheries in the area. The boat is great, smooth, quiet, safe, and very well thought out on rigging. Captain Kevin himself is very safe, on time, reliable, hardworking and does not waste time on your trip. He’s fit, can change set ups efficiently, and really has a good system down. In response to some of the negative reviews, all I will say is that if you have any degree social IQ and awareness, and any experience managing complex processes with the general public, you will totally understand this guy! There are so many ways it can go wrong, and just let this captain coach and guide you to avoid the myriad of complications that can arise, and you will be a better sportsman from learning from him. I know I have. He was awesome with my wife, and like any good coach should, he won’t watch you continue to make mistakes and not tell you, THAT is a disservice to someone who wants to be better at whatever they are doing… If you want to catch fish safely and efficiently, I highly recommend.

My son and I had a blast with Captain Kevin! Capt was so attentive to my 5.5 year old my son who had the time of his life, who must have asked me at least a dozen times the last few days, when are we going back out. My son asked to catch 40 fish and Capt delivered, with 9 nice keepers for enough fish tacos for days. His boat is gorgeous and feels like you are gliding on the water as it handles waves with no regard. Capt made the trip very enjoyable, on top of my son's request for music by AC/DC, and made lasting memories for this father and son! If you are ever in the area and want to do some fishing I recommend checking out Capt Kevin or if not in the area and feel like driving down, it is worth the trip! We will be back! Thanks Capt!

What an epic day with Captain Kevin on the ocean off Marathon! We did a scramble, moving to five or six spots and using different techniques at each stop. Kevin kept us on the fish and we filled the table with an amazing variety! This trip was a Christmas gift from my bride and it is now a treasured memory! Kevin is always busy but if you want a fun day of fishing book him the next time you visit Marathon!

If you came down to the Keys to catch fish, then this is the charter for you. Captain Kevin is a extremely proficient at his art, and you will go home with some of the most delicious fish you’ve ever tasted. One thing to note: listen to everything he tells you to do. There’s a strict formula you need to follow if you want to catch fish as cutting corners will just be frustrating for everyone, haha. My Dad and I did two half days and had a blast. Kevin played some great music and was very attentive every bit along the way. I can’t wait to come back next year and do it all again!

Captain Kev is AMAZING. After a lot of thought we decided to go private, it was the best decision and experience we have ever had . Kevin gave my husband the socks off his own feet so his snorkel fins would fit , literally. How awesome is that ? We experienced fishing , snorkeling the reefs, we held starfish, conches, saw manta rays , dolphins , barracudas , gigantic eels. As business owners ourselves , we appreciate how much he prides his work , boat, customers, we also loved the fact he does not like snotty children on his boat , or anyone for that matter , bc we loathe being around germs as well, who wants to get sick ?! If you want the ultimate experience, see Kev! My son looks up to him now as well. Thank you Kevin , we already plan on seeing you next year ! Happy Holidays !

Great Trip! Kevin is top notch. I am an avid fisherman and have some general experience; Kevin quickly gauged my abilities and crafted a challenging and rewarding trip. He put me on a lot of fish and at the end of the day left me with some great pictures and dinner for the week. His boat is super clean and the perfect rig for multiple fisherman to move about in comfort. Fully stocked cooler with refreshments and ability to catch some shade under the tower. I highly recommend booking with Kevin and I’ll be on his boat again as soon as I can!

Kevin is exactly the Captain you want for any charter. He was fantastic and has an excellent boat. It was our first time lobstering and he taught us how to do it. Great communication, knowledge, and preparation were very important for success. If you are ready for it Captain Kevin has the experience and tools to put you on them and give you the chances to bring up many LOBSTER! I'm glad I practiced based on his required expectations, researched the materials he suggested ahead of time, and learned his techniques out there--they really made a difference. Even with my experience freediving it was a bit challenging but also a lot of fun and anyone that can swim down 12ft can do it--although my average-shape 56 year-old father was winded rather quickly. Overall highly recommended! 👍👍👍This trip met all my expectations and more. It was a privilege to do that as no one else offers it at all, especially not for his prices! However for lobstering specifically I'd advise to come prepared or don't come at all. I set my expectations to have one chance and maybe catch one and we ended up catching our limit by listening and Kevin going above and beyond. Thanks and hope to see you next year!

If you are looking for an experience focused on catching fish, Reel Adventures is perfect for you. Captain Kevin is purely dedicated to providing opportunities to catch fish and shows you how to do it. We went reef and wreck fishing in June. This was our 2nd fishing trip with him and we hope to do it again in the future. He is all business and knows where the fish are and tells you on his website what you need to do to prepare for the the trip. On our trip, another boat snatched up his spot for yellow snapper, and he adapted and found a new spot where we caught many yellow tail. It rained on and off throughout the trip but he had rain coats available for us and we had fun with it. As an added bonus, we saw multiple rainbows. We caught a mutton snapper and multiple almaco jacks. We shipped our catch back home through Brutus Seafood Market and now have a bunch of fish in the freezer.

This was this HIGHLIGHT of our week long trip to the Keys. Captain Kevin puts in the work before, during and after the trip!! His website is so detailed and makes preparing for this trip a BREEZE!! Make sure that you read the trip tips and latest info (updated monthly) to prepare! His boat is extremely clean and he does everything possible to make your trip successful. This was our first time ever doing any ocean fishing, but we chose to do the offshore charter — this is not for the faint of heart!! You will learn so much from Captain Kevin while he works right along side you! He had so much patience with us! Despite being new to this, we ended up with 12 total fish because of his guidance and expertise. He even made us some sushi while filleting our fish! We will absolutely do this again, but only with Captain Kevin. If you are on the fence, DO IT!!! You will not regret this experience or choosing Kevin as your captain!

Had a phenomenal experience with Captain Kevin! If you are looking for an experienced, knowledgeable captain who can teach you how to catch a lot of fish Kevin is your man! He navigated some very difficult waters when most other captains canceled their trips. We had a haul of 40 fish in 4 hours! Any negative reviews are people who didn’t follow his tips and instructions. Trust me, he is an outstanding captain. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

Captain Kevin took us out cruising around the Marathon area (it's what we asked for). We got a fabulous day, Kevin preps you for the day, make sure you have sunscreen, sun shirts etc. Kevin took us to a bay where we floated and enjoyed conversations and beverages, then Kevin asked if we would be interested in seeing Sharks? Umm, ya that'll be cool, we crusied about 20miles, he set out chum, we started seeing Sharks, Kevin asked if we wanted to try catch one, hey why not. The Ladies on the boat got to reel a lemon and a nurse shark so cool both got released .

We had so much fun on this family outing (6 adults)! Kevin was amazing. Gave clear directions the day before of where we should meet, what to bring, etc. We caught 27 fish and a 5 ft shark we put back. Kevin made sure everyone was comfortable. He was great ensuring everyone got the photo op with their fish. We did cook what you catch 2 nights and enjoyed left overs - totaling 22 meals. Exceptional time with Captain Kevin!

Best experience with a charter we have had to date in all our travels. Captain Kevin Johnsen set us up for success! From the first cast (resulted in our first keeper of many) to days end, truly a Captain above the rest. He kept a close eye on any and all details, has an extremely clean boat. I learned so much in a half day of fishing. Like don’t rinse salt water fish with tap water, and more. He filets the fish on ice to keep it cold. Details, the difference is always the details. If you and your family are looking for adventure in da Keys, 100% check out Florida Keys Reel Adventures.

Such an amazing fishing adventure with Captain Kevin! Planned a quick day trip and Kevin was so accommodating for us. Even though we were a little windy and rough, Capt Kevin found a place for us to catch our limits on yellowtail and mangrove snapper, and little snorkeling. Add a bonus 300lb bull shark for the wife to spend an hour reeling in made it a trip of a lifetime. Thanks Kevin!! We'll be seeing you again soon!!

My son and I just had a offshore trip with Captain Kevin johnson October 20 2021 first time offshore for the both of us . Very rough seas but Captain put us on dream fish one away from limit out. It was work but this guy is knows his stuff. Highly recommended in my book

Great time in ruff conditions! Capt Kevin delivered and was great! Wife got a big Cobia to finish off the day with a screaming reel. Many fish lost to the visas and sharks. All around great day with great people. Thank You Capt. Kevin

Capt. Kevin did a great job getting us on the fish and bringing them in. Told us what to do, showed us what to do, stayed patient while we gradually learned what to do. Our catch made for a delicious dinner, too!

Booked with Captain Kevin for a future trip! Not sure what the fishing is going to be like (will post review tomorrow) however, communication from the beginning of my search has been awesome. Captain Kevin is clearly dedicated to tailoring the trips to his customers wishes and abilities so they have the best experience! Looking forward to our trip Captain Kevin.

Kevin knows how to catch some fish! We had a group with three kids and they were pulling them up left and right. Everyone had a ball and we have fresh fish for the whole week. GREAT way to kick off our Marathon vacation!

Kevin is so knowledgeable about the area. My friends and I have chartered with him twice, both times we caught a bunch of fish! The boat is awesome, lots of room & you can’t beat the Beautiful Blue Waters of the Keys! Can wait for Captain Kevin and Florida Keys Reel Adventures to show us another amazing Adventure!! 5 star!

We had an Awesome time with Capt. Kevin! If you want to experience fishing first hand for yourself, charter with Florida Keys Reel Adventures, you will not be disappointed. Capt. Kevin was professional, top-notch, come ready to learn, work, and be a part of the crew! Most fun we have had in the Keys! Capt. Kevin put us on the fish we requested to catch. For families, Capt. Kevin is a safe and conscientious with boating safety, we were very comfortable on our trip!!

Better than 5 Stars ⭐️!! We’ve lived in the Keys for 12 years and Captain Kevin showed us an AMAZING snorkel spot we never knew existed! He’s incredibly knowledgeable about our waters & has the best spots to take his customers whether fishing or just wanting to chill. We also did a Sunset Cruise with him which I highly recommend! Fun & Professional!

Kevin is such an amazing captain. We had the time of our lives fishing, snorkeling, and cruising. He'll teach newbies and can push experienced anglers for some real challenges. Book with Kevin if you want an all around fun, memorable trip, and you'll bring home a great haul for dinner!

Capt. Kevin took me out to the reef for a little fishing and it was a BLAST! We saw so many colorful fish and even a shark. Catching the fish was the most fun though. It took no time at all to catch our limit. After we caught all the fish we went for a little snorkel at the reef and learned more about the Florida keys ecosystem. It was an amazing day!

Captain Kevin has taken me out in the past on numerous occasions. From fishing to hanging at the sandbar. Always a REEL great time. Captain Kevin is a extremely competent boat Captain and his equipment and vessel are ship shape. His ability to put you on the fish and make you feel part of the crew was the best part. I’ve become a better angler on my own after taking a charter with FLKRA. Highly recommend FLKRA and Capt. Kevin.

Capt Kevin again this year for my birthday. I was worried I wasn't going to have a real birthday this year because of the virus. I chartered him a few years ago for a mermaid photo shoot and wanted something similar. He took us out to a beautiful island and we had the most perfect day. He has a very nice bigger boat that had room for all of our stuff. Even a fresh water shower and a bathroom. His last boat didn't have that. He was a great captain and made sure everything was taken care of so we could relax. If you are into the mermaid thing, this was a really fun way to celebrate my birthday. Capt Kevin worked so hard to make my trip awesome again! I'm bringing a bigger group next year!!

Thanks to Captain Kevin we will have some great memories of our vacation in Marathon. His boat is immaculate. He does everything to make the experience enjoyable and successful---a true professional. He describes the experience and his expectations perfectly so be sure to read the Trip Tips and everything on his website before you book.

My wife and I had a great day with Kevin out on the water. It was a windy week but he put us in one of his many snapper holes and we reeled in enough so that we could be picky with our keepers. Didn’t have to lift a finger the whole trip which makes it even more enjoyable. Kevin has a wealth of knowledge and if you listen and follow his lead you’ll come back with a cooler full. Top notch, we’ll be going out again real soon.

Here is five stars for the awesome trip, truly an amazing experience

What an absolutely amazing day! Arrived to the marina early and Captain Kevin was there readying the boat for our half day trip. He asked us and we let him know what we were hoping for (some fish to eat and some other fun things) once we found the perfect spot Captain Kevin showed us exactly what he wanted us to do so we could flawlessly catch as many yellowtail as allowed. In a matter of minutes we were pulling in fish as fast as he could bait our hooks and get them out there. After we had enough yellow tail and also a 180lb shark, we moved on to catching some barracuda because it was on my bucket list. Well, he certainly didn’t disappoint. Look no further than Reel Adventures for any type of trip. Next time we come back we’re going to utilize Captain Kevin for a tuna trip and try our hand at lobstering! Thanks so much for an amazing half day trip!

Captain Kevin is knowledgeable, very experienced and professional. He can deliver on any style of keys fishing that you prefer. Snapper, Grouper, Mahi, Shark ... the options are endless... in shore or ocean. He has a great boat, excellent electronics and plenty of high quality equipment. You can’t go wrong.

Capt. Kevin put us on the fish within five minutes of bating the hook, we caught several huge Goliath groupers and multiple species of sharks. Hooked a verity of bait fish. The fishing was non stop. The boat is large, fast and comfortable, with plenty of room to walk around while reeling in the big sharks and groupers, it’s clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back the fishing trip of a life time. Thanks Kevin for the bent fishing hook souvenirs.

Kevin is an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. He will go the extra mile to make sure everything is set up perfect to maximize the amount of fish you catch. I highly recommend if you want to do some real fishing and catch some amazing fish!

Fantastic day on the water with Captain Kevin hooking us up with a lot of different species. This Captain knows his boat- knows it's gear & knows his fish. He is glad to teach you about how to get the fish on and why they bite where they do. A no-nonsense guy who knows his boat in his business. 👍 Great playlist as well 🎵.
