Today was our son’s 5th birthday and my husband and i have made it a tradition to surprise him with taking him on a one on one “adventure”. Today we took him fishing for the first time. Billy and Jason were amazing with my son. They both clearly know the whole fishing/boating thing, but they know how to do it with kids!! It was the perfect amount… of time, Jake was engaged the entire time (and that’s no easy task), he caught more fish then he could have imagined, and it was a great day for our son and our family. If you need a special something to do with your little

We had a great afternoon with Capt. Billy. Called him last minute. He was very accommodating. He put us on the fish quickly and with the very little the we had made for memorable afternoon. Can't. Wait to go back to Tampa. We'll include time for longer day.
