Captain Joe made the experience amazing. He knew where to find the fish and if we had a lull in bites, he moved us to a new area. His First Mate Scott was amazing, he made sure we all had what we needed to have a fun, successful trip. We will absolutely be back soon and we will take all of our future trips with Silver Lining and Captain Joe.

A++++ Equipment was top notch, boat is comfortable and well kept. Joe and Scott are knowledgeable and professional. We caught our limit of snapper and lots of trigger fish. We threw back as many as we kept, lots of action. I have been on many trips before and started to question myself on my decision. Not this one. Book with confidence.
