Our group went out with Southeast Fishing Charters with Captain Patrick this last weekend. Although the fishing was slow, Cap. Pat was knowledgeable and friendly.

Sal and Dominic are not only the best charter guides, but are truly amazing hosts. They tend to your every need. We are making this an annual trip. This was our second time with them and we would chose no other.
