CAPT. B’S SURF FISHING CHARTERS
“I hired Capt. B to help me with my surf fishing skills. Capt B is extremely knowledgeable and skilled at his craft. I showed up early, he was already there at one of his favorite spots that I still go to. He taught me a lot about surf fishing you won’t learn on the Internet. We caught a lot of fish, and I went home with enough to feed my family of five! He was even nice enough to give me a few packs of his favorite rigs and bait for my next solo outing.”
