Captain Bruce was excellent.  He communicated well ahead of time as we had to work around some weather in the forecast.  We had a 4 hour afternoon trip booked, but forecast was calling for high winds.  Rather than going offshore, he called a day ahead and offered to reschedule for a better day.  Since we didn’t have any other days to go, he suggested we go in the gulf for calmer waters.  That meant about a 45 minute ride each way, but we had 2+ hours of great fishing where we went. 

We had a family of 4 (11 and 13 year old kids).  Captain Bruce was easy going and spent time talking to the kids.  We have a little bit of fishing experience, so he quickly showed the kids the basics for how we were fishing today and we were quickly off. 

We probably caught at least 30 fish, and a wide variety (mackerel, snapper, catfish, trout, and more).  We kept 6, and he cleaned and bagged them for us and gave us a few suggestions where to take them for dinner.

Start to finish, it was exactly what we were looking for, have some fun, catch plenty of fish to keep everyone excited, and leave with a little bit of dinner.  If I come back to the keys, I wouldn’t think twice, I would book with Bruce again.
