Captain Ethan was very knowledgeable and made sure we had success. He is an extremely hard worker. We told him we wanted to make sure our daughter had a good time. He started us out in the sound because he thought the ocean might be too rough for us especially with a 7 year old on board. He heard shortly after we got started that it was calm enough for us to go out. She was a little scared going over the waves in the ocean, but he was doing his best to make it as smooth as possible. She was able to try to reel in a couple of blue, but they would bite the line or slip off.  The blues gave us a good fight & were a lot of fun. On our way back he stopped at one more place in the sound to let our little girl try one more time. She finally was able to catch 2! She was very excited! I loved that he cared enough to make sure her first fishing trip was a success! I highly recommend Ethan!
