We had an amazing day today. The ship's captain was outstanding, ensuring that the fishing poles were always prepared and that everyone was at ease. It turned out to be a fantastic fishing day, with plenty of catches. I highly recommend this service.

Great time. He made sure to keep us on fish most of the day. We ended up with over 40 keepers.

Our group of 4 had a fabulous time! From the moment we stepped onto the boat and met Captain Jon and Captain Jerrad, we felt comfortable and safe. We traveled in some rough seas, but the Sounder handled them beautifully! We caught so many fish, there was never an empty hook! ...

Captain John and Captain Jerrad were not only incredibly knowledgeable about their craft but also made our experience relaxed and entertaining! They knew exactly where the fish would be biting, so we caught nearly our limit. These two seasoned fishermen are worth every penny!

Couldn’t have asked for a better trip. This was the first time out with the whole family including 4 young boys. Captain Jon was awesome and put them on lots of fish. They had an absolute blast. Would definitely recommend using him for your family trip.

Captain Jon did a great job. Very friendly and patient with my little guy. He let him help him with bait and stuff. We started out kinda slow but wound up with a few good keepers. Would definitely ride with him again!

We were extremely impressed with Bendin Rods! Captain Jon makes sure everything you need is taken care of, so all you have to worry about is reeling in some big fish! Had the first fish on the line within an hour and didn't stop catching them until the boat was almost docked. Fee...
