Late January Fishing Report

A Great Place for Anglers A great spot for anglers. We fished for five days and, with one exception, the guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The offshore boats were serviceable, if not spotless, and the skiffs were all very nice. We stayed right at the marina in dated but clean rooms, and there's a great restaurant (Lazy Daze) next door (but the on-site cafe is poor). Everything is on island time so don't expect efficiency, but that's part of the charm. We would absolutely come again.

5 stars to employees of Galley Girls cafe. Sweet ladies in the cafe. Good size breakfast plate.

5 stars to the employees in the office who listened to our needs and set us up with a smaller boat for just the two of us. He didn't try to upsell us to a bigger boat we didn't need.

50 gold stars to Jim Hendrix on the Dauntless!! Great captain, patient with me who is a complete novice. He knows his stuff: boat, fish, the ocean. Wouldn't hesitate going back.
