"Captain Simon gave our family a fishing trip they will remember forever. We had 3 generations of boys together with the youngest ages 5, 7 & 8 going out for their first time ever. From start to finish this trip was more than we could’ve ever asked for. Aside from catching enough fish to feed 10 people dinner, he worked hard to make sure the kids had a great experience. From keeping them rigged, to going out of his way to make sure we saw dolphins, manatees, rays and turtles Capt Simon was on point. My favorite thing was how he took the time to teach the boys about the anatomy of the fish and got them hands on to learn about wildlife and the importance of preservation and regulations. I liked that we took a couple of detours to pickup trash out of the ocean on our way back too. I’ve been on hundreds of fishing trips and Bayshore is a top notch operation. If you’re lucky enough to book a trip you’ll see why." Thanks Captain Simon! Morgan R
