End of October Fishing Report!

Excellent Fishing Charter w Capt. Trentin Leary I recently enjoyed a half-day fishing charter with Captain Trentin Leary, which was both enjoyable and successful. His extensive knowledge of the best fishing spots ensured we caught plenty of fish. We were happy to know that we had enough for lunch and dinner. Trentin's social nature and expert guidance made the experience educational and engaging. The scenic surroundings and a well-equipped boat added to the day's pleasure. I highly recommend Captain Trentin Leary for an unforgettable fishing adventure.

I'm still going to give Bud & Mary's party boat five stars because I love the marina, the captain and the party boat itself 100% but for the first time in 7 to 8 years that I have been going on this boat I was a little disappointed with the crew. Ive never felt like they played favorites until yesterday. There was a particular customer that is also a regular and he and his family we're treated like royalty and others not so much. One of the other guest from out of town and I had a long conversation about it. It was definitely clear to all the other guest as well. I won't stop going on that boat because as I said I really like captain and love Bud n Mary's. My son worked in the service industry for years so I believe in tipping but I'll tip according to the way I'm treated as well.

Great fishing for the kiddos Great half day reef trip this morning.

Two boys 6 and 7. Wanted a fun day with plenty of action and a good crew. Found everything we were looking for!!!
Captain is a family man, and extremely nice. First mate could not have been better with the kids.

Not the best of water conditions but the A/c cabin was perfect for my green faced wife and the boys when they needed a rest

We fish a lot and can tell you that a great Capt and crew can make or break ur day

Today was a great day.

I’d recommend this crew!
