We had an AWESOME day out fishing with Big Bay fishing charters! Nate was an awesome captain and fishermen. He was very patient with our 3 year old son who was hesitant about fish to start but by the end of our day he was scooping out bate fish to feed the pelicans and touching the fish we caught. We had an amazing day and can’t wait to get back out on Nates charter again! Great family activity for all ages!
