We had a wonderful experience fishing in the bay. Captain Murphy and his staff were great in laying out expectations, how to be successful catching various species and what to do with the scary ones (mud eels, sharks, sea catfish, stingrays etc) it was perfect amount of time and we all had a blast. Thanks for having us!Fishing with this crew, Tyler and Brandon was wonderful. Tyler taught us what we needed to know and Brandon took us to a great spot. Most if not all fishing groups caught fish.

Fishing with this crew, Tyler and Brandon was wonderful. Tyler taught us what we needed to know and Brandon took us to a great spot. Most if not all fishing groups caught fish. Tyler took care of fish removal off hooks and placed them on stringers. We gAve our catch away to others but he was going to clean and bag it all for those to take home. A great time!Loved the entire experience! The crew was great and attentive! For first timers all our questions were kindly answered.

The captain and deck hand were very out of touch. They even managed a nap while everyone stood around. (See pictures below) The boat was a mess. Every fishing reel had a rats nest after about 30 feet of line. I had booked this trip because of the reviews on Trip Advisor. A picture is worth a thousand words. I booked for two days. When I tried to cancel the second day, they said fine, no refunds. Buyer be ware!My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful morning on board the Hard Bottom Too. It was a beautiful day for fishing.

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful morning on board the Hard Bottom Too. It was a beautiful day for fishing. There were only a handful of people on our boat for Bay Fishing. However, the boat beside us was full of deep sea fishers. We spent 4 hours in the bay, and were very well taken care of by Tyler. Tyler was friendly, helpful, and informative. Unfortunately the fish were not interested in what we were offering. A few catfish that were thrown back and a tiny sand trout were all the bounty our 4 hours of investment netted. Nevertheless, it was a nice and relaxing morning. We were disappointed that the boat captain did not introduce himself or talk to any of us at all.
