A testimony from Joe: “I can't begin to tell you how much fun we had for our two days with you. Junior and the crew were great along with the boat and food. The snorkeling was a blast, too. I have been out on guide trips were the fishing was awful but we had a blast, and a few times I have been out where the fishing was fantastic but had a horrible time, it is a rare treat to get both great fishing and a crew that goes above and beyond. Thanks again, and if I am ever down again we will be sure to hook up again. PS: The bean dip was delicious, I have to try to give it a shot at making it for the first Penn State game, it was one of the best things I ate down there!!
