Captain/Owner
Some people are born to fish. Dillard Young is one of those people. And he loves helping other people catch fish, sharing his years of experience. You'll know from the minute you leave shore you're in the hands of someone who not only knows his business but takes pride in making your fishing trip relaxed, enjoyable, and successful. When you return he'll quickly fillet your catch and send you home with supper.
