Justin Dorsk performed brilliantly on the afternoon of January 18. Check out this email he sent us the next day: “We had a great day fishing on Saturday on the Explorer. The guys put us on some great fish.”

“We caught 3 sail fish and 1 Mahi. 2 other mahi spit out the hook, but we got to see them jump.”

“The dolphin pods we saw were amazing. Thanks for a great excursion.”
