These two guys are some of the best, their number one priority is your experience and putting you on fish. Steve is very knowledgeable and dedicated to being the best. Jimmy is just a great mate and is an awesome funny guy to be out with. Thank both of you guys for giving us a great fishing experience. I look forward to many more trips.
