Normal rate is $190 and paid members of TFF only pay $171 per day!! Kevin has two boats and can take up to four anglers per day.

Yup, I am in for at least one day with a guide. Wondering if I should bring my kayak for the second day...that would be interesting.

Hey guys. Unfortunately Barry can't come, he forgot about a prior commitment. I got an email yesterday confirming a trip for Saturday the 23rd and Sunday the 24th. Story of my life! I wonder if you could tow Krebs boat up there and ferry it over to the island?
