Here is a dynamic duo if I ever saw one- Astrid and Seth Hayes owners of Snookin N Cookin. Captain Seth takes clients fishing then comes to your home and becomes the chef with lots of help from Astrid. We had the pleasure of having them in our home in January, we asked for small plates and boy did they went to town with an amazing variety of tidbits all perfectly prepared and presented. My kitchen was immaculate when they left. These two have a really great idea going for them and so pleasant to work with. Give them a try. Vicki S. Bonita Springs, FL

I love taking friends and clients fishing with Seth as I have complete confidence everyone will have a fun time! Always at the dock before you with freshly netted live bait filling the wells and never afraid to call off a trip if the weather's bad or the bite's off combine with complete professionalism to assure your day on the water will be great!
