We had a great time! Jason did everything he promised he would do and then some! My girlfriend caught some fish and so did I but the best part was at the end when he tried to get us on a tarpon or a shark and about two minutes before the trip was over he said give it two more minutes and sure enough within thirty seconds of him saying that the reel was spoiling off with what we can only assume was a shark on the other end, we lost it close to the boat but the experience was A1 all the way around and the only thing I regret is not booking more time.

My son and I had the best fishing experience of our lives with Captain Jason — a 4-8 pm tarpon trip that produced three long tarpon fights, several jumps and countless memories. Jason knew where to go, what to use and was incredible in maneuvering his boat to help deliver an unforgettable day on the water. Our final tarpon was “6-foot and girthy” — a perfect ending to our day. If you’re looking for a charter, we highly recommend Jason for whatever fish you’re after.

We left the dock on time and had a great experience. WE were told about the weather conditions were windy. When we were out there it was fine. He explained what the family before us was catching. They were catching smaller fish. We had it in mind to catch shark and or tarpon.  A tall ask for time and type of fishing charter we were heading out on. My son 13 yoa made the call to opt for the bigger shark and tarpon . Captain Jason said great and headed home for some lunch and returned with the necessary rods to make it happen.  He had saved loads of chum; fish heads, mahi bellies and more for us since we had expressed interest in this variety when we first booked on fishingboooker. HE was prepared. What we were not prepared for was what came next….nothing . We sat holding rods with fish heads on them for ...1:45 min of our 2 hour trip.  Captain Jason then at that 1:45 mark told us, hey I want you guys to be happy and I’ll extend your time a half hour or just until we catch something whichever comes first. I thought that was very accommodating. BUT RIGHT THEN ...WHAM!!! out the line ran on my son’s pole and he had a BIG FISH on…THEN WHAMMM!!! my line spun out the opposite direction. Captain Jason said, ‘this is great but we have to possibly take only one fish..’ we opted fo course for my son’s. My line went 1500 yards and finally snapped. Captain Jason had called the right specie too by the way the fish was fighting, turning out there etc. Lemon Shark on! likely on both lines too. So, the battle raged on for 20 minutes of reeling in . My son was exhausted and thrilled with a smile ear to ear. He had his picture with his 5 1/2 ’ 85 pound Lemon Shark.  What more could we ask for? A home run in the bottom of the 9th inning! Thanks Captain Jason. Super knowledgeable and personable. Photos to come.

My wife and I booked a half day PM trip with Capt. Jason on our Honeymoon in Islamorada and we had an amazing time out there! We got to the first spot and I caught a lemon shark in the first 20 minutes. A storm rolled in with heavy rain which forced us back towards the marina, but after about 10 minutes of waiting the storm out we went right back out to fishing. We proceeded to catch 2 more good sized lemon sharks, biggest being close to 6 feet and around 100 lbs! Jason has top quality equipment, he’s fun to hangout and fish with, and has great expertise of targeting all kinds of species of fish and sharks in the area. Needless to say we will definitely be back and booking with Jason again when we make it back to Islamorada! Thanks for the great trip out there!!

Capt. Jason is a great communicator from the minute we booked the trip until he dropped us back off at the dock. The night before our trip he called us to say the high winds would affect our fishing trip. He gave us 2 options, cancel and get a refund or fish on the bay side were it would be calmer. He assured us our safety is his #1 concern. We opted to head out on the bay side and we are very glad we did. The water was a little choppy but we stayed fairly close to shore. We caught snappers on the first cast. After awhile we movedf a little further off shore to a 2nd spot and caught 2 Lemon Sharks. We couldn’t have had a better time. Capt. Jason was very knowledgeable and shared a plethora of information with us. Our 2 grandchildren couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had. They were amazed they caught not 1 but 2 sharks. I was amazed we caught so much in a short trip. I highly recommend Katz Charters with Capt. Jason for your next fishing trip.
