My wife and I and another couple went on a half day trip with Jason while on vacation in Islamorada.  Jason was on time meeting us at Robbies dock.  Fishing conditions were not idea as it was very windy and the current was strong.  Jason’s knowledge of how and where to fish in these conditions made all the difference in ensuring we caught our fair share of keepers.  We fished with light tackle provided by Jason which made the fight fun.  Would definitely go out with him again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a fun time fishing in Islamorada.

We did the 2 hour family fun trip and it was awesome! Just right if you have antsy kids who want to catch fish but don’t want to spend all day doing it. We were dealt some bad weather but Captain Jason made the best of it and got us on some fish. My son caught a fish on his first cast out. We caught so many fish in such a small amount of time. Captain knows where to go! It was so fun to see my kids faces light up when they hooked the fish. Jason also cleaned and fileted our fish which we brought to Robbies to cook for us. I highly recommend Katz charters and the family fun trip.

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!!

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.
