Capt. Jared was amazing!!  My son (14) and booked him for a 1/2 day in early June.  After reaching out to 4 different charters, he was the only one that followed up with a text & phone call.  The boat was clean and he shortly put us on some fish.  We caught 25+ on the day with 8 different species.  Ohhh…the redfish he filleted we’re so delicious.  When my son was asked what was the best part of our family vacation, he emphatically said “fishing with Jared”.  I highly recommend Capt. Jared.

Our family of four had a great fishing experience with Jared. He was patient and educational with providing us with instruction and baiting our lines. He was relentless with finding us great spots to fish. We caught just what we needed for dinner and then released the remainder of our catch. We took our fresh catch to a local restaurant to prepare which was delicious. The boat ride was enjoyable and we got to see a variety of marine life along the way. I would definitely recommend!

I booked a half day, morning trip for my dad and I as a Christmas present and we had the best time with Captain Jared. Not only was the weather great, but we also caught a bunch of fish such as red drum, triple tail, and mangrove snappers. He was incredibly knowledgable of the costal waters, and we learned so much about the local fish and where they like to hang out. Overall, Captain Jared was super friendly and helpful (especially, when he found my phone after if fell into the gulf). I would completely recommend him to anyone looking for fishing down in the Marco Island/Goodland area.

As a birthday gift to my boyfriend I booked a half day fishing trip with Jared. He is a huge fishing fan and had high expectations for the day.
Jared was sympathetic from the get go, and we headed out on time. The boat made a good impression, looked new, clean and well equipped. Right from the beginning we had a lovely encounter with a couple of dolphins, that really impressed us with some jumps. After a short trip out with good music we could make our first cast near the mangroves, which caught my boyfriend his first catch of the day, a spotted sea trout.
Meanwhile I was getting to know the technique of fishing, since this was my very first time. Jared showed a lot of patience and soon enough I caught a redfish.
During our half day trip we where rewarded with multiple different fish – ladyfish, sheepshead, catfish, jack crevalle, snapper and even a small grouper – the biodiversity was great!
After a successful day on the water, Jared prepared the fish we caught, which we surly enjoyed for dinner. Thanks a lot for a wonderful day.

Started out a tough day as the tide was so low it was difficult to get to any good spots. Capt. Jared was able to maneuver through some skinny water and ultimately got us into a decent bite. Caught 3 large Black Drum in addition to some other released fish. Had a great fight with a good size Jack. Overall, considering the weather and tides, we had a great trip. Jared was very patient and helpful with my 8 year old daughter. I would recommend him to others and will seek out another trip in the future.
