Tough Day
Inshore Fishing – 4 Hour Trip on March 15, 2023

Unfortunately we didn’t have good weather. It was only 49 degrees, cloudy with wind and rain. Captain Jarrod took us up into the Little Manatee River to start. We were hoping that the wind would die down for us to get out on the bay. I caught a couple of fish but nothing we could keep. My dad and father in law had opportunities but either missed them or lost them. We tried to go out to the bay but it was too rough. We did try another spot but no luck. We had to call it an hour early because of a storm coming in. It’s not captain Jarrod’s fault that we had bad weather and we did have our chances to hook fish. I would recommend him and if I get a chance next year I would like to try it again. Thanks captain Jarrod!

Great Day -
Inshore Fishing – 4 Hour Trip on July 28, 20232 adults

Me and my son booked Jarrod to have some fun on the water. Jarrod and his mate were a blast and they put us on Snapper and Spanish Mackerels. Best 4 hours I’ve ever experienced and would recommend Jarrod if wanting to experience a great day on the water catching fish. Jarrod cleaned all our fish afterwards and put in bags on ice!?

Reported catch:
Redfish
Spanish Mackerel
Response from Captain

So glad you had fun fishing with us. Hope to see you again soon!

Half day trip with captain Jarrod
Inshore Fishing – 4 Hour Trip on September 3, 20221 adult

I purchased this trip as a birthday present for my son who works so hard he doesn't get time to fish. He invited a childhood friend I Had not seen in decades. Captain Jarrod did everything to make this a special day. They pulled in fish after fish which the captain expertly fileted. I baked the Spanish mackerel in seasoned panko crumbs and he took them back to Atlanta for a special dinner. Every thing about the trip couldn't have been better. I was so happy they both had a good time.

Response from Captain

I'm so happy this was so amazing for everyone!
