Life is great when fishing!!!
Half Day – Reef Trip - 1:00 PM on March 28, 20263 adults1 child

We came in from Michigan for a family trip, captain jon keep great communication with us before hand. Well the flight down was horrible we had to change our flight from Miami to Fort Lauderdale , out luggage never made it and the beginning of our trip was a disaster until Captin Jon. Game changer!!! one of the best things ever. I love to fish and have fished with other characters down in the keys but nothing like getting the chance to fish with Captain Jon. Probably one of the nicest Captain i have fished with and he even had my 18 yr old daughter bending the rod. We caught a variety of fish and a nurse shark, if you book a trip make sure to do 6 hr it’s worth it. Words can’t describe how amazing this fishing trip was, so he set the bar on a epic vacation even after all the bad airport stuff and it really going to be hard to beat this experience. Thank Captain Jon. I will be booking another trip in the future, looking forward to the night tarpon fish next year.

Reported catch:
Great Barracuda
Mangrove Snapper

Capt. Jon is outstanding!!!!
Full Day – Shark Trip on April 9, 20262 adults

We just finished a full day trip with Capt. Jon. It was myself and my 14 and 12 year old sons. From the start Capt. Jon was outstand with my kids. He worked his butt off to make sure we had a great experince. He is very knowledgeable and is truly in this for the right reasons. He treated my kids like his own. Caught over 50 mix species fish and finished with heavy tackle hooking up with multiple monsters that broke us off. My older son landed a 6 foot nurse shark. This Captain is the absolute best and we cant wait to become repeat clients!!!!!

Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper

The man delivers!
Half Day – Shark Trip - 1:00 PM on June 14, 20262 adults

After embarking on previous tarpon fishing expeditions and leaving empty-handed, I was cautiously optimistic heading into my overnight tarpon fishing excursion. A brief lul in the voyage was quickly turned on its head by 3 consecutive massive tarpon hits that yielded 150lb plus tarpons with 1 hour fights each. My dad and I had a blast would recommend this charter and this captain to anyone interested in landing this elusive trophy fish. Jon was both knowledgeable and very easy to talk to the whole night. High marks all around!

Reported catch:
Tarpon

A Great Day on the Water!
Half Day – Backcountry Trip on April 10, 20262 adults

My wife and I had a blast fishing with Jon and Reel Attack Charters. Jon is an outstanding host and made the trip a great time. The higher than normal winds and waves made things a little more challenging, but Jon had plenty of great spots that put us on lots of fish. He cleaned our catch at the end of the day and gave a great recommendation for a nearby restaurant to cook it up for us. I highly recommend fishing with Jon and will definitely be a returning customer.

Great trip even better captain
Half Day – Backcountry Trip on March 13, 20262 adults

Jon was an amazing host, he was very knowledgable and personable. Unfortuantely weather wasnt on our side for part of the trip but he knew exactly how to avoid the worst of the weather and still got us to locations where we were able to catch a lot of fish. He even went the extra mile to filet our catch and had great recommendations on where we can take it for them to cook it for us! We will definitely be back to fish with Jon again!
