Capt. John Ashley was very friendly and knowledgeable of all the bays. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip the entire day. It’s definitely shows that he has guided for quite some time. It started off a little slow, due to nature being the way she is, but come around noon it picked up really quickly and we came home with four keeper reds. Even cooked and ate part of the catch that night. I’m already planning a trip for the fall.

We had a great time. Captain John was very professional and experienced. On top on that , he is a funny guy. He got us on fish quickly and when we stopped getting bites , he knew exactly where to go. We will definitely book him again. Thanks again Captain John for a great fishing trip

Sorry you weren't satisfied with your fishing trip. I work hard to put my customers on fish and take care of my costumers on the boat. Words of advice don't show up on your next charter sunburnt and hungover and take your misery out on charter service. Good luck and God bless.
Couldn't catch those big ones but had a good time.
