Jeff was very knowledgeable about fishing for all types of fish. We moved when things were slow. He's a great conversationalist and he even took us to one of the island beaches. We had a great time and will return in the fall.
Captain Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and made the entire experience enjoyable. We asked his so many questions about fishing, bait, etc and he answered all of them with no complaints. We would most definitely book with him again!
jeff was very likable, a good sport, knowledgeable of the area & fish. look forward to going again someday
knew going in it would be tough....capt. Jeff pulled thru with spot after spot to make it happen...10/10
After a slow start to the day, our captain was able to put us on the fish and turn things around. Great experience overall
