Me and my boys didn’t catch a lot of fish. However, Captain John did his best, and everything considered regarding weather; we all made the best of it! I booked this trip months ago, and you cannot predict all the weather issues, barometric pressure, etc… I’ve fished with Captain John before and conditions were better and he put us on fish! He’s a great guide that cares to have fun and put clients on fish! Would use him 10/10 times!!
Cpt Peters does everything he can to make a safe a successful trip from being vigilant on weather to communicating with other guides on the days success. We caught lots if fish and got to see parts of the area new to us, plus were entertained the entire time. Cpt Peter’s keeps the jokes rolling, but don’t worry he is open to restrictions on the jokes. We will look him up next time!
We had a great time. The fishing was slow, but theres nothing anyone couldve done about that I really appreciated the fact that Captain John put his fishing knowledge to work doing everything he could to get us on fish. we ended up catching two black drum, one of them being a keeper and a bunch of hardheads. We will definitely book again!!
Jon works the water year round and knows the current fish patterns. He obviously has spent time marking great spots and can give appropriate technical guidance. He seemlessly interacted with everyone in our group, from a 16 year old girl to the adults. We enjoyed catching fish with him and hope to book another trip in the future.
