Great day on the water!
5 Hour Trip (PM) on April 18, 2025
I’ve been on several different charters, from South Padre, Port A, to Orange Beach, Captain Jon and Salty Peter’s was my best experience I’ve had. It was as windy day, but Captain Jon put us in the right places to still catch fish. Great patience and a great teacher, Captain Jon’s knowledge and experience in the area pays off. We will be back!

AMAZING FISHING GUIDE!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on May 22, 2024
Captain Jon Peters was very helpful with ensuring we had everything we needed to have a SAFE and GREAT TIME! He was very helpful with explaining in great detail where the best places are to go and catch fish. He provided guidance on how to properly cast and how to reel in the fish. Absolutely stress-free environment. I would definitely be requesting his services in the future! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND his services to all who want to experience this same atmosphere as we did. Hands down, the BEST!!
