Not a great day of fishing, but....
Full Day Trip on January 15, 20264 adults

Weather, seagull intrusions, wind and waves and only one king mackerel boated -- but that's fishing. Captain suggested that we may want to change to a half day because of conditions. We agreed to this and got reimbursed by Fishing Booker for the half day from the full day. So all good! Mate Dalton worked his ass off in tough conditions and Captain Jack was great as well. Happy to recommend Shake 'n Bait for your next charter.

Captain Jack and Dalton showed our family an amazing day. The boat is fast, modern, and EXTREMELY comfortable. The captain and crew were great to talk to and put us on the fish. Highly recommend and very family-friendly. We would definitely book again.

Great Time
3/4 Day Trip on February 27, 20262 adults

Captain Jack and Dalton were great. Worked hard to get me on a sailfish and even though I didnt land it because it spit the hook after a good fight, I had a blast. Also, I caught a decent Kingfish. I recommend the this crew and boat.
