After a 1 day reschedule due to weather, we had tight lines out the gate. Capt Johnny Fairbanks had us on blues 1st thing. He was constantly on the phone and radio to fill the well. Got our limit then switched to some much anticipated SHARK fishing. He knew exactly where to go. Hooked into a fierce spinner that ran me around the boat 3x. We then hooked into a nice Blacknose. Would definitely recommend Capt Fairbanks on Island time charters.
Captain Johnny really knows how to put you on the fish and have a good time out on the water. We did a 3/4 day and were able to catch spanish mackerel, blue fish, shark, and red drum. We had a blast and will be coming back.
Our captain was very knowledgeable and good with helping our boys (8, 11, 15) learn more about fishing. They caught more fish than any of us were expecting and everyone had an awesome time. Thank you!
This was our third trip with Captain Johnny, and once again, he did not disappoint! My son and I always look forward to these charters, and this time was no exception. Even though the conditions weren’t exactly ideal—windy and a little tough early on—Johnny still managed to get us on the fish. His experience and determination really showed, and he worked hard to make sure we had a great day on the water. It’s clear he knows the area like the back of his hand, and he’s always upbeat, patient, and great with kids. Watching my son reel in fish after fish and seeing the excitement on his face made the whole trip worth it. These are the kinds of memories we’ll never forget. Can’t recommend Captain Johnny enough. If you’re looking for a great day on the water with someone who truly cares about making your trip special, he’s your guy. We’ll definitely be back for trip number four!
