Capt. John will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 22’ Pathfinder boat that can safely take up to 5 anglers. This boat comes with an ice box.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.

Captain John Reid Knows How to Find and Catch Fish

VERIFIED

Half Day Trip (PM) on March 12, 2024

My wife and I had a great time fishing with Captain John Reid. He knew where the good fish were, and was able to get us to catch them. I didn't expect to catch as many quality fish (Snook, Red Snapper, Sea Trout, etc.) as we did in a four hour trip. Especially for two mid-westerners unfamiliar with this type of fishing. I've fished with several guides over the years, and he hands down the best! Thank You John for a great time we'll never forget!
