4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 31, 2025

My son and I had another fabulous trip with Captain Jason. We had a blast fishing the reefs with a man who knows what he is doing. The equipment is great and Jason kept us baited and in the water as much as possible. He was good to offer pointers to us freshwater fishermen to get the fish caught and in the boat. Came back to shore with plenty of fish which Captain Jason quickly filleted for us at the resort cleaning station. You can't go wrong with Lock it Up Charters! Thanks Captain Jason!

I booked a short trip and after a short ride we were in the fish. Captain Jason is a lot of fun and was very attentive if anyone needed help in any way. Caught a fish or had a bite on every cast, from snapper or yellorail to Barracuda and shark. Bait, tackle, all was flawless. If you want a great short trip book with Capt. Jason !

Special 8 hour trip for Stelios Horaitis on August 20, 2024

Copt Jason was excellent :approach,communication,customers requests, not watching the clock and not leaving earlier as some other experiences we had, humor. He even made the trip tailored to our request and started at 3am!!! Most boats don’t even bring water on board for their customers but Jason had a variety to make you feel that he cares.YES DETAILS MATTER . I have 5 star reviews to others but his defers.caught fish and had a good time as when you fish with your best friends…Value for money compared to more expensive experiences we’ve had and lower quality. Thanks Jason

We caught a ton of snappers and a grouper and my wife and son both caught barracudas which was cool. Jason is very knowledgeable about what he is doing and the surrounding area. Would def fish with Jason again.

2 Hour Trip (AM) on November 7, 2024

I cannot say enough great things about captain Jason. We wanted to take our 4year old on her first boat trip. Not only was Captain Jason super responsive and accommodating during the booking process he created a wonderful atmosphere for our family during the trip. Not only did he know exactly how to keep our little one engaged and excited, he is a wealth of knowledge and knows his craft. Despite hearing from others it was slow the week were in town, captain Jason had us on the fish all trip. Would highly recommend.

angler's choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

I moved to the Keys when I was 21, but I've lived and fished in Florida most of my life. I worked on lobster/stone crab boats for years, but decided to get a "real job." I never left the water or fishing. I'm happy to be back doing what I love and sharing it with others. Do what you love and you never work a day in your life, well that's the plan.
