4 Hour Morning Trip (7am)bay
Captain went above and beyond
Captain Jake went above and beyond to make sure we had a successful fishing trip. Even though we experienced some bad weather and storms, the captain took us to places to ensure we were able to catch some great fish such as redfish, black drum, and mangrove snapper. It was also refreshing to have a boat captain that did not use foul language; and that had a positive attitude. Whether you are a family with young kids, or just looking for a fishing trip with some buddies, please choose 2nd Chance. You won’t regret it.

Great day with great captain!!
My siblings and I were searching for a private fishing. I’m local - they came from WI and MN. Jake responded quickly to our inquiries and we got trip planned! Before the trip Cap’n Jake was helpful in answering our questions and providing good details. We met on the dock and were on the water and moving within minutes. His knowledge of the area and the fish we were going to catch were great. Providing all the tackle and live shrimp to catch fish, we started casting right away. First fish on was a 32” red fish!!!!! Too big to keep, but really fun to catch!!! Jake would cast the lure and bait and hand the rods over to us and give us tips. It was a really fun trip and Jake was a great captain. We will definitely be using him again!!!!

Great experience!
We had a great experience with Jake. He was kind and patient, and catered to our son who was celebrating a birthday on the trip. We got to catch several different types of fish and really enjoyed the trip. Jake was great and helpful, set everything up for us and made it a great experience. Would recommend for an enjoyable family friendly trip!

We caught fish despite bad weather
The weather didn't cooperate, but Captain Sargent worked hard to get us on fish. Everyone caught something and my kid pulled in a big bull red. He knows great spots for all conditions.

4 Hour Trip – Fish/Swim Combo (PM)
A very nice boat ride.
It was a very nice boat ride. Captain Jake knows the sweet spots to catch fish, even though we got a few (water temperature not ideal for fishing - 2 pm) he tried his best to get us to catch a few. We had plenty of time to swim on the water and have a very good time.
