2 hour Kids Trip on June 26, 2025
Our 8 year old son said this was his favorite part of our beach trip! Captain Johnny took the time to let my son catch his own bait and use it. He then proceeded to catch two rather large black drum with it! We were stoked! My husband learned a few things and we all had a blast! Highly recommend this charter for kids!

We had a great time on the 2 hr kids charter with Capt. Johnny. We caught all kinds of fish and he was great with my 6 yr old son, teaching him about the fish, how to bait a hook, and even cast the line one his own. We would definitely recommend Capt. Johnny and Ol’ Blue Fishing Charters.

Half Day Trip on April 19, 2025
We had a great half day fishing trip with Johnny today leaving from the OIB boat ramp. Johnny had everything we needed for the trip, was there to quickly help us reload and set our lines, and we were able to go to multiple different locations to fish, and had a great time being out on the water as a family. Highly recommend Johnny as a guide and looking forward going again next time we come down to OIB.
