This is our second summer fishing with Captain John. We enjoyed this year as much as last year. He is very friendly, has lots of great fishing spots, and has all equipment needed to fish. The boat is clean and comfortable. The bonus is the fun boat ride and bird watching! We plan to book with him again next summer!

Fun Family Fishing trip
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.

Captain Johnny did a great job on our kids fishing tour. He was excellent with our kids and took time to interact and make the trip fun for my girls! Excellent boat and gear for the trip. He worked hard to help us find a good spot so that everyone had a great experience. We would highly recommend ol blue and will be sure to use his charter again! Thank you for such a great trip.

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!
