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.
Capt. JD has been fishing with his own boats since 2000. He got into ocean fishing and loved it so much that he got his Captain's License. The captain has 2 boats, one for the bay, inlet, and nearshore, and one for the ocean going deep drop fishing. He fishes for all types of fish and is always looking to hook the next State Record. If the ocean is too choppy for the Green Reaper, you will go out on the Reel Steel in the bay. The captain looks forward to every day on the water and hooking up the fish.
