5 Hour – Inshore/Nearshore (AM)
Great time
2 adults, 2 teenagers with fishing experience. I told captain John that I’d like something to take home to eat, but really just wanted to get lines in and catch fish. He got us started going after king mackerel and we ended up getting a Spanish mackerel. After that, we moved spots and ended up getting 5 bonnet heads and 2 black tip sharks, one was over 5 foot. What I liked most about the trip was how he helped the two boys understand how to use the drag and keep tension on the line, especially with the Spanish mackerel. Will book again if I’m in Hilton Head.

6 Hour Trip
Awesome trip!
We had a great trip with captain John. Beautiful boat with plenty of room for our group of 4. Weather conditions early were less than ideal, but captain still gave it a go for kings. When it got too rough, he switched gears and still put us on fish. We got several sharks, a stingray and some good size bull reds. He put in extra effort and stayed out longer to put us on schools of surface feeding reds which is apparently rare and it was cool seeing his excitement. Very knowledgeable captain. We had a great time! Thanks again.

4 Hour – Inshore/Nearshore (AM)
Fantastic Charter!
Captain John was fun, personable, and knowledgeable - my son and husband and brother had an excellent day out on the water. They caught 6 fish and learned a lot about fishing in this area. They caught bonnethead shark and red fish Dolphins were everywhere so that was an extra bonus. Would definitely recommend Captain John!

Sheepshead Trip
Best Captin Ever!
John was not only kind but also gave our group an unforgettable experience. Before setting sail, we told him that we wanted to focus on catching sheepshead and redfish, and he took us exactly to the spots where these fish were abundant. Throughout the trip, he took great care of us, ensuring that we had the best experience. Thanks to his guidance, my 10-year-old son caught the biggest sheepshead of our group! If you’re considering a fishing charter, I highly recommend John!
