Captain John was an absolute delight, very knowledgeable and personable. Interesting guy! Put us on fish immediately, and did all the work! Beautiful custom CC. Quiet outboard’s, and a great surprise in Dale back at dock. A must Book!
Went out on a one man charter with Capt. John with one thing in mind, hammering redfish. It seemed like every stop produced action, and Captain knew exactly where to go to keep the rods bent. Landed multiple quality reds and had a blast doing it. If you're looking for a fishing charter with a hardworking captain who knows how to put clients on fish, I highly recommend Captain John 👍
Thanks again Eddie I really appreciate it!!
I took my 15 and nine year-old sons out for a four hour trip with Captain John and had a wonderful time. The captain was very personable and did well with my sons. We went to 4 or 5 different locations inshore and overall it was a bit slow, but you can’t control that, however we did catch a giant red fish, which made it all worth it. We will absolutely be booking with Captain John again.
Thanks again Alan! Youre raising some fine young men! looking forward to doing it again soon!
Started out early and Capt John and he was immediately on the bait fish stocking us up for the day. Boat was exceptional- great ride and very clean and well kept. Trip was a perfect mix of fishing and catching, he did not disappoint. My boys are always full of questions and comments and he played right along with them. They said best trip so far, gotta plan to come back soon. Thanks again
Thanks again Scott!
Had a wonderful time fishing with Captain John! Caught several huge Black Drum. the boat was spotless and easy to move around. He got me on the fish fast. was a great time. looking forward to a retun trip with him. if you’re thinking about fishing with him book it. Captain Kohn met me at the dock and we became instant friends. You can’t go wrong fishing with him.
I appreciate the kind words Joe! looking forward to doing it again!
