    The Best Fishing Trip– We’ll Definitely Be Back!

    Half Day Trip on September 19, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

    We had an incredible trip with Captain Jacob! From start to finish, the entire experience was top-notch. He was punctual, highly responsible, and very kind throughout the trip. ​The boat was spotless and well-maintained, and all the fishing rods and gear provided were in excellent condition. He took us straight to great fishing spots, and we really appreciated how patiently and thoroughly he coached us on technique—his instruction made catching fish so much fun for everyone. ​We had a wonderful time out on the water and are already planning to book another trip with him soon. Highly recommended!

    Capt Jacob made sure we all caught fish

    Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on August 8, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Capt Jacob was great, he even stayed out a little bit longer so every kid was able to land a fish (and they were all keepers!). And when we got back to the dock he cleaned our catch for us. He was great at keeping our lines baited and would cast them to prime spots for the kids. Just a note, there is no shade on the boat, so especially if you take the afternoon trip, make sure to be ready for lots of sun

    Great day with some big fish

    Half Day Trip on June 12, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Jacob made it so easy for our family to enjoy the experience and was incredibly knowledgeable about area fishing, species preferences, etc. He took us to several prime spots, and we caught seven different kinds during our morning charter, the highlight being four huge red drum that were over two feet each. Great captain, great fishing, great morning. Would highly recommend.

    Terrific day on the water!!

    Half Day Trip on March 21, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had an amazing day on the water with Jacob and his friend! We caught fish, saw bald eagles and enjoyed the breathtaking water view! The guys were polite, friendly and extremely helpful allowing each person to do as much or as little as we wished for fishing. They took us to different areas in search of a variety of fish. We highly recommend booking a trip with Jacob if you are in the area!!

Capt. Jacob runs trips out of Cedar Point aboard a 24' Carolina Skiff. These waters are known for Redfish and Flounder and he will show you how to catch them on light tackle. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
