These waters are known for Flounder, Spanish Mackerel, Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Weakfish, and more.

    Had a BLAST!

    4 Hour Trip on July 29, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We have been on several fishing charters over the years. We went out July 29th at 8am for a 4-hour charter on the pontoon boat. Weather was perfect & fish were biting! We were on the fish within 10 minutes. We brought 19 fish onto the boat and took several home with us for dinner. Captain Jack is a great guy! He's been fishing these waters for 50 years so he knows what he's doing. We caught Flounder, Rock Bass, Ribbon fish, Oyster Toadfish, and Needle Fish. Captain Jack cleaned the fish for us on site afterwards. Highly recommend!

    Perfect trip for young fishermen

    3 Hour on July 31, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    I booked this trip because it was only 3 hours long and I figured that would be a good length of time since I ws bringing my young son with me. He loved it! He caught 7 or 8 fish himself. The rest of us caught a couple flounder apiece, and when we weren't catching fish we were enjoying a nice breeze and the pretty scenery. Captain Jack had plenty of stories to keep us entertained too. We'll be back for sure

    Book this Captain

    4 Hour Trip on May 7, 2026 • 4 adults

    We fished with Capt Jack today aboard the Black Diamond Charters pontoon. The boat and Captain are great, his knowledge of fishing this area is incredible and the conversations were great. Catching some Flounders along the way was a bonus along with a blue, skate and small shark. I was impressed with his custom rods and how well they handled the fish. If you want a nice back bay fishing experience i suggest you book one on Black Diamond. Thanks Capt Jack it was great seeing you again! Looking forward to another trip.

    First fish!

    3 Hour on March 31, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Jack was friendly, knowledgeable, and took care of everything- as much, or as little help as you wanted/needed. He told great stories and our boys (age 17&+13) had a blast. Our 13 year old caught his first fish... a SHARK! He was on cloud nine for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend 👌

    Black Diamond fishing trip

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on April 5, 2025 • 3 adults

    The trip was fantastic. The captain and mate were excellent and shared many stories of past fishing adventures. We targeted flounder and between myself, my son, and my grandson, we reeled in 18. Of the fish we caught, only 3 were legal in size, with the biggest one about 19 inches. The others we hooked were all between 12 to 15 inches. It was a great trip and I would highly recommend this charter to anyone who wants to catch fish.
