Great Morning of fishing
6 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on July 3, 2025
My family and I had an incredible outing with Captain Jason. My little one, who's 7, had a fantastic time thanks to Jason's patience and skill. He had our child captivated, he’s still talking about the magic fishing pole capt Jason had him using. Everyone was engaged in fishing the entire time! While the bite was a bit slow, that’s just part of the experience—some days you catch plenty, and other days they’re just not biting. Regardless, we can't wait to rebook with Captain Jason for another trip.

After reading comments about how wonderful Captain Jason was with kids, I chose him to charter my 6 year old daughters trip. Not only did she have a blast, as the prior comments stated, Captain Jason was extremely patient and would recommend him for anyone looking to take their youngins out.

5 Hour Trip –Offshore (AM)- on July 30, 2025
After an abrupt cancellation from Finatical charter. We had to reschedule. We had a great experience with Jason. Everyone caught fish and had fun. The boat was well equipped and ready to catch fish. I am glad Jason saved the day for 4 Air Force vets who have not seen each other in 36 years.

We booked this trip and took my wife my father and my 7 year old son. Jason was so wonderful on so many levels! Our 7 year old asked a million questions and was all up in his business and he never flinched or got annoyed! He made the trip the best and weve decided next trip we will be booking with him again!! We caught a bunch of cool fish and he was so helpful and knowledgeable! Definitely recommend this trip!!!

Despite some pretty rough seas, Jason worked hard to get us on fish. While we didn’t catch as many or as big of fish as we’d hoped (do you ever?) my son and I had a great time. I would not hesitate to book again with him.

Hi, I am Captain Jason, and I have many years of experience fishing in the Gulf of America. It all started at a young age for me, fishing was one of my favorite things to do with my grandfather. I am grateful to be able to do something I love and am passionate about. My favorite part of the day is the customer's excitement when they land that fish, I still to this day understand that feeling an excitement along with the rush. I have worked hard to secure a firm foundation as a charter boat captain to ensure that you have a safe and productive trip.
