Great Morning of fishing

6 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on July 3, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

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.

Thank you so much for Choosing Mainline Fishing Charters. It truly means a lot to hear that your family had an incredible day on the water with me. I take great pride in making sure even the youngest anglers stay excited and engaged, and it sounds like the “magic fishing pole” did its job! While the bite can be unpredictable, I am glad you all enjoyed the experience together — that’s what it’s all about. I can’t wait to welcome you and your family back for another adventure soon! Enjoy the rest of your vacation and safe travels home! Until next time, tight lines and happy memories!

Great with kids

5 Hour Trip –Offshore (AM)- on June 24, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

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!!!

Great Day

5 Hour Trip –Offshore (AM)- on August 22, 2025 • 3 adults

Captain Jason was excellent. He was super communicative with times, and location as well as early and prepared. Put us out on vermillion snapper and had a blast catching a ton, and a couple extras along the trip. Great captain; Highly recommend to anyone looking for a charter. Also cleaned and bagged up the fish at the end!

Thank you for your recommendation! You guys were were a blast to fish with. I’m glad you had a great time on the water and enjoyed catching plenty of vermillion snapper, along with the excitement of hooking into an amberjack. They put up an incredible fight and are always fun to reel in, even though they’re out of season and have to be released this time of year. I appreciate ya’ll and hope to see yall back again for another adventure! Until Next time! — Captain Jason

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.

Great charter.

5 Hour Trip –Offshore (AM)- on July 30, 2025 • 5 adults

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.
