6 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM)

Great Morning of fishing

VERIFIED

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!

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.

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.

Thank you for choosing Mainline Fishing Charters! I am glad you and your son had a great time despite the rough seas. Some days the fish just keep us guessing, but we made it happen by ending up catching a few Spanish mackerel along with king Mackerel , but I’m also glad you still enjoyed the trip. I appreciate your kind words and would be honored to have you back out on the water anytime!
