Fantastic trip.
Half Day Offshore - 1:05 PM on March 16, 20262 adults

my son and I went fishing, and had an amazing time. Highly skilled captain who loves fishing and knows his local waters. We had high winds but he was able to get us off shore where we landed a large King fish. He then rolled out the Kite and we locked on to a gorgeous sail fish. It fought for over 30 minutes, and when we brought it alongside the bost we took some pictures of it and realesed it. It was a gorgeous color and deserves to be live and free in the ocean. Overall an amazing trip, we’re definitely coming back. Thank you captain.

Beautiful Day - Great Fishing
Half Day Offshore on June 17, 20262 adults

We had a great day fishing with Captain Jed. Kept busy catching snapper, yellow tail, mutton, and my first sail fish. Captain Jed made sure we always had lines in the water and ready to go. Great day wiry my son. I recommend Captian Jed to new and experienced fishers looking for a knowledgeable, hard working captain.

Do IT!!
5 Hour Offshore on April 13, 20262 adults

Great trip. Great communication and effort. You can not catch fish without a line in the water. Mr. Parker had MANY well presented lines in the water. He also kept his bait fresh. He has the know how and puts in the correct productive effort. You will catch more with him than others.

Reported catch:
King Mackerel (Kingfish)

Great trip for the family with 10 to 15-year-old kids
Family Fun Catch & Release Special! on March 23, 20263 adults3 children

Our captain was phenomenal. We had a wonderful trip and caught 4 tuna. It was a perfect length for our family to do a short little excursion and catch some fish instead of just sitting at the beach all day. We will definitely do this again next time we’re in town.

Reported catch:
Blackfin Tuna

Jedidiah was great.
Half Day Offshore - 1:05 PM on April 1, 20265 adults

We had a great day, unfortunately the fish weren’t biting. The weather was overcast and windy at times. We focused on sail fishing using kites. We also went for black tailed tuna using a similar method. We would definitely use him again.

thank you!

I grew up fishing with my father. It was through watching him that I fell in love with the sport/art of fishing! Every chance I got as a kid was spent on the water chasing fish. Now I have the opportunity to do what I love every day. I hope to meet you soon.
