Every one caught fish!
8 Hour Trip on September 27, 20252 adults

Every one of us caught fish! Captain Clay made sure he put on fish and had his deckhand change out tackle to quickly adapt to fishing conditions. We caught a wide range of fish species. Our deckhand was very attentive to handling all bait, tackle and rod prep to make sure we were always fishing. We will be back!

6 Hour Trip (AM) on July 5, 20246 adults

Let's see.... How do I write a review of this trip.... I have had a few days to think about what I wanted to write about without having to write a long page. It has been three days now and it seems like we just got finished getting off the Jellyfish now. That is how AWSOME this trip was!! Captain Dan and Clay were nothing but top notch, they were Courteous and Professional the whole time! They were able to put us on fish at the very first spot and we caught fish from then on. And I am talking about good fish, not tiny ones either. This was our first time to do any offshore fishing of this type and these guys were able to take us out for a lifelong experience and remembrance. They blew our minds with how much knowledge, skill, and patience they had with people who had never done this kind of fishing before. I hope to possibly go back out one day and fish these guys again. I HIGHLY recommend Jellyfish Offshore Charters to anyone!!! You will NOT be disappointed.
