Captain Jon was terrific! We met up early, and headed out immediately. He put my girlfriend and I on the fish and kept us there all four hours of our trip. We couldn’t keep up with the amount of fish biting. A lot of them weren’t “legal”, but we both caught our limit. When we got back, Captain Jon cleaned and filleted and bagged our catch. I highly recommend him and his charter. Great time and he means what he says, “no catch, no pay”. Thanks again, Jon!
If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water, I can’t recommend Jon highly enough. From the moment we set out, it was clear he knows his craft inside and out. His knowledge of the local waters, fish behavior, and best techniques made all the difference—not just in how much we caught, but in how much we learned along the way. What really stood out was Jon’s patience and attitude. He’s the kind of guide who genuinely wants you to succeed and have a great time doing it.The equipment was top-notch, the boat was clean and well-maintained, and every detail was handled professionally. But beyond that, Jon just makes the whole experience enjoyable—easygoing, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does.By the end of the trip, it felt less like hiring a guide and more like spending the day fishing with a friend who happens to know all the best spots. I’d book with Jon again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone looking for a first-class fishing experience.
Cpt. John was great helping my two kids. We saw dolphins. We caught speckled trout, red fish, black drum. Had fresh fish to eat for the rest of our trip.
Captain Jon got is on the Fish quick and we got our limit of trout and caught a couple nice Reds and a some Black Drum as well. Easy set up, and was enjoyable for me and my Fiancé.
So I wanted to give my wife a guided fishing trip for her birthday since she loves to fish. I found Captain Jon and booked a full day trip. He made things very easy the morning of the trip and wasted no time putting us on the fish. We had dolphins following us all day but Capt. Jon managed to keep us on the fish. My wife caught the big fish of the day and I somehow caught a Texas Slam. My wife was very happy and said it was the best guided trip she had been on. I would absolutely book with Capt Jon. Thank you for a great trip.

Had a great time fishing with Capt Jon. was a slow morning due to weather, but still had a good day fishing by the end of it. Capt Jon was very friendly and made sure my mom (little to no fishing experience) was having a good time and catching fish too. Would highly recommend.
Captain Jon was the best! Our bait wasn't in the water but for a few seconds and the race was on!! Caught fish every 8-10 minutes. Best trip I've been on, no complaints! Caught a 27.5 in Trout, she was a beauty! Big reds,lots of speckle trout! Cant wait to book again!

We had so much fun with Captain Jon. He was so patient with my pathetic casting skills. We maxed out on Trout and caught some nice Reds. My husband even caught me a flounder. We threw so many small trout and baby reds back, can't wait until next year to snag them again.
It was my 15 yo first time on a boat. First time fishing from a boat. First time seeing a dolphin. She had a great time and Capt Jon was patient and so very helpful! He got her on fish right away!
We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Jon! We limited out on trout and had a GREAT time doing it! Will definitely book with him again! Highly recommend! 10/10!!

Thank you Mark! So glad y’all enjoyed!
Captain Jon, our captain, was a super guy to head our trip. He knew the wind was going to be stronger the day of our trip and called to see if we go could go a day earlier. Worked out great for us. Caught several good Red fish and Trout. I will be recommending Jon to all my friends.

Thank you Bob! So glad y’all enjoyed!

Thank you Tyler!! So glad y’all enjoyed!
We caught a ton of trout and some solid reds. We hit our limit for both! Captain Jon clearly knows the bay and the good spots to reel em all in. We had a blast on our trip and getting to see dolphins was the cherry on top. Thanks, Captain Jon!

Thank you Kristen! So glad y’all enjoyed!

Capt Jon was an excellent guide, putting on limits of trout despite poor weather. He was patient and knowledgeable, teaching us new tips and tricks to catch fish. We had a great time and will definitely book again in the near future.

Thank you Ashton! So glad y’all enjoyed!
