What an amazing morning!
4 hour trip (AM) on March 22, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Jack was awesome. We had 3 adults and 3 kids. Jack immediately had us on snook and redfish, sometimes three of us hooked at the same time! He was incredibly patient and helpful with the kids, constantly refreshing their bait and quick with the net to help reel in some monsters. Jack is very knowledgeable and so easy to get along with. He even woke up super early to drive out of his way to mae sure we had the best bait. He cleaned our fish at end and we just finished eating it. We thought it was worth every penny. The boat looks brand new and was easy to navigate around, even with all of us fishing at once. Also caught some jack that put up a heck of a fight. We will definitely be repeat customers.

Perfect Day Fishing with my Sons
6 hour nearshore trip on March 10, 20263 adults

Captain Jack was a great guide. We booked a six-hour trip and we hit a number of reefs. Caught a good number of Sheepshead and Snappers… definitely kept him busy rebating our hooks and sending the little ones back to get bigger for the next fishers. Headed back to a good spot and hooked into a nice sized Cobia. Two inches short of a keeper, but it was fun spotting and maneuvering around the pods and convincing one to take the bait. Couldn’t get another to take the bait… not without trying our best though. Captain Jack cleaned our fish and we made some amazing fish tacos with our catch. I would definitely recommend fishing with Captain Jack.

Siempre estuvo atento, enseñando las indicaciones claras, y preocupándose porque tuviéramos capturas, nos fuimos muy contentos, pescamos 14 peces, y los chicos en las 4 horas que estuvimos se entretuvieron, muchas gracias al Capitan Jack, tiene paciencia y mucha experiencia, todo genial solo queda agradecerle. PD.- Si necesitas te filetea los peces para que te los lleves.

Another amazing trip with captain jack!
4 hour trip (AM) on July 7, 20261 adult1 child

my aon and I fished with captain Jack last summer and had such a great experience my son insisted that this year we had to fish with captain jack again. This year everything was just as great again. Captain jack had us on fish from the very first spot and it continued all morning. He was a great captain with a great boat and great equipment. He is also a great help to my son who loves to fish and loved to learn to be a better fisherman. we will most definitely be booking with captain Jack again next year for our annual fishing trip!

Captain Jack was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly attentive, always quick to change bait and lines, and fantastic with the kids, helping them whenever they needed it. He really zipped around the boat, making sure everyone was having a great time. He made the entire fishing trip so much fun! My son has been wanting to go salt water fishing and this was definitely the highlight of our trip. We caught a tons of fish, and he even filleted them for us. EVerybody absolutely loved the experience!
