JD was the best captain and helped us with our teens have the best experience. He taught us a lot and we had so much fun out on the water. Highly recommend JD to be capatin of your charter. JD’s demeanor was age appropriate and gave our teens plenty of “positive feedback” and kept them laughing and humbled haa. He is worth it and our whole experience was awesome, plus we kept all of what caught then paid Captain Anderson’s to process and bag our catches. 10 out of 10 and my family WILL do it again. Thanks JD and company for a quality experience and great memory! Cheers Jesus Dude!
James adjusted to conditions and we still killed it. He was great with my 13 year old son. Caught spanish mackeral (while emersed in dolphins-actually had dolphins stealing our mackerel off yhe hook), sheep head (my son caught a very big one), red grouper, trigger fish (in the bay!), squirrel fish, sailors choice, and a few others. Military base shut down the area he normally fishes because of raised security measures, but he adjusted well and had us on the fish. He was patient and informative. If you want to keep the fish, he takes you to the marina and they filet and package for pretty cheap. My son said this was a top 10 life experience for him. Highly recommend.
you are the G thanks for the best time and thanks for being an even better charter guest
Captain James Moore put us on the fish! Great guy and very knowledgeable about the where the fish were! My arm was tired after our trip and couldn’t keep fish off our lines. Double and tripled up more times than I can count. Highly recommend booking with Captain James Moore he won’t disappoint. Although it is fishing and can’t guarantee catching as many fish as we did, he will try his hardest to put you on the fish!
Captain James made our first charter fishing trip a great experience! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to put us on fish. He was especially great with our four boys and made sure everyone had a fun time. We caught plenty of fish and made some great family memories. We would definitely book with Captain James again and highly recommend him!
I highly recommend Captain James and this charter. We were scheduled for a Deep Sea Fishing Experience, but the swells were too high, so we changed it to an InShore Fishing experience. 10/10 recommmend this charter because while safety was his first priority, fun and catchjng fish was a close second! Creating core memories one catch at a time!
