This was a truly amazing experience for our three boys age 7, 9 and 15 and for us parents as well. Greg was the pefect captain. Very polite, great with the kids, helpful and very very knowledgeable. the boat was clean and comfortable. We caught about 20 fish including trout, catfish, mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, snook, ladyfish, stingray, redfish, jack crevalle and a couple of other fish we can’t remember what were called. The boat 20 metres away caught nothing, while we reeled in fish after fish!!! I highly recommend Captain Greg for anyone that wants to catch fish and have a great and memorable time.
I'm just seeing this now. thank you so much for the kind words
We caught Sheeps head, Blue runners, small snappers, and grunts. It was a fun day on the water! Can't really go too far for a 4 hour charter. The captain was knowledgeable and friendly. We fished 3 locations. We caught several keeper sized sheeps head at the first location. After catching allot of small (very) snapper and blue runners at the second location, I requested a location change. The captain was responsive and that is when we caught several keeper sized grunt at the third location. The fish broker site indicates that pickup fees are included. Those only pertain to the Captain's fees, as the Marina (Jensens) charge a additional $50 pickup fee that you have to pay.
i fixed the (fee) thing on fishing booker
We had such a wonderful experience with Captain Greg. He was very patient and kind working with our kids and also had fun with everyone. Overall such a great morning!!!
thank you so much you guys. I'm glad you all enjoyed your time out there this morning
I would highly recommend Greg - we brought 4 of our kids (13-19) - he was patient and found a couple great spots. Caught 11 fish, one was a small shark! Also, had a dolphin try to steal one of our catches in mid-air… a memory we will never forget!! Greg cleaned up what we caught and the family got to enjoy a wonderful lunch.
that dolphin launching for the fish was petty cool. I'm glad you all had a good time out there and i hope you enjoyed the fish to eat
a great captain on an awesome boat. not only did we catch dinner, we saw manatees, dolphins and about every bird around these islands.
im glad we were able to round up dinner for you. thanks a bunch you guys
