Tampa, FL, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedHad a blast!
6 Hour Trip AM on April 4, 2026 • 2 adultsGreat captain! We caught cobia, spanish mackeral, and about an 8 ft hammerhead! It was awesome. We lived here most of our life…never caught cobia. The fishing gods were with us but I feel like captain had a ton to do with that.

4 Hour AM Trip on June 26, 2025 • 3 adultsWe went on a 4 hour morning trip. Captain Jacob got out to the fishing grounds quickly and we were immediately on fish. We weren’t fishing for anything specific but got into a bunch of sharks. We caught hammerhead, lemon sharks, black fin sharks, and nurse sharks. Captain Jacob was very knowledgeable and friendly. He worked hard to keep us on the fish. I highly recommend Captain Jacob to anybody looking for a good trip. I will definitely be coming back for future trips.
