3/4 day with Capt Jesse

This was our first deep sea fishing trip and it was great from start to finish. Capt. Jesse and his crew took great care of us and we will book him again!

I would highly recommend Jessie and Alex for a fishing trip. Great guys that know what there doing. Our trip was rough waters but we caught fish anyway. If we would have booked with another boat we would’ve never went out with the rough waters. These guys know there shit. So book with Jessie and Alex if you want the best chance to catch fish in any conditions. Awesome trip
