We had an amazing fishing trip from start to finish! Before we even arrived, the captain called to let us know that the fishing conditions would be much better if we left earlier than originally planned. We really appreciated the proactive communication, it showed that he genuinely cared about giving everyone the best possible experience. The crew was outstanding, knowledgeable, patient, kind, thoughtful, and always willing to help. Whether someone was an experienced fisherman or trying it for the first time, they made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. The best part? Everyone on the boat caught fish! The crew worked hard all day to keep us on the fish and made the entire trip fun, exciting, and memorable. If you're looking for a professional charter with an exceptional captain and crew who truly care about their guests, this is the one to book. We had an unforgettable experience and can't wait to come back!
Thank you for the kind words Cindy. We always want everyone to have a great time, and take it very personally.
Captain Jon and First Mate Mike did an amazing job. The crew knew where to go and and used multiple techniques to get us on the fish. Whether you are a first timer or a seasoned fisherman, Mike tailored his instruction so you could hook up and land fish. The Lady Jo may be an older vessel, but she is kept clean and has an awesome layout to keep the whole party together and in on the action with an open air design from the cabin area to the fighting chairs on the fishing deck. Three generations of my family went out for my father's 75th birthday, and we had a great time that we will never forget. I'd definitely recommend the Lady Jo to anyone looking to book a charter fishing trip.
Thank you, Nick. It was great having your family aboard.
Went out on a Sunday morning for a five hour charter with Capt. Jon and 1st mate Mikey.. we had a blast! Mikey was very knowledgeable about fishing and all the odd questions that we asked him. we caught plenty of fish that were filleted for us at the end by Mikey. I will be calling Capt. Jon for another charter in the near future!!
Good people, great energy when heading out to the fishing spots, and were hands on when helping us get the fish we wanted. They went beyond what was asked of them to educate and answer our questions regarding micellaneous fishing topics and had a great amount of knowledge about the surrounding area and its history. Would reccommend to anybody who has fised already or has never even been on a boat, it doesn’t matter when you’re with this quality of a crew.
We can not say enough positive things about what a great experience we had on the Lady Jo. Captain Jon and First Mate Dean were extremely friendly and made us feel welcomed the minute we arrived. They quickly put us on the fish and all four of caught really nice Stripped Bass. It was a great day and we definitely be back. We highly recommend booking a charter with them.
Thank you, Mike. We really enjoyed the opportunity to take your family out fishing. Have a safe trip back to Alaska.
