Our first trolling trip didn’t produce due to weather, and our kids (5 to 9 yo) found the trolling style a bit slow for them. Capt. Jeff went above and beyond to make it right by offering a well‑discounted follow‑up inshore bottom‑fishing trip, which was a much better fit for the family. He was honest about expectations, gave us the best shot, and we caught 11 fish in two hours. The kids loved it. How a captain handles a tough day says everything, and Capt. Jeff handled it with integrity and care. We would book again the next time we are in PCB.
Nothing is better than being on a boat relaxing along with fishing. Sometimes the fish bite and sometimes they don’t. We were blessed with a great captain and co captain! (Jeff and Jason) They adjusted the day with what was happening in the ocean so we were successful! We ended the day catching bonnett hammerhead sharks and my kids loved it! We did a three hour tour and was worth every bit of it!
Hands down couldn't get any better, The Captain and his crew knew exactly what they were doing, put us on more fish than we could catch. Plus my girlfriend call a 22-in Spanish mackerel her first time off shore. Family-orientedabd just a really good crew. I'm 42 years old, and this is the best fishing trip I've ever been on!
it was an absolute pleasure having you all fish with us. We had as much fun as you did! looking forward to doing it again Friday! Capt Jeff
Fishing conditions wasn't the best. Really windy. But the captain kept the boat moving around searching for fish. Captain and mate did a great job in the conditions we was in. My son had a great time fishing and the whole family had a great experience. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting to take a family fishing trip.
We loved having you all on board. looking forward to next time! Capt Jeff
Capt. Jeff and Brad made what should’ve been a tough day of fishing one of the better if not best charters we have been on. These guys don’t have no quit in them, never been on a charter where a crew works as hard to put you in a position to be successful. Extremely knowledgeable and all around good guys.
