Where to start? If you want to fish and want to go with a knowledgeable guide that knows a lot, go with Captain Jon Mahan. He is one of those guys that just has a feel for finding fish and finding them quick.

We got to our first spot of the day and right off the bat we were hammering reds and black drums and ended up with our two man limit in 90 minutes. It was a blast and impressive overall!

The rest of the day Captain Jon threw the kitchen sink at trying to find some trout but we came up with only one keeper after they were bare my biting. That’s what they call it fishing. Captain went all over the place to the try to land us in some trout but it wasn’t in the cards that day.

As for the equipment and the boat, Captain Jon only uses the best and it shows. The boat was beyond comfortable, even in some very rough water in the middle of the day, with plenty of room to maneuver and cast from almost anywhere. Rods and reels were primo.

Overall amazing time on the water. Already planning a return trip back with Captain Jon next summer and fall.

Jon was great to work with.  We were originally scheduled to have a Friday trip with him, but with the storm coming in we decided to see if we could do an afternoon trip a day earlier.  Luckily, Jon wasn’t booked and was glad to reschedule.  Things were a little slow getting set up due to him arriving later than he would have liked.  However, he got us on the fish.  Even when another boat should have spooked off the fish, he persisted and we all limited and even got a bonus oversized red.  All in all, it was a good trip.  Thanks for a great time, Jon!

Captain Jon is the truth when it comes to finding fish. The day started at 6:30am and by 10am we had our limit of black drum and 1 red. The next two spots we limited out on Reds. Then he took us to another spot for mangrove snapper. I would tell you his secret but why spoil it 🤫.  Epic day to say the least. We will bend rods again real soon 🎣🎣🎣. Letsgo2work

Capt Jon has to be one of the best Captains out here.  Despite choppy seas and lack of early bite he perservered and we got our trout limit.  Plus some Reds on a day when most got very little.  He came through on all the promised details from being there early with bait to having first rate boat and gear to cleaning our fish.  Hes obviously a consumate professional and we felt very confident in his abilities.  Helped us catch many fish that we could have lost.  Definitely recommend this boat and Captain.

We started off with a slow bite that had us all concerned, but Captain Jon remained positive and used his knowledge of the local waters. Concerned we might not reach a limit, he even asked if we were ok with fishing a little longer than the 1/2 day we had purchased (he had no afternoon trip scheduled).  It wound up not being necessary as the captain got us in the right spot to polish off a limit of drum plus add a redfish and trout to end our trip.
The boat and all other equipment was top quality and Captain Jon took pride in keeping the ride dry and smooth even with the southeast wind honking all day.
We had a great time and will eat well too.
