Jameson SmithRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip despite the weather!
Beat the heat inshore-4 hour on July 30, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Jesse was an incredible captain! He picked my kids and me up from the dock at our condo on Lemon Bay. It was a rainy/stormy day, but Captain Jesse still put us on fish and kept us out of the storm. The kids caught plenty, and we put several fish in the cooler to eat for dinner. My kids and I enjoyed our fishing trip and highly recommend Gills and Thrills Charter! We would fish with him again if we're back in the area!
