Went out with a group of friends on Screw loose fishing charters with Captain James Barker. As soon as we pulled up to the first spot, we drop our lines in the water and it didn't take long for me to get my first bite bringing up a solid 28 inch gag grouper, which is my biggest gag grouper to this day. After that, we started using live shrimn on the hattom catchina nlenty of han fish and finished our limit in an hour. Then Captain James took us to a wreck where we got to test our strength against amberjack. By the end of the day, we had plenty of fish To bring home to our families and we all had a blast. I would highly recommend going offshore on screw loose fishing charters, and I will be booking another trip soon.
This is my second trip out with Captain James and my buddy Stephan‘s first trip. It did not disappoint. We took a ride out to the middle grounds and every spot we hit was just loaded with red grouper, gag, grouper, American red snapper and tons of amberjack everywhere. We got to see bottlenose dolphins also chasing flying fish and some giant sea turtles. You never know what you’re going to catch out on the middle grounds and it did not disappoint. Captain James‘s boat is filled with top-notch gear and is a very attentive captain. The 31 foot Grady rides amazing in those rougher waters offshore. I highly recommend screw loose charters for your offshore adventure adventures!
both was great trips out
I had a great experience with James and his fishing charter! He’s a great guy who truly cares about making sure everyone has a good time. What really stands out is how patient and welcoming he is with kids — he makes the trip fun and memorable for the whole family. He’s knowledgeable, works hard to put you on fish, and offers a great experience without charging a fortune. If you’re looking for a fun, affordable fishing trip with someone who genuinely cares about his customers, I highly recommend giving James a try!
I am glad you had a great time and were able to catch some keepers. Hope to put you on the fish again.
Had an awesome fishing trip! The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone had a great time. We caught plenty of fish, the equipment was in great shape, and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun day on the water!
Can’t recommend captain james more! He knows his stuff, knows where the fish are most importantly and he is a great guy! Fun chill vibes on the boat makes it impossible to not have a good time! Limited out on grouper for the boat in a hour and caught a bunch of other fish as well! Quality gear and nice comfortable boat to get you way offshore! If you are looking for a good captain that will get you hooked up on the fish, then James is your guy!
had a great time with you on the boat
