We did a 3 hour morning trip with Jonathan.  We were in Destin just after Christmas and it was fairly cold and there was no bait in the bay so we went into the gulf about a mile to try our luck.  I believe the previous day yielded some vermillion snapper so that is what we started to fish for.  After several small ruby red lips Jonathan shifted our bait to target something we could eat.  We ended up catching 16 flounder.  Jonathan did well in challenging conditions and with several kids on board.  We had enough to eat for several days and they were delicious.  Would definitely book again.

Had a great time with myself, wife and our 3 sons ages 7, 9, and 12. We got right out to our fishing spot and the captain kept all our lines baited constantly despite us all pulling up fish continually; (Along with him taking all the fish we caught off the hook). Caught Trigger fish, red vermilion, sand perch, and some others. The captain also gave us great advice in order to boat more fish. He filleted our keep back at the dock and even got us ice to put the fish on (we brought a small soft cooler with some snacks and drinks that worked great to take the fish home in).

Jonathan was very patient.
My husband has never deep sea fished before. He showed him the tricks. Example telling him to reel with your non dominant hand. Because your dominant arm you need to for holding the pole.
Boat was nice and clean. Had 4 regular poles. 1 for the big guys.
We caught a couple of Remora, Snappers, TriggerFish, RedFish, and a few more.
My husband got plenty of pictures of the bigger fish he caught. I wish I could have gotten some picture of the fish we did not keep. We are in the Gulf and the fish here are really beautiful. You don’t see these in Oklahoma🤣. That would be one downfall and That I wasn’t able to get any big fish, which that happens. Also that he smoked without asking. My husband and I do not like smoking. There was a few times it did hit my in the face. But he did stay in the wind were it was hitting us most of the time. So it didn’t bother me as much. But still would have been nice to ask. To be able to stay more out of the way.
My husband only got the pole to catch bigger fish on.
But that’s okay. I have been deep sea fishing for sharks. So this catching the smaller beautiful fish was just fine.
Thank you Jonathan for teaching us and letting us touch the Remora🤣, it was for sure educational and fun at the same time. Very laid back environment.
Would recommend again.

Jonathan put us on the fish on a less than desirable weather day.  The wind was blowing 15-20 out of the southeast which limited the areas we could fish.  Despite the conditions, we caught nice redfish and as a bonus speckled trout.  Jonathan obviously knows the area and where to go to put you on the fish!
