We had never been on a charter trip. We were unsure of the results and how the experience would be. Captain Jake did an amazing job….....he found our fish, we limited out on Snapper pretty quickly. Then we trolled for mackerel and caught a bunch of those. Catching the fish was awesome, but all the intangibles that captain Jake brings to the table is what sets him and our experience today apart. We were unable to ask him a question he didn’t have an answer for. He was patient with us. We had a couple younger boys with us and he was excellent with them. Our boys said they’d only go on another charter if we could have the same captain. Captain Jake is a great captain and we feel like we wouldn’t have had such a great day without him. Thanks captain Jake!!  We’ve already recommended him to our friends.

The Captain had a plan to put us on some fish, but the rain the night before had apparently changed the conditions and we didn’t see much action. We tried several techniques, but just couldn’t get the fish to bite.

Captain Jake was a pleasure to fish with. He is knowledgeable about the waters, and kept us fishing with fresh bait the whole time. Never complained about anything. He is a true outdoorsman and I would definitely fish with him again.

The boat was relatively clean and in good condition. The rod and reel setups were not the best, but functional.

Overall, we enjoyed our time on the water and recommend this charter.

I changed my trip to a day earlier being Alabama red snapper season was closing early on July 3. There were no issues in rescheduling to an afternoon 5 hour offshore trip. On the day of the trip, Captain Powers called and asked if I wanted to come earlier being there was a cancellation.

We left the dock with Captain Jake at 11 instead of 1. It took about an hour to get out of the inland and to a fishing spot about 7 miles offshore. We fished a little less than 2 hours and had our limit of 8 red snapper being we had 4 people.

After catching snapper, we started to troll for mackerel. Around 20 minutes and we caught 1. After that, I decided to go ahead and head in early being I was pleased with catching our limit.

I’ve went on Charter trips and paid $1200 to go 30 miles offshore. This was half of that cost with no where near as much boat riding and I caught an even bigger snapper than I did on those trips. Only issue with a trip like this is no bathroom on the boat but when it only takes two hours to catch your limit, it doesn’t even matter.

I highly recommend this trip and Captain Jake did a fantastic job and made the experience great.

Capt Jake was awesome, explained everything up front as far as what we were targeting this day and handling of fish.  Worked his butt off as we were fishing. We limited out on Mackeral within a couple hours.  Great experience as first timers fishing in the ocean.  Gonna have plenty of smoked Mackeral dip
