4 Hour Trip (PM) (4 anglers max) on February 21, 2026 • 4 adults

Before the trip even began, captain Jason had great communication. From the booking confirmation to the dock, he was responsive and informative. Our guide was like family to captain Jason and like an uncle to us. He took care of every person on the boat, was patient and interactive with the teens I had with me, and tried hard to help us limit out. The boys fished to the point of exhaustion, while our captain was still trying to get us the last two fish we needed to reach limit.

    I booked an afternoon inshore fishing trip with my 13-year-old son. It was extremely windy, but Jason took us to some calm, protected water and we caught 3 red fish, 1 black drum, and 1 catfish. One of the red fish was enormous. We would definitely book Jason again.

    My 13 y/o son and I had a great time fishing with captain Jason. He worked hard to make sure we caught fish and had a great time. We didn’t dress appropriately so we were cold (only when the boat was moving) so make sure to dress appropriately…but still a good charter and would recommend.
