Absolutely the Best!
Captain John was awesome! He went above and beyond on our seashell/dolphin ride. He is super friendly, very experienced, and shared so much background information about the area. We will use Captain John from now on for all our boating excursions. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

This was our first chartered fishing trip in the SGI area. The entire family had a great time. Everything about the trip was great. We had two adults and two young teens, with varying amount of fishing experience. We will definitely be back next year!

Slow Bite / Poor Conditions
The weather and conditions weren't ideal, which had nothing to do with Captain JB, but he worked hard to move us to several locations so that we could put some fish in the cooler. This was our second year using Captain JB, if you are in the Apalachicola area, I highly recommend you book with him.

April 23rd Trip
We had the two grandkids with us so Captain John took us to a white trout hole and we proceeded to keep the.kids busy all working. Tried some redfish later but the tides worked against us. All that being said we had a great trip and will go back out next time we are down to St George Island. Captain has been in this area his entire life and is extremely knowledgeable.
