We arrived and Captain Jim was ready. Not only was the boat a great fishing boat, we really enjoyed one another's company. Not only does Captain Jim know where the fish are, it seems he can think like a fish. "If I were a snook, where would I be?" In one case, one of us hooked a fish that was totally too big for the fisherman and the fish won. We WILL totally do this again, and again, and again, you get the idea. If you haven't tried Captain Jim, I would suggest you book NOW before everybody knows what I know. Darren
My son and I had an awesome fishing trip! Captain Jim was super knowledgeable and put us right on the fish. We caught a ton, including a massive Jack Crevalle and a Black Drum, which were the highlight of the trip. Highly recommended!
Captain Jim worked his tail off to put us on the fish. He has a great personality for the job. We had a ball and will be booking him again. I would highly recommend him for a great fishing experience!!!
Went out to the 10,000 islands with Captain Jim on a Father-Daughter fishing trip. Learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Right away got us on the fish and improving our fishing techniques. Jim is extremely knowledgeable In the area, can’t wait to book with him again to go after Monster Snook! Afterwards took the fish to the Snook Inn and had some amazing fish tacos (4).
Captain Jim made sure we both caught fish and taught tip and tricks for the future. It was an amazing time. And he made sure we stayed safe as the weather changed.
