Half Day Trip (AM) on June 1, 20263 adults1 child

to start Capt. jordon was amazing at working with my family and I. to get us out on the water. we had to fight with some crazy weather. Once we got out he put us right on fish without any question knows what he's doing. on top of that the boat was the perfect set up. clean easy to move around no crazy bell and whistle crap. exactly what you would want to go out on. The conversation in between catches was great. Capt jordon is a super nice guy couldn't as for better. most definitely got our money's worth. I'll stick with him until he retires. and probably try to talk him into some runs after that. when it came to cleaning fish he was super fast didn't knock how I wanted them done made Shure we were all around taken care of. couldnt thank him enough.

3/4 Day Trip on April 11, 20264 adults

The captain was great. the fishing was amazing. he took us about 5 mi out early morning. took us to where most people were and we started fishing. we got hooked on pretty quickly. we had fun fighting all the fish so I would recommend cab to join it to anyone that's looking to catch anything that's coming up from the Gulf like Atlantic, Bonita, Spanish. any of those if you want to try them out for your first time

great trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 23, 20264 adults

Captain was cool. Only thing I wish we would’ve done differently was not troll so long. Would’ve love to cast our rods and enjoy some actions. Our target was Bonitos but didnt see anything. Caught lots of spanish and blues. Over all, it wad good. Next time for us, we want to be able to cast. So anyone looking, be sure to ask about bringing your own rods to be able to cast ask unless you just want to troll. also ask if captian has live scope. live scope wouldve been awesome.

had a good time with you guys, i think we caught probably 30 fish total berween spanish mackerel blue fush and false albacores. we cant make all the fish bite everyday! No fish were up on top thats why we didn’t cast on the trip and it was also pretty choppy out there and yall were having a tough time stamding up, so throwing jigs with trebble hooks on them was a little against the saftey precatuion on my end, sorry about that.
