Went fishing on Friday, April 28, 2017
I planned a get-away fishing/anniversary trip for my husband and me. I am a fishing novice and can’t cast a line worth a lick. Capt Jon was so helpful with my lack of technique and made me fell comfortable anyway. He knew just where to go and we caught our limit of speckled trout. He is friendly, helpful and really enjoys his job. We had a great time and we can’t wait to go again.

Solid trip with captain jon. Had a great time. He even stayed out a couple extra hours more than what we payed for as a courtesy to help us fill the fish limit. Highly recommend.
