    Finomenal Adventure Charters Is Phenomenal!!

    Saint Johns River 2 Person Crappie • 2 adults

    Took a trip with Captain Burke and had terrific action from start to finish. You won’t find a more courteous and professional guide. Communication before, during, and after our trip was fantastic and it went way beyond “fishing talk”. Captain Burke was willing to go above and beyond to see that we had truly memorable morning in beautiful natural surroundings away from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks. I wouldn’t hesitate to fish again, and again, and again aboard this fine Veteran owned vessel.

    Quality Time

    Saint Johns River 3 Person Panfish • 3 adults

    Spent yesterday on a 4-hour fishing trip on the St Johns River with my Grandson and Son in Law guided by James Burke. We had a great time and caught several different kinds of fish. One was a 3.5 lb tilapia. James was a blast and knows the river like the back of his hand. We will book with James again in the future. Quality time.

    Reported catch:
    Largemouth Bass
    Catfish
    Response from Captain

    Thanks Michael for allowing me to serve you, and make a memorable experience for you, Larry, and brac, it was fun when we hit those Tilapia beds. Larry started out slow but finished well 😆 I definitely look forward in next year.
