Background: Capt. John runs trips out of Placida aboard a 34’ SeaVee center console. These waters are known for Snappers and Groupers and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
Techniques: Top water, bottom fishing, flat lines, trolling and more!!

Captain Jelo is top notch and professional. He put us on some great fishing and took the time to educate us as we fished. His boat and gear was clean and in excellent condition. I HIGHLY recommend FGC OUTFITTERS.

Thank you Andrew! For the review!! It was a rough/tough day on the water all day!! But glad we were able to put some fish in the box. It was my pleasure to have met you and your Mother and shows what a great son you are to invite her to go when some of your friends canceled on you! We will do it again! And look forward to June for American Reds!! I promise you your Slow pitch will be busy!! Thanks again for choosing my Company to take you out offshore!
