Capt. John runs trips out of Jupiter aboard a 23' Mako center console. These waters are known for Redfish and Snook and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With 10 years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Great captain!!!

    Half Day Trip2 adults

    What a great day to share with friends and family. Captain John was on time and waiting for us at the dock with a clean boat and fishing gear, that was in great working . We caught blue runners, red snapper Jack Cavalli and three BIG snook. We were even lucky enough to catch a slot snook and enjoyed it for dinner. Trip started off a little on a slow side Captain John responded well - he picked other areas to fish and caught fresh sardines, so we can entice the snook and it worked to perfection. I’m sure there’s a lot of good captains in the area. Captain John is the best.

    Amazing trip with Captain John!

    Half Day Trip4 adults1 child

    My girls and I had the greatest time with Captain John! He is extremely knowledgeable and it was obvious that the most important thing to him was to make sure we had a great time. Captain John is very personable and engaging with his passengers and was spot on with his fishing spots. He took us to several locations and had my girls catching fishes simultaneously within minutes of arriving. The trip was even more fun than we could have anticipated and I definitely would recommend anyone to Captain John.

    We had a great time on our fishing trip. We were novices, but Captain John made us feel welcome, and made sure we had the right spots to catch lots of mangrove snapper for our dinner tonight. We’ll definitely go out with him again the next time we go fishing.

    THE Jupiter trip

    Half Day Trip - 3:00 PM4 adults

    John was a class act. Myself, my buddy and both our girlfriends enjoyed excellent fishing, breathtaking views, and one hell of a captian. John is a one man army. Hes the captain and the first mate. every single one of us caught fish. John expertly filleted the fish and we got to being home a tasty dinner. He was all parts captain and part time tour guide. John recommanded some great local spots around town. Next time im in Jupiter I will be fishing on John’s boat!

    Reported catch:

    Amazing trip

    Half Day Trip4 adults2 children

    We had so much fun with Captain John. He knew all of the hotspots. My children caught over 30 fish total and they were ecstatic. My son caught two bonefish, which is apparently pretty rare.He was great with the kids and helped create memories for a lifetime. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Look for Mangrove Snapper as they spawn on the reefs and wrecks. Make sure to check out the 'Chasin Tails' annual KDW Sports Fishing Tournament and raise money for poorly kids while catching fish.
