Book Capt Jamie if you want to catch monsters….

We had a wonderful 6 hour trip with Capt Jamie - a VALUE for the trip. We started a little slow, but he helped navigate us to better waters and we immediately started catching 30+ inches that FOUGHT. We ended up catching our limits on reds and he cleaned them up perfectly. He was enthusiastic, fun, and great with my son. I would highly recommend him and well use him again!

Captain Hoover is a top guide and a top notch person. He was dialed in on the fish. We caught numbers and quality! 2 out of the 3 fisherman caught new personal best- one trout and one redfish. I personally have been with quite a few guides and Captain Hoover is the best that I’ve fished with.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (Night)

Best fishing day EVER!!

Captain Jamie is not only the best character captain, he is also the most experienced fisherman. His knowledge and enthusiasm put my family and I on top of the ultimate fishing spot. In total, our group of 4 caught 17 big red drums! Each cast lead to a bull and Captain Jamie cheered us on the entire time. Our 11 year old daughter caught four 29 inch plus red drums! Book with Captain Jamie, he will make all your fishing adventures come true!
