    Best Fishing Trip Ever!

    KIDS Fishing – 2 HR - 11:30 AM • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Jayson went out of his way to make sure our fishing charter would be the best possible fit for our family; kids ages, what they would want to fish for, explained what time would be the best as far as heat and what would be biting when. He took his time explaining the different areas and what kind of fish we were catching and even snapped a few pics for us when i was wrapped up reeling in my own fish! I would HIGHLY recommend this fishing charter. Also, do yourself a favor and book the moat time you can afford. You’re not going to want to leave after the two hour “kids trip”. Especially if you have older kids. Thanks Captain Jayson! You ROCK!!

    Excellent Communication and Fishing

    KIDS Fishing – 3 HR - 11:00 AM • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captain Jayson is a complet pro, we took the 3 hour kids fishing trip and he had fish on the lines within 20 min of leaving the dock. We found some Grouper and Snapper and then some catfish for a good ending. We will be seeing him again soon, thank you!

    Fun and Friendly on Rough Waters

    KIDS Fishing – 3 HR - 11:00 AM • 3 adults • 1 child

    We booked our trip knowing the day call for high winds and would probably have rough water. Our Captain, Andy did a wonderful job making it an enjoyable trip. He made sure our 10 year old son was catching fish and that’s really mattered to us. The dolphin encounter made it even better. Would not hesitate to book again.

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout
