Great Fishing Trip…Highly Recommend
3hr Trip on July 5, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child
Captain Jonathan did an outstanding job putting us on fish! He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, worked hard to keep us on the action, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. The highlight of the day was watching my son catch his very first shark—he was absolutely pumped! His mom wasn’t quite as thrilled… 😂 If you’re looking for a captain who knows where the fish are and works hard to make sure everyone has a great experience, I highly recommend Captain Jonathan!

Wanna catch fish - Call Captain Fitz!
3hr Trip - 4:00 PM on April 4, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child
Captain Fitz gave us an outstanding experience from start to finish. He worked incredibly hard to put us on fish and never let up, constantly adjusting and doing whatever it took to give us the best shot at success. We caught some really nice Redfish!! What really stood out, though, was his character—he genuinely cared about our experience. He even let us fish longer than our scheduled trip just to make sure we had every opportunity to enjoy the day and make some great memories. You can tell he’s not just running charters—he takes pride in what he does and goes above and beyond for his clients. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly invested in making your trip special, Captain Fitz is your guy. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again.

Amazing fishing trip!
3hr Trip - 9:00 AM on April 3, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child
We had an amazing fishing trip with Jonathan! My family and I went out with him on a three-hour trip. He knew right where to go and we caught our first of twelve big fish within minutes. Jonathan proved to be a skilled fisherman who was able to find the fish when they moved, plus handle the lines when we caught multiple fish at once. He was very personable and did a great job helping the kids reel in the big fish. It was a great experience and we hope to do another one the next time we are in the area.

great trip
4 Hour Trip (PM) on April 10, 2026 • 2 adults
jonathan was great we asked to go big fish hunting he explained we could catch loads of small ones but the big ones maybe more risky. we had bad luck with the fish not biting but jonathan kept moving us around in search of the big ones. finally at the end of the day we caught 2 big Red fish and jonathan kept us out past our allocated time explaining we werent leaving until we caught our fish. my boy absolutely lived it. thatnk you jonathan.
