Background
What’s up, y’all? I’m Captain James Craddock, but you’re more than welcome to call me Jamesey Boy or just James. I would love for you to join me for a day on the water Fishing, Sightseeing, Dolphin watching, and more. I am a true native of the area, with 7+ generations of commercial fishing experience and being the fourth-generation captain/guide. I grew up on the water fishing pound nets and crab pots with my dad and even spent a summer on the trawl boat shrimping with my grandfather. All that to say, I love spending the day in the sun, especially on the water around my home. Safety and smiles are the most important things with me on the water.
