    Great Trip!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 3 children

    We took our 9 year old twins out with Jeff and we told him we wanted to make sure the boys were reeling in a lot. He took us to the first spot and they were catching snapper and grunt with every cast. Then we moved out to deeper water and started catching grouper, yellowtail, parrot fish and even trigger fish! He was so kind and great with our boys. They have not stopped talking about our trip, we are so grateful!!

    Fishing with Jeff

    Half Day Trip (AM)

    Jeff is an amazing fisherman, very knowledgeable, has a nice boat, and knows the best spots to fish. Treated my family with the upmost respect. We also caught this 50lb King fish which was crazy. I would highly recommend Nice Guy Charters. And Jeff is a ginger so that’s a bonus. Thanks Jeff

    Reported catch:

    The sharks were an awesome catch!!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 5 adults

    We started out at the reefs fishing for mangrove snapper and yellowtail snapper. We caught a few but it was kinda slow. Capt. Jeff suggested we make a move and go target sharks. What an awesome experience. We caught several Lemon Sharks in the 4-7’ range. It was a blast!!!

    Captain Jeff knew the perfect fishing spots. It was a great spot and we caught our first grouper in just two minutes. He kept his boat clean. Jeff was very pro-active in sharing his knowledge. Highly recommended.

    Unfortunately we had a weather front moving in on the day of our trip. Captain Jeff worked hard to find a wind-protected spot for us to fish. We caught fish, and the highlight was pulling in a hard-fighting barracuda.
