My son and I have never been fishing other than lakes or ponds. This was a great first time experience. James walked us through the day, talked about what kind of fish we would most likely be catching. It took me a while to get use to this style of fishing. James showed us what the different bite styles would feel like for the fish we were catching. I should have warned him sometimes we are betting at feeding the fish than catching.

Overall it was a great experience. Couldnt ask for better weather, great conversation, and fun fishing.

6 hours was probably just the right amount of time for my 11 year old son. Any less I think he qoukd have been frustrated as to not being able to fish as much, anymore probably would have got tired and aggitated if nothing was biting.

Thank you James for the experience. Until next time!

Just got back from an awesome half-day trip with Captain James Sousa-seriously, what a great guy! The guy knows these waters like the back of his hand; he had us on fish before I even finished my coffee. We pulled in lots of fish; it had me grinning like an idiot. Super chill vibe too, no pressure, just good stories and solid tips. If you’re looking for real local know-how and a haul that’ll make your buddies jealous, book with James. Five stars, easy.

My son and I have booked several epics trip with Captain James. He’s an experienced captain, extremely knowledgeable about the local fisheries, water conditions and all species of fish that we’ve caught on our trips. On our way out he always points out several landmarks of interest and things to do in the area on and off the water.  We always have a blast learning about and catching fish in this region. As abbot anglers, my son and I have fishing experience, but his knowledge shared with us about catching fish here in the Panhandle not only increased our catches but also ensured there was plenty of action on the rods!  Not to mention another nice comfort is that his vessel is equipped with all required Coast Guard safety equipment, and his navigation skills are awesome.  All we can say… is book one trip with Captain James and you’ll see for yourself just why he comes highly recommended by other captains and customers alike. Thanks again Captain James!  My son and I are looking forward to our nest trip with you for the tiebreaker on Angeleyes!  I think my fish was bigger!

James did a great job keeping the action moving as the weather was cold and windy. James was great to work with helped to make it a great day. Would recommend.

We even got to see a couple of dolphins up close.
