I flew my son from Ohio to Florida for a 13th birthday present. A weekend at the beach and a charter fishing trip. It was a chilly weekend for Florida, and a little windy, providing some choppy currents. Captain Juan knew where to go to get us on the fish and although not as much was biting as summer time, we still caught lots of fish! We are used to freshwater fishing and Captain Juan was able to teach us the ropes and new techniques of fishing in the big blue. My son learned a lot and we had a great time. We took our sheepshead and mangrove snapper to a restaurant to cook up for us and had more dinner than we could even finish! He was on time, professional, and was very experienced at doing this. Would highly recommend booking with Captain Juan! We will be back some time again. Hopefully in warmer weather. :)

We have two kiddos. One loves fishing, the other one dibbles and dabbles lol! Capt. Juan, was very patient with them. If one wanted to fish he would help/coach them. If one didn’t, he was cool with that too! The weather was super funky the day of our trip so we didn’t catch much. However, captain Juan invited us back for a make up session! We know he didn’t have to do that and are very grateful ☺️

Capt Juan Herndon, hosted me and my group of friends that came in from out of town for a fishing trip. The communication was great from the very beginning and he made sure to answer our questions and let us know everything we needed before we went out.
We met him at the marina on time and within 10 mins of heading out we already had our first fish in the boat. He kept us on top of fish for the entire half day trip and made the whole experience enjoyable by taking great care of us.
I’m already looking at the calendar to book our next trip and would highly encourage anyone who’s considering a great day of fishing on the bay to do the same. Capt Juan was simply awesome! Thank you!

I booked Juan for my son’s 16th birthday, and I must say Juan was amazing. We had a group of six, and everyone caught plenty of fish. My kids caught six fish each, just in a 2-hour trip. Juan was great and friendly, especially with my daughter helping her catch six fish. If you are looking to do a trip for your first time, I recommend Juan.

I texted Captain Juan regarding the type of fish we were hoping to catch prior to the excursion but never heard back from him regarding this topic.  He did tell us where to meet with him.
He did take us to spots where we caught fish, which were all varieties of snappers.  One spot was up against pilings next to a marina, which I thought was a bit strange.  It would have been nice if he had explained or outlined his itinerary at the start of the trip.  I would have liked it if he had asked us for feedback with his plan. 
Juan was very polite and made sure our hooks always had bait on.  He was very knowledgeable about the waters and his boat and equipment were in top condition
