Captain Jake has been fishing since he was in diapers. In 2018 he decided to start his own business with a partner. They bought a Skeeter because he spent his youth fishing on that type of the boat. He accommodates all kinds of customers, regardless of experience or skill as he loves to teach people how to fish. The most important thing is that everyone catches a lot of fish and has a good time.

    Best Fishing guide if you want to catch fish!!!

    6 Hour Offshore Trip • 6 adults • 2 children

    Just got off the boat with captain Jake and we couldn't be happier with our day on the water. We caught a variety of fish and everyone had to take a break from fishing because it was nonstop catching. . Within minutes of putting our lines in the water we had fish on. I have used this app to book several trips and this guide was the best by far. My husband and I took our two grandsons ages 10 and 12, our son-in-law. Family friendly, very clean and well maintained boat. Would definitely book with him again!!!!!!
