    amazing experience

    Shark / Tuna - Offshore • 6 adults

    Had an awesome time on the tuna and shark trip! The captain and mate were both really chill, friendly, and made the whole trip a lot of fun. We caught some great tuna and sharks, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Definitely recommend.

    Highly Recommend NightJack Sportfishing

    5 Hour Trip • 6 adults

    I highly recommend using NightJack Sportfishing if you are planning a fishing trip. Capt John and Ryan worked very hard to ensure we all had the best experience during our time with them. Besides working with every member of our group in fishing techniques, they also provided us information about each of the fish caught, and the area where we were boating! I just want to thank John and Ryan for a very memorable day!

    Response from Captain

    Thank You Paul! Great to have you guys out, awesome group! Thank you for the professionally done photos as well! John
