    Great Fishing Adventure With Captain John

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    Great time fishing with Captain John Reid. We caught a lot of fish, brought home some Red Snapper and trout. Also caught a huge Grouper. Great fun and a surprise birthday with Locked In Fishing Charters.

    Outstanding Trip!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults

    Captain John was awesome. We had a great trip and caught all kinds of fish, snook, trout, ladyfish, and even a shark. He knew exactly where to go and kept us on fish the whole time. Super easygoing guy and made the trip a good time all around. Definitely a 10/10 trip and I’d recommend him to anybody looking to get out and catch fish.

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Speckled Trout
    Blacktip Shark

    Great time

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults

    Capt. John did an excellent job making us feel comfortable and confident that we were going to have a great fishing experience, and we did! He took the time to teach a beginner in our party how to fish and he subsequently caught a bunch of fish. Capt John’s demeanor and skills worked extremely well with our group. His boat and equipment were top notched. I highly recommend Capt. John.

    Reported catch:

    Captain John was terrific! Super helpful with girls while we caught trout and reds . Found places when fishing was light to make sure we found them. Great knowledge of the right places to go.

    Great Trip

    Half day trip • 2 adults

    My wife and I love to fish and Capt. Reid helped fulfill that passion. He had to work hard but his knowledge of the area and what fish were moving was evident. He put us on some nice snooke and red fish. He was punctual and has the right set up, boat,gear etc. We would definitely go again.

    Three of us went out and all of us caught fish. We kept seven legal sea trout, then we hooked into a 5 foot black tip shark and all three of us had a turn reeling it in to the boat. It was really cool.

    We had a fantastic experience with Captain John! He took my two oldest sons and my husband fishing, and they absolutely loved it. They caught plenty of fish and even brought home dinner! Everyone had an amazing time. We highly recommend Captain John and plan to book him again next year if he’s available. Thank you!

    We came at a bad time of month where its hot and hard to get the fish to bite. But he was able to get us all on fish.
