    Caught A LOT of fish!

    3 Hour Trip (PM) β€’ 2 adults

    I definately didn’t believe we’d catch as many fish as our guide said we would but dang we caught a lot of fish! Everything from largemouth, peacock, dogfish and more! Our guide was very friendly from the beginning of the trip to the end. Taught us all about the different fish and the area we were fishing, even saw a few gators! His boat was very nice and comfortable and suitable for all ages! Only thing I regret is not booking a longer trip!

    Reported catch:
    Largemouth Bass
    Peacock Bass

    3 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM β€’ 3 adults β€’ 1 child

    We had the BEST fishing trip today with Captain JP! He was absolutely excellent, so patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we caught fish. My son is five, and Captain JP was incredible with him. He made the experience fun, exciting, and easy to understand, which meant everything to us. We caught a huge bass and released her because she was pregnant, which was such a cool learning moment for my son. Captain JP really knows the water and went above and beyond, he even kept us out longer than scheduled just to make sure we had an amazing experience. We had such a great time and are 100% rebooking with him. Highly, highly recommend!

    My fiancΓ© and I every minute with Captain JP McKay. He’s very knowledgeable of the area and takes his charters very seriously. His goal is for you to catch the most fish as you can and very attentive to everyone on board. He helped my fiancΓ© catch her first ever largemouth. Overall amazing guide and we enjoyed our trip.

    Fantastic Trip!

    Half Day Trip β€’ 2 adults

    JP, our guide, was phenomenal. He kept us updated a week prior and responded to all of my questions immediately. We caught so many amazing fish. He even kept us out longer than our scheduled time. We caught a variety of species of fish. Gigantic large mouth bass and Peacock bass. If you come to Del Ray and want a day of great fishing, JP is the man you want. I will be using him every time I come to Florida moving forward. Can’t wait for my next trip with him.
