    Fantastic fishing trip!

    6 Hour Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    All in all, the entire trip was 10 out of 10. Captain Jerrod was great and very knowledgeable. He put us on fish right away. We caught several different species of fish, many of which we kept which he also filleted and cleaned for us. The kids had an amazing experience, it was a highlight of the trip to Florida. We highly recommend Captain Jerrod for any fishing adventures.

    We booked last minute and Jarrod was quick to get back to us with all of the trip details. We had so much fun on the water, fish at every stop. With 2 adults and 3 crazy kids (6,8 and 12) we can be a ball of chaos. Jarrod handled the kids with ease and over delivered on all fronts. He’s an amazing guide and even better person. We had such a great time and made memories that our family will remember forever. We will definitely be back in the future! Thanks for a great trip!
