Amazing trip
4 Hour Seasonal Trip on August 19, 2026 • 2 adults
Jon was a great captain. very knformation, bantered well with both myself and my daughter, and was pleasant. When we did get in the fish, he was helpful and instructive. We managed to catch a 36 inch and citation worthy 50 inch Red Drums, and Jon followed up with how to record that catch. He also participates in the tagging program for Virginia fisheries, which i thinknis admirable. Inwould absolutely book again

4 Hour Last Light Trophy Red Drum on August 12, 2026 • 2 adults
Captain Jon was great. I caught 7 red drum (landed 6). Smallest was 33”, 4 between 35-37” and one citation 47”. Other highlight was a very large pod of dolphins and a great sunset. I highly Salty Hooker for a fantastic fishing trip.

Thanks Bob! I had an awesome time as well and will be talking about that trip with customers for a long time… My buddies that were up there ended up landing six as well… he told me at the dock that night that he ran out of bait. That’s why he left before we did.👍🏻
