  Unforgettable Family Experience

  Half Day Trip on August 14, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

  Captain Johnny Barlow and First Mate Ben Green were absolutely incredible. We booked our trip on a whim as a first charter fishing experience for my wife and kids and we couldnt have had a better experience. These guys were great with our kids, extremely professional, fun and obviously masters of their craft. Our first experience doing this as a family just turned into what will be an annual vacation tradition and booking again next year with Showtime and Captain Johnny! Thanks again for a great day on the water!

  Great day on the water!

  Half Day Trip - 11:30 AM on July 16, 2026 • 5 adults

  Captain Johnny Barlow was great. He and his first mate made us feel welcome from the beginning. They did everything to help us have a good day. The smoke from the Canadian wild fires made visibility difficult but they kept searching for spots that allowed us to catch fish. We caught 9 on a maximum of 10 for our group. We had 2 others on the line but they got away. We could have had our maximum. All but one was caught in the last 2 hours of our 4 hour charter. A testament to their determination and knowledge of how to get success for us when others would have given up. The boat and gear were great and they kept the conversation lively. I completely recommend this fishing charter!

  August fishing trip

  Half Day Trip - 11:30 AM on August 24, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

  My family and I really enjoyed ourselves. The captain and crew were excellent. The captain gave my son a lifetime memory by allowing him to steer the boat. It was windy which affected our experience, but we caught a few and didn’t leave empty handed. So, I give a 10. Thx Captain Jonny, like I said Ill be back.

  Great Trip

  Half Day Trip - 11:30 AM on August 15, 2026 • 4 adults

  We had a great trip with Cpt Johnny. He’s knowledgeable, easy going, and has a nice boat and equipment. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an enjoyable fishing experience. We learned too late that bananas are bad luck on a fishing boat (see my friend’s shirt), but we were still successful!
