We went on the Canyon Trip with Captain Mark and Mike and cannot give them enough praise. Captain was available to chat the entire time leading up to the trip and helped set us up to be flexible so we could capitalize on the best weather. We’re happy he did because we ended up going out a day earlier than expected and it was the best possible choice. The boat is set up like a champion, enough space for the four of us to lay down although we caught enough fish that sleeping was the least of our worries. We were in the ocean in no time and starting catching Yellowfin immediately while trolling. We later hit the canyons to chunk and caught more Yellowfin, Mahi, and even a Hammerhead that was released while still in the water. A couple hours of shut eye were needed since the Yellowfin and Mahi were back again at 6 am. Aside from the fishing, Captain Mark and his first mate Mike made the trip. They knew their stuff, worked their butts off, and made sure to include us in any decision on what to do next. Most importantly, they were great guys who were easy to get along with and we were laughing and having a great time the entire trip. I could go on and on but this was everything we could’ve asked for. This was our first time on the Jessie James but won’t be our last!

I had purchased this trip as a Christmas gift for my partner as he loves fishing but didn’t have a lot of experience with saltwater. Even though it was cloudy and drizzling the whole day, we had a blast with Mark, Mike, Ken, and everyone else on board. Everyone wanted to make sure we had something to take home for dinner and we landed on a great spot at the very end of the trip catching two good sized fish we throughly enjoyed for dinner the next night. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer group of people to spend the day with—very attentive, kind, and hysterical to boot.

We will look to visit again in the future! Thanks again for a memorable day on the boat.

Amazing Striper trip!  Pleasant and knowledgeable captain.  Hard working deck hand Mike. Caught all big keepers!  Thank you both for the amazing trip we’ll never forget.  Excited to try for flounder next summer.

Great trip!! Capt. Mark and his mate were the best.

A few keepers but good fishing overall.
