Went out with John for a 3/4 day trip targeting Tarpon, Permit and Bonefish. Weather was beautiful but not the best conditions for sight-fighting and targeting these species. Regardless of the conditions, John was able to get me on the Tarpon and Bonefish; he has an incredible acumen for reading the tides, and finding the best areas for fishing success. In addition, John was a great instructor as well, constantly giving tips and instruction on when/where to cast to get the best chance at a strike.... More

We’ve done six or so charters out of key west over the past few years. This was far and away the best experience yet. The fishing was spectacular, which obviously helps. But, John was working hard from the moment the trip started to the very final minute. He was easy to chat with, gave us loads of information, took us from spot to spot targeting different species, and even took photos throughout the day which he later shared with us. If you are on the fence about fishing with John or doing a... More

Had a great trip on Sunday, May 18th. My goal was to catch a tarpon and a bonefish, and thanks to John, I accomplished both. Also, I caught the tarpon on a fly! John did a great job of putting me in position for success. He is not only a wealth of flats fishing knowledge, but educated me on the incredible ecosystem of the Keys. John is also very conservation oriented, which I highly respect. I recommend John and will definitely be fishing with him on our next Key West trip!

Captain John made a great day out of less than perfect conditions.  It was worth letting him assess the best options for what mother nature brought.  4 of 6 tarpon landed by lunch time. A handful of shark along the way while searching more opportunities.  And a couple chances at bone fish on the flats in the afternoon.  John is an ethical and knowledgeable Captain who you can trust to give you the best options for a great day.  We will fish again with him.

We booked a full day charter for my husband’s birthday trip. John offered to start our charter an hour earlier to get the most out of the day. We were trying for Bonefish, Tarpon, and Permit. Bonefish and Permit wanted to hide from us. Saw plenty of Tarpon though! Hooked onto one but it put up a big fight and broke the line. John had plenty of good spots and strategies, but the fish just didn’t want to cooperate. Not his fault. We did end up seeing a few turtles and 2 manatees. He’s very... More
