Did a half day trip this morning with my 7 year old son.  Captain John had us on the fish all morning.  We had a great time.  Captain John was very knowledgeable about the entire area and what the fish were doing.  He was also great with my son.  I recommend Captain John to experienced anglers looking to hit the fish hard and to those less experienced or with kids who want to have fun and see some action.  - Ryan from Maryland

Despite some pretty rough wind, Captain John managed to put on trout and even the unexpected flounder. He was knowledgeable, good natured and gave my my son and his buddy some really good fishing tips. Bent Rod Charters is a class act.

Awesome trip. Caught snook, redfish and snapper. John had excellent live bait, and on a windy day that kept most other charter guys tied up at the dock, Capt. John had a plan on where to go and took me out. I really wanted to go. He is the kind of friendly guy you feel like you have known for a long time. And very passionate about what he does. He lives to fish! Highly recommend!

Even though it was a rough & windy day Captain John found us some great spots in the mangroves where we were away from wind and waves and on the fish! We had 12 year old Lilee with us and just wanted her to catch some fish. She skunked us all by getting first fish and most fish! Caught many species including Snapper, Ladyfish, Pinfish, Skipjack and nice sized Black Drum! We ended up with enough for fresh fish dinner for 4! Captain John knows the waters and is great with kids!

Our family of four had a great trip with captain John. We’ve been on many charters and this was by far the most fish we’ve caught. I think we counted 11 different species. Tons of fun. Would book again!
