Had a good time. Jack was knowledgeable and easy to work with. Although we started out trying for sea trout but no bites ( no problem that’s fishing) we did end the trip getting into a lot of snook which was great. Tough call but I gave 4 stars since although he did a great job, it was only a half day trip and we spent a half hour while he netted bait fish before we actually went fishing. With the quantity of bait caught vs what we used, I am guessing that there was enough for the afternoon trip so those people probably get a little more fishing. Overall, no complaints. Jack does a nice job

I came down from Wisconsin with no fishing experience on the gulf. Captain Jack showed us all the techniques and explained the locations we were fishing. He put us on fish and we caught fish, captain Jack is the best guide I have ever fished, and if I come down next winter, 100% chance he would be the charter I will go out with.
Our originally planned trip with our usual Captain had to be cancelled due to his being taken ill. We were fortunate that Captain Jack could squeeze us in for a Morning fishing trip. I am a local and my son-in-law had come all the way from Idaho so I was scrambling to keep the day fishing trip for him. Captain Jack was great in accommodating our needs and the trip and he were just great. As a bonus…the fishing he put us into was even better! Had great luck with Snook and Gag Grouper, even catching a 35” Snook. All around a very positive experience and I/we look forward to fishing with Captain Jack again.

My wife, two boys, 10 and 15, met Jack who had finalized the details and meeting time the day before. He had asked us what we were interested in targeting and shared what would likely be biting best this time of year, Snook and Mangrove Snapper. We headed out and once we arrived at the first location, we had our first Snook in the boat within moments, 34 in, 17 lbs. According to Jack this is larger than average and said it was a very nice fish for my 15 year old to land. My 10 year old then caught a 25 in Snook.
During that time we had some unexpected visitors…several dolphin decided to get in on the fishing! While not good for fishing what an awesome up close experience none of us will ever forgot, they were within inches of the side of the boat.
We then moved on as my 10 year old wanted to try some shark fishing. We chummed but never caught anything than a bothersome duck! We ended our day fishing for Snapper, which we caught enough to eat for dinner at a local restaurant Jack recommended. He prepared the fish and put them in a bag with some ice. What a great day, would highly recommend. He was patient and willing to do whatever he could do to make the trip positive.

Jack was great! Me and my Best friend talked about how he was chill and we liked it…. We didn’t feel we had to keep a conversation going. He just let it be natural and it made it the experience we were looking for. Just out in the sun relaxing and fishing. We ended up getting a 7 foot maybe larger nurse shark… It was not easy either. He kept snatching our bait but we ended up winning in the end. Jack cut and changed the size of the bait so it was easier to set the hook after he Bit it and boom! We landed him! 100% would recommend to anyone interested! When I come back down I will be texting Jack so we can do it again. Great chill guy who knew where to go. Was a truly great experience… My roommate and other guy on the Boat with us totally agrees. THANKS JACK!
