Fishing conditions were not ideal but Jon Paul was still able to put us on the fish!! Good quality Snook, grouper, reds, jacks, snapper and sharks! Left the dock early, came back late, 100% effort, and all of our targeted species in the boat. What else can you ask for? Even Got a spotless redfish, only spotless red fish in my life! Boat was smooth and dry in chop high quality st croix rods and gear in good condition. It was a pleasure to fish with Jon Paul, good conversations and knowledgeable on the area and ecosystem.

Had so much fun with him! He has such a great attitude, hard worker, and truly cares about your experience. He knows the terrain very well, and put us on just about everything we asked for. We caught tarpon, permit, snapper, snook, and a jack. Also, we caught a couple of sharks that we didnโt even ask for. It was so much fun, and I highly recommend him!
Spent 6 hours fishing with Captain John. It was a super windy day which made fly casting very difficult. Captain John found places to keep us out of the wind, all of which held great opportunities for snook, sea trout, lady fish, and grouper. He was totally prepared with a complete arsenal of spinning rods, bait, and fly rods for anything that gave us a shot. Overall, a great day and would definitely do it again.
Captain Jon-Paul was an extremely knowledgeable and personal guide. Weather was not ideal with a cold front for Tarpon and Snook, which was our main target but captain Jon-Paul did all he could to get on them. We were able to catch a cooler full of Mangrove Snapper and were even able to catch one snook to check off our list. He had exceptional equipment (rod, reels) that made the experience even better. 100% recommend this charter and will be a returning customer.
Thanks Jonathan! Had a grrat time with you and Rusty.
We asked Jon if we could target some species we normally do not catch in Pine Island Sound where we fish on our own boat often. We asked to target Bonefish, Permit and Tarpon and we would also be fine catching any other species that may be plentiful. We went to many spots that he knew we would see these species. We caught 3 Bonefish in the very first location he picked out. We went to another spot where he said we may find Permit. We did see 1 very large one but were not close enough to cast to. We searched other likely Permit and Bonefish spots but were not able to hook up. He took us to a spot where he knew there would be some Tarpon. A few casts later one came up after our lure twice but did not hook up. We ended up with some super nice Snook as a consolation!! All in all you will not find a nicer captain that will work his tail off to get you on the species you are after.
