Captain Adam made our day incredibly fun and is a great teacher!
We were very excited for a day out on the water. The charter changed captains on us an hour before leaving. But assured us that the substitute captain was very well qualified. When we arrived we were told it was too windy to go out of the inlet so we would be fishing inshore on this trip,(with nearshore/offshore price tag). There was NO live bait on the boat. We went to three or four different locations ย With the guide fishing along side usโฆ all together caught a total of TWO FISH! (sea bass) neither of which was bigger than my hand.ย To say the least it was a big disappointment. I could have caught more from the pier. Based on my experience I would NOT recommend this guide service.

Please Read!ย For nearly six years we have been putting fish in the boat and smiles on faces.ย Two things I canโt control is bad weather and people with unreasonable expectations.ย The other three charters that week gave us 5 stars and glowing reviews. This client was given daily updates on the weather and strongly advised to cancel and that the trip would be difficult, after the weather had moved it three times.ย He was provided an amazing captain, who fished his tail off, catching over 20 inshore fish including several nice mangrove snapper and a keeper redfish.ย Unfortunately, the client and his party thought it better to ignore the Captain at every turn, including loosing the keeper redfish at the side of the boat.ย When you come to St. Augustine, I want you to leave feeling Adam Burch was a great ambassador for this fine city.ย If I canโt take you fishing due to weather, Iโll direct you to other activities your family would enjoy.ย If Game On doesnโt fit your specific fishing needs, such as tarpon, Iโll happily send you to a first rate charter that can.ย Bringing Joy to you and your family will always our top priorityโฆ..see you on the water.

The Captain and Mate were very friendly however it was an hour and a half into the trip before we started fishing on a 4 hour trip. I think having the bait already on the boat vs. catching it would make much more sense and it would allow for more fishing time.
Unfortunately the entire fleet had a rough first day of fishing post Hurricane Dorian.ย Live bait works much better than dead ballyhoo, and normally takes five minutes to catch.ย The live bait every charter uses is fragile and canโt effectively be kept in pens.ย The Captain had a solid game plan and made several adjustments to make something happen, which did produce some good results.ย Game On has a long set of positive reviews, but canโt always overcome Mother Nature despite our best efforts.
