We went out to celebrate my boyfriends birthday and some great memories were made! Jim was fantastic, super knowledgeable, laid back and helped up catch some hogs! We will definitely come back. Thanks for a great charter!

Optimist Fishing Charter captain Jim was great.

The captain was great. The Fishing booker app is a ripoff. They took $60 for doing nothing. If you are going on a trip with Optimist book it directly with Captain Jim.

Thanks Don for the great review. Appreciate your thoughts. I feel Fish Booker provides a wonderful service. I wouldn’t have as much business as I do without them.
