My 9-year-old son and I booked our first-ever fishing trip with Captain Jesse, and it was honestly one of the best days we've had together. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Jesse made sure we felt comfortable and excited for the day ahead.
My son caught his very first redfish — and then his second one shortly after — and the look on his face was priceless. Captain Jesse was so patient and encouraging with him the whole trip, taking the time to explain what he was doing and why, and celebrating every catch like it was the biggest one of the day. You could tell he genuinely loves helping kids fall in love with fishing, not just putting fish in the boat.
He went above and beyond the entire trip — helping my son reel in, teaching him proper technique, and making sure he was having fun the whole time.
If you're looking for a guide who will make your first fishing trip (especially with kids) an unforgettable experience, Captain Jesse is the guy. We'll absolutely be booking with him again. Highly recommend!
