The captain was very knowledgeable, he didnt like to bring sharks on the boat but he knew my son and nephew wanted to see one so he helped me to catch one so we could bring it up and get some photos. We did not catch a whole lot or anything very big but nobody did that day. Was not the charters fault. You cant win every trip it is part of fishing. He did keep us out a little longer than we had booked trying to get us hooked onto some big fish. He is also very competitive on prices. If I am back in the Jacksonville are i will be booking another trip with him and i would recommend it to others and first timers as well.
