Excellent Morning Jetty Trip

Half Day Trip – Jetty Fishing (AM)4 adults

My family had a blast on our jetty fishing trip! Captain Jerry has a great heart and quick wit and was a pleasure spending a few hours with on the boat. We caught plenty of fish in all the species we were hoping for. The Captain’s expertise and friendly connections made sure we found the ‘hot spots’ to keep on catching! The highlight of our trip was hooking into a large Jack Crevalle and orchestrating a team effort to land it after a good fight. We also enjoyed catching plenty of speckled trout, sheepshead, redfish, and catfish. As catch and release fishermen, we appreciated the extra care spent in making sure all our catches were handled correctly and released quickly in order to not disrupt their health. A unique part of this charter was the included “first mate”, who was fantastic at helping us keep our lines in the water with fresh live bait, and netting our catches. The boat itself is very comfortable and large, with shade to retreat to if needed and a proper toilet, which was a huge selling point for my mother. Our experience with this charter was amazing, and we would absolutely book them time and time again if we find ourselves back on the island. Thanks y’all for the memories!

    Very knowledgable captain

    The fish weren’t biting - no one was catching anything, including all the boats around us. The captain did everything he could to locate fish. Both that’s fishing. We will get them next time. Enjoyed conversation and the water.

    Half day trip with Captain Jerry

    Half Day Trip – Jetty Fishing (AM)3 adults1 child

    What a great, fun, day on the gulf!! My nephews and I had a wonderful day fishing with Captain Jerry. The book is in excellent condition, the fishing rods and reels were all easy to use. With a simple lesson we were ready to cast our lines. Our group included two young teens, ages 12 and 14. As well as an old lady, 70 and slightly handicapped using a cane. Jerry, and his deck hand, Trey were patient and helpful assisting me onto (and off) the boat. We fished for a few hours and the boys caught fish such as trout, rock fish, and even a couple of eels. Captain Jerry then set the boat to trawling and we hoped to catch a couple of sharks. TJ had a shark on the line, but it jumped the hook about 4 feet from the boat. Weather was great most of the day - had some shade and a breeze at times. But we didn't really mind the hot July day because we were on the water having a blast!
