I have a different perspective, great day of fishing, bad day of catching. I had a great time fishing with y’all and am probably more disappointed than you. It wasn’t from lack of effort and sometimes you need a bad day to really appreciate the good ones. I will say The bad review is exactly why some Captains will target whatever is easier to catch to put fish in the box, something we discussed not doing. Captain John

We had a blast with Captain John. He made us feel like we were friends out with him for the day. He got us on the fish catching Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel and False Albacore. Stopped by the clam beds on the way back and filled a bucket of clams. Would definitely recommend!

Thanks Jamie, I had a great time with y’all. I’m already looking forward to next time and will scout out some sandy bottom clamming spots. Thanks again. John

Thanks Scott, had a great time with y’all and you’re quite the angler. That was one I’ll always remember. If I didn’t have plans in the afternoon I would’ve stayed out all day with y’all. I’m already looking forward to next time. Thanks again.

What memories are made of! John, you are an amazing captain! The entire experience was phenomenal from the moment I booked the trip to the moment we stood on the docks, with Evan watching in sheer amazement as you expertly filleted our dinner catch in seconds! Thank you so much for a wonderful first charter trip for us! Darren and I really appreciate the thoughtfulness you put into your business, from reaching out with an initial phone call to customizing the trip to accommodate our touristy whims!... More

Thank You Susan, very kind words and they will make the trip even more memorable. Everything came together perfect from the fishing, overcast skies clearing up for a beautiful sunset, Trapper being good and getting to spend the evening with You, Darren and Evan. Every trip I go on is special but the way this one came together it was a little extra special. I’m glad you enjoyed the fish and I’m thinking about the ones that got off to be a little better. Thanks again and I look forward to next... More
