Fantastic trip Thanks Capt Jack

Full Day Trip6 adults1 child

Captain Jack is very experienced and it shows. Little tricks of the trade were unparalleled to attract the elusive amber jack or to get the tunas flocking our way. Competency and experience are worth gold! He was great finding us fish and constantly moving spots when bites would die down. We reached our limit on yellow tails in less then 25 min and went out for trolling for kings mahi and tunas. He was also able to squeeze some extra time for Amber Jack fishing. His first mate never stopped working he was great with the kids. Boat is excellent for families with an AC cabin sofa and refrigerator the kids had a place to cool down and rest Highly recommend for families and for avid fishermen!

    BEST DAY EVER!

    3/4 Day Trip5 adults

    Everything about this trip far exceeded expectations for all of us. Captain Jack and 1st mate Dalton we're awesome and we loved the accomodations on the boat!! The morning started out a little slow but they were determined to get us on the fish and boy they did. We ended up hitting it big time and catching 20+ Mahi. The experience was one in a life time and we all left saying, we will definitely be back! Thank you Captain Jack and Dalton for such a memorable day. We will see you soon!

    Great Experience

    Full Day Trip2 adults

    Captain Jack and Dalton were great. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable, personal, friendly, and welcoming. We caught a bunch of mahi; even though they werent biting as expected - and then got to fish off the bottom and caught some amberjacks; which I had never done before. We had alot of fun and would highly recommend this charter.

    Not a great day of fishing, but....

    Full Day Trip4 adults

    Weather, seagull intrusions, wind and waves and only one king mackerel boated -- but that's fishing. Captain suggested that we may want to change to a half day because of conditions. We agreed to this and got reimbursed by Fishing Booker for the half day from the full day. So all good! Mate Dalton worked his ass off in tough conditions and Captain Jack was great as well. Happy to recommend Shake 'n Bait for your next charter.

    Captain Jack and Dalton showed our family an amazing day. The boat is fast, modern, and EXTREMELY comfortable. The captain and crew were great to talk to and put us on the fish. Highly recommend and very family-friendly. We would definitely book again.
