Captain and Crew told us the Reds were there yesterday and asked if we wanted to take the trip and see if we could hook up. The “extended” boat ride and waiting for the sun to get over us was well worth the wait. First three reds were citations and ended up landing 7. PBs for us all. What a great time and experience.

Hey Jermey, Brian, & Erica it was such a pleasure fishing with you all. That was a really hot drum bite we were on. I must say you all did really great by landing all 7 fish. A very grateful moment. I will be giving you a call Jermy on the Cobia migration. Until then good luck and stay safe.

Full day of Fish On!!!

Best day fishing I’ve ever had! Capt. Theo kept us on fish the entire day. He was kind and patient for our newer fishers, taught us all some new tricks, all while letting us be involved and have a blast! Will highly recommend if you want to get what you pay for and have a great time. Thanks again!!!

Full day meat trip

Captain Theo at Johnny Quest shows up early, runs a safe, efficient boat, puts you on the fish, and gets you safely home. What more could you ask for? Captain Theo has taken my family fishing multiple times since we moved to Virginia Beach. He’s my first choice for a day on the water and always finds a way to fill the freezer with fish. Clean, well-provisioned boats and friendly and professional mates, puts his charter among the top tier in Virginia waters.

We are so glad we decided to go w/ Theo. He’s an amazing Captain and person. Very personable. We honestly felt like we’ve known him for years. He’s very laid back & kind. He listens & answered any questions we had. He was so patient when it came to showing me how to use the rods & cast. We actually went out w/ him 2 days in a row. We now consider him a friend and plan on coming up again next year.

Thank you for the heart felt review. I really appreciate your words of kindness. Cant wait to see yall again when the Cobia are here. I really want you both to catch a Cobia. We can fry it up at the house and Sherry you can make some of that good pasta salad with Miracle Whip. No Cole slaw for Mike ok. Love you all.

We booked a trip with Captain Theo to check Cobia off the bucket list. Captain Theo was a great communicator, set cleat expectations for the day and worked hard to make sure we had a great day fishing. He put us on the fish and we ended up with a citation worthy Cobia. I would definately recommend booking with Captain Theo. You won’t be dissapointrd.

This trip timed out at 2 pm but we stayed the course and kept on fishing for our clients. Within the next hour we hooked up on this 50 inch Citation Cobia followed up by a cool 39 inch Cobia 2 total. It’s was a pleasure to fish with you guys David thank you for being patient with us.

Johnny Quest is the real deal. He was very knowledgeable and has a passion for what he does. If the fish doesn’t come to you he’s going to go to the fish, you will not leave empty handed. Overall my group had a awesome time out with Johnny Quest and I do recommend others use him for their trip.
