Captain Jim of Blue Heron showed us a great time on the water. We were able to land a number of fish and he was exceptionally patient with the less experienced anglers on the boat, providing guidance and solid instruction. He even calmly handled a situation he explicitly was hoping to avoid and did it seamlessly. Next time we venture back to Top Sail, I’ll be seeing if Jim is around the guide as to more fish!

Captain Jim tired his hardest to get us on fish to day with bad weather and wind sneaking in on us. He never gave up and kept us entertained with his amazing personality. He came through for my son’s birthday and on the very last line of bait in the rain got him his first red drum! He is a very patient and knowledgeable individual. 10/10 would book him again!

Thanks for the kind words Michael! Man, we had to work to get a good one today but I’m glad we got one on the last cast of the day 😂. I’m happy Owen got one on his birthday. You all are great and are welcome back anytime. Thanks again!

Capt Jim was friendly, fun, and very knowledgeable, we had a great time. We caught some Redfish, a very nice flounder (release) and enjoyed the morning, even if it was a bit cool. Thanks Capt, we will do this again.
