Half Day Back Country

Half Day Trip – Backcountry2 adults

Jim is a great captain who really knows the area and has some amazing knowledge when it comes to fishing. He was very informative from the start of the charter all the way until the end. We filled the cooler fast and had a blast doing it, we will be eating good for days. If your visiting the keys and want to do some fishing I would definitely recommend Capt Jim. Great experience throughout the whole trip, I'll be booking him again during the next tarpon migration!

Response from Captain

Cody, Thank you and Erika for coming out with me you guys did a great job and I'm looking forward to doing it again!

    Half day with Capt. Jim

    Half Day Trip – Backcountry • 2 adults

    I took my mother on a half day trip with Captain Jim. He was an excellent guide, as good as any I have been fishing with (and I have been on guided trips from the northern end of British Columbia to Ixtapa Guatemala). He was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and above all knows where to find fish. You would be hard pressed to find any better guide in the Keys. He even shared his recipe for blackened snapper with me and stuck around for cocktails at the tiki bar. Whether you are an experienced fly fisherman or a novice looking to have fund you will get you money's worth with Captain Jim. P.S. He is the preferred guide for Texans visiting Key West.

    Reported Catch
    Mangrove Snapper
    Yellowtail Snapper
    Response from Captain

    Brooks, Thank you for the kind words. I had a great time out there with you and Rhonda and look forward to going it again! Enjoy the rest of your stay and safe travels home.

    Full day trip with Cpt. Jim

    Full Day Trip – Backcountry • 2 adults

    The ONLY reason I gave 4 stars for experience was because the fishing was awful as far as what Cpt Jim says he usually catches with people. We DID catch a lot of fish, but 1 keeper Snapper and that was all. Everything else too small. You can't control where the good fish are! It was a fun trip and we learned a few different fishing setups we can use in the future. Cpt Jim is very knowledgeable and didn't mess around if we stopped at a new spot and weren't catching a lot; he would tell us to reel in and we would move again. Overall, would definitely recommend to anyone, and will book with him again if we go to Marathon in the future.

    Response from Captain

    Tiffany, Thank you and Kent for coming out, it was a tough day of fishing for sure and I hope to see you guys in the future and get another chance to get you out on the water!
