Had a great time with Capt.Jim today. He is very knowledgeable about the local fishing spots and really explains what to look for when fishing. Although we came up empty we did get some great nibbles on some sharks in one spot. Maybe next we can go for the ones that got away today. Thanks Capt Jim.

Thank you John, You all are a fun group and are always welcome back! Next time we go out I’m bringing a couple bigger rods and some wire leaders for those sharks. No more bite offs 🦈🦈😜. Hope to see you again soon. Thanks again!

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.
