July fishing trip

Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults
Response from Captain

I gave you multiple opportunities to catch fish and you guys were unable to capitalize on the opportunities and we only caught a few. That is on you, not me. The boat and gear are brand new, so thank you for the bad review on that too. If I remember correctly at the end of the trip you thanked me because you broke your “charter bad luck”.

    Limit plus BONUS

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    After a 1 day reschedule due to weather, we had tight lines out the gate. Capt Johnny Fairbanks had us on blues 1st thing. He was constantly on the phone and radio to fill the well. Got our limit then switched to some much anticipated SHARK fishing. He knew exactly where to go. Hooked into a fierce spinner that ran me around the boat 3x. We then hooked into a nice Blacknose. Would definitely recommend Capt Fairbanks on Island time charters.

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 6 adults

    Captain Johnny was absolutely amazing. Such a great guy and he got us on fish in no time. We ended up having the best fishing haul at the marina. I would 1000% reccomend this charter to anyone in the area. Thank you Captain Johnny!!

    Memories were made!

    3/4 Day • 2 adults

    Captain Johnny really knows how to put you on the fish and have a good time out on the water. We did a 3/4 day and were able to catch spanish mackerel, blue fish, shark, and red drum. We had a blast and will be coming back.

    Very good experience!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 5 adults • 3 children

    Our captain was very knowledgeable and good with helping our boys (8, 11, 15) learn more about fishing. They caught more fish than any of us were expecting and everyone had an awesome time. Thank you!
