The Right Stuff!

Half Day Trip – Shark Fishing2 adults

Had my first ever outing exclusively for shark and could hardly have been more pleased. Captain Jack was everything I could ask for in a Captain. He was personable and professional, worked relentlessly to put us on sharks, and displayed his vast 50 years of shark fishing experience with nearly 40 years of Guiding. We picked up a Mako before our trip was cut short as my buddy had a bout of sea sickness. Not only will I be booking with Captain Jack again, but will make it a yearly tradition as I live in Chicago. If you want sharks, including a realistic chance at a trophy Mako or Blue or even multiple trophys in one day, book with Jack for a thrill ride worth every penny!

    Great Fishing with a Great Guide

    Half Day Trip – Shark Fishing • 1 adult

    Absolutely great time. Captain Jack gave me the option of going for more fish or bigger fish which I really appreciated. He had so much knowledge of the water and the area. Decided to go bigger and Captain Jack got me on the line with a nice mako. He definitely knew how to bring the sharks into the boat and the right gear for the job. Had an amazing day out on the water and I really recommend.
