5 hour inshore/nearshore trip

5 Hr Extended day Inshore/Nearshore3 adults1 child

Captain John had great communication prior to our trip. He was on time, has a nice boat, had nice gear and put us on fish in each of the 4-5 spots we fished. I would fish with Captain John again.

    Gentleman and Scholar

    6 Hour Inshore/Nearshore Trip (AM)2 adults

    A captain of the highest quality. A true gentleman, outdoorsman, and sailor among his peers. We were treated with a tremendous amount of respect and our 6 hour trip was extremely fruitful. The day started off slowly, but by the time we came back to the dock we had caught over a dozen different species including sharks, snapper, sheepshead, and whiting. A large flounder jumped off the hook seconds before being pulled onboard. The captain is a jovial man with an honest character. His prices were very fair, and we never lingered in a stale fishing spot for long. 5 stars well earned sir.

    6hr offshore fishing trip

    6 Hour Offshore Trip (AM)3 adults

    First off, I just want to say how AMAZING John and his wife are. Communication was fantastic and Jenny gave me all of the info for our trip in advance. From the second we arrived at the boat launch it was a great experience. John was super friendly and definitely knows his fish!! Literally the first cast in the water and we were all getting bites and reeling in fish. Unfortunately the waves were a little too choppy to start with so john moved us to another spot, Fish after fish all day long!!! And when action slowed/stopped john was quick to move us around and find the fish again. It was an amazing day, lots of memories made. My mom and I even got 2 nice black drum along with a variety of other fish. Would 100% recommend booking your next fishing trip with John, you will NOT be disappointed.

    Captain John turned a slow day into a late winner

    4 Hour Trip Inshore/Nearshore (AM)2 adults

    First off, we went to the jetty to see how rough the seas were. It was nice to see with my own eyes to confirm the high seas forecast. Waves were too large to go out, so we were limited to inshore fishing. We tried a few different spots and were getting lots of bites but not many fish. That was until we stopped at our last spot by the boat ramp. Then it was fish after fish hitting the line as soon as we dropped them to the bottom. I like how the captain always kept his line in the water giving us more opportunity to haul in fish with the extra line in the water. The boat is clean and organized. Communication before, during and after the trip was excellent. I will absolutely be hiring this Captain in the future. Great day on the water for my son and I.
