    Outstanding Experience

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    My son and I spent the day on the water with Jay. Not only did he put us on an amazing amount of fish but he gave us great insight to the area and I felt like I was hanging out with an old fishing buddy. The variety of fish was amazing for our first charter in the area. But Jay reached out prior to our trip and inquired if there was anything we wanted to target. His instructions were spot on and contributed to our success. I highly recommend a day on the water with Jay…great guy, guide!

    Jay was outstanding as a guide and the boat was perfect. Great communication, cool guy to hang out with and we had a blast. He put us on snapper, reds and trout. We limited out in 5 hours and came home with thr price of the guide in fresh fish. He cleaned them for us and took pictures for us. We will definitely use him every time. We highly recommended Jay!

Which one was the easiest to catch?

apr 13, 2025 • Venecija
The one without a tail, of course. Looks like a shark got a little bit of a meal, but the rest of the meal got away. He healed up pretty good and got let go to swim or try to a little more.
