    Great day out on the water

    Half Day – Backwater Fishing (AM)2 adults1 child

    My son and I had an awesome fishing trip! Captain Jim was super knowledgeable and put us right on the fish. We caught a ton, including a massive Jack Crevalle and a Black Drum, which were the highlight of the trip. Highly recommended!

    We had a great time

    Half Day – Backwater Fishing (AM)2 adults

    Captain Jim made sure we both caught fish and taught tip and tricks for the future. It was an amazing time. And he made sure we stayed safe as the weather changed.

    Captain Jim is the bomb!

    Half Day – Backwater Fishing (PM)2 adults

    Captain Jim worked his tail off to put us on the fish. He has a great personality for the job. We had a ball and will be booking him again. I would highly recommend him for a great fishing experience!!!

    Father-Daughter

    Half Day – Backwater Fishing (AM)2 adults

    Went out to the 10,000 islands with Captain Jim on a Father-Daughter fishing trip. Learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Right away got us on the fish and improving our fishing techniques. Jim is extremely knowledgeable In the area, can’t wait to book with him again to go after Monster Snook! Afterwards took the fish to the Snook Inn and had some amazing fish tacos (4).

    3/4 Day Fishing Trip

    3/4 Day Trip – Backwater Fishing3 adults

    Capt. Jim was great. He really knows the water and how to find the fish. His boat and gear are in great shape. His instructions were spot on. We went out with him under less than ideal tide conditions. Man did he get us on the fish. He worked hard, moving from spot to spot as the conditions changed, retying the lines when fish broke them off and making sure we had the right bait in the water for the location. First thing in the morning I hooked up with a 80# tarpon, a first for me that I will never forget. If you have never fought a good size tarpon on light gear, it is fun and a workout. We also caught a nice snook, a redfish, and several sea trout. There were a few snapper, catfish, etc thrown in the mix too. We had a couple sharks on the line for a while, and he got me on a very large snook that broke off my line (my fault, not Capt. Jim's). 100% if you want to catch some very nice fish, go with Capt. Jim. I will be going back out with him the next time I am in town. 5 Star all the way, if you want a great fishing trip Capt. Jim is your man.
