7AM Half Day
We had a great time with Captain Jimmy today. Although we did not catch any fish it was not for a lack of effort from Jimmy. He tried to put us on fish but they just weren’t biting today. Jimmy is a very friendly guy and was fun to be around. He felt really bad that we didn’t catch any fish and apologized several times. Again, he did everything he could to get fish for us, but today just wasn’t the day. I will definitely book with Jimmy the next time we are in the area.

Half Day Trip (AM)
They trip was challenging for everyone, the weather did not cooperate. It rained about three of the four hours. Captain Jim is a very nice, very friendly man, he did put us on fish and we all caught fish. The rain was relentless and we had to stand in 3-4 inches of water most of the time. I believe that if the weather had cooperated the captain would have been able to put us on bigger fish, we had very tough conditions but due to our schedule it was impossible to reschedule. My hat is off to Jimmy Early for taking us out on the nasty weather.

Full Day Trip
I am from Nebraska- so the whole experience was new to us. We are experienced fishers - but have never chased any salt/coastal/bay fish. Capt Jimmy was awesome! I chose Bent Rod Charters because it was a smaller boat and in the bay. It was just my son (10) and I on the boat - so we had all the help we needed. The mission was to catch some reds and trout - mission accomplished! Capt Jimmy is great with kids was very patient with my son (and myself😁) I think we all had a great time, plenty of laughs and FISH to go around. Always remember: They are called fishing Guides …not Gods! They can get you to the fish they can’t always make them bite and can usually only reel in one pole at a time (Capt Jimmy is the exception!). Thanks for a great day and memorable experience!!
