Great time and good people
We had a great day. Captain John had us on fish from the first cast. We caught our limit of red snapper. 2 really nice Grouper, 5 black snapper, 1 white snapper and a scamp. Turned many small fish back and of course we missed several bites.

Wish we’d done this sooner
We had the most delightful day on the Bay with Captain John and first mate Rick. Not only did we fish, we caught!! Their extensive knowledge, hospitality and determination to find fish kept us motivated and focused to hook em. We especially loved the extra attention they showed our 13 year old son. We made memories to last a lifetime and apparently we’ll be making fish for dinner! Happy Catching to All!!

Thank you for a great trip!
We had a great time with Captain Jonathan. He was so knowledgeable, helpful, patient, and worked so hard. I would highly recommend him and his Dad. We had to move our trip up earlier with a tropical storm coming. We fished through the cold, wind, and rain. He was awesome.
