We had a great time back country fishing with John Paul! He took us to awesome spots. We caught a bunch of snapper that we took to a restaurant to cook & eat- so fresh & delicious. We caught a barracuda and nurse shark and saw tons of tarpon, stingrays, sea turtles & other fish! We will definitely be calling John Paul for our future fishing trips! He was super helpful, fun & knowledgeable! Recommend for sure!!

The best charter for a small group. JonPaul is the nicest captain we have ever dealt with having extensive knowledge of the surrounding waters as well as where to go for sharks. We caught a Goliath grouper, nurse shark, a few bonnets, a stingray and multiple snappers and yellow jack. Thank you for the great time.
