Ratings & Reviews Summary

Captain Jim took my buddies and I on an incredible inshore fishing trip in search of reds. He put us on so many redfish (to the tune of 20 catches each) in a two hour window we were done. It was a very rare experience to catch the reds like that and I am forever grateful and will definitely return for another charter with Jim. I highly recommend a charter for anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing experience.

You cannot ask for a more knowledgeable and enthusiastic Captain! A day on the water with Capt Jim is so much fun, he makes sure everyone on the boat is engaged and having a great time. Not to mention he puts you on some fish! What a fantastic value for the money; highly recommend this charter.

My family booked two separate trips with Jimmy while we were in town the week of my wedding and everyone had an amazing time! He was super attentive to all of our guests and really made sure everyone had the best experience possible. Judging by all the fish in the photos he definitely knows his craft and no fish is safe! Can’t wait to book my own trip in the future!

Absolutely recommend Cpt. Jim!Fabulous fishing and three individual Tampa slams that day. We and my boys caught well over 40 fish. If you are an experienced fisherman or just starting this is the guide for you.

Jim took me and my 18 year old son out for a full trip. My son slammed an 80lb Tarpon that took 20 minutes to land! His arms were smoked afterwards! We also got into some Snook, Redfish, and Seatrout. We completed a Grand Slam!!!!! Thanks Captain Jim! My son will always remember his first Tarpon. We had an excellent time, thank you sir.
