Captain is awesome we had a tough day but didn’t get skunked. I’ll be back for sure redemption on my mind perfect price and my dream boat

July 31, 2025

Every trip with John on C-Legs is a great one. I’ve gone out with him several times. He is a guy that LOVES to catch fish. With his extensive fishing knowledge, he puts people on the great fish of the Gulf Stream , tuna, wahoo, mahi and more. But on the occasional slow day he can shift gears and go to his honey holes nearer to shore where black bass and other tasty fish congregate. It’s always a fun trip on this fast, immaculately maintained boat.

Great day of fishing! The guys had a terrific time. This was an awesome way to celebrate high school graduation. Captain and deckhand made this a wonderful experience and will definitely be doing this again.

July 31, 2025

John and his crew are fantastic! His passion for fishing and for people make for an awesome trip. Whether you want to go off shore and chase Tuna or Marlin or stay inland and put the smack down on some big Bull Reds, C-legs gotcha covered. Get out there and get bit with these guys, you won’t regret it!!!

July 31, 2025
