Great inshore fishing experience!!!

May 9, 2025

We had an amazing outing with two dads and three kids (ages 8 and 6), exploring the bay, spotting dolphins, and visiting Crab Island! We caught plenty of fish for a delicious dinner, and the kids declared it was “the best part of our vacation.” Huge thanks to Captain Jake!

May 9, 2025

Captain Jake was incredible! His knowledge and skill make him hands down one of the best captains in the area. We’re already planning our next trip back! For a true inshore fishing experience, Captain Jake is the one to book!

May 9, 2025

We had an amazing time! My 8-year-old and my uncle, who had never been fishing on a boat, were thrilled just to be out on the water. Captain Jake made the trip even better, guiding us and making sure we caught plenty of fish—including snapper and other exciting catches. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel truly lucky to have had such a memorable day!

We had an unforgettable day fishing with Captain Jack! He took us to gather bait, then led us to some of his favorite bay spots where we caught croaker, redfish, and even a catfish that thrilled our son. Afterward, we cruised over to Crab Island for a swim, and everyone had a fantastic time. Thank you, Captain Jack, for an amazing experience we’ll always remember!

We had an incredible time with a highly experienced Captain! My family not only caught plenty of fish but also made lasting memories and learned valuable fishing tips. The added bonus? Jets zooming overhead! Hauling in big fish with F-35s and F-16s racing through the sky was a thrill. Captain Jack was fantastic and went above and beyond for our crew. We’ll definitely be back for more!
