Had a great 6 hour trip with J.T despite the rough conditions. He stuck in there with us and eventually put us on some good fish. We will definitely be booking with Dawn Patrol again in the future.

Captain JT put us on the fish the whole trip! We caught our limit on Red Snapper and then had fun hooking up with Mahi. Highly recommend and will definitely call again next time we are in town.

Captain JT was Great! We will definitely book with him again! He was very patient with the kids! We caught lots of fish! He stepped us through while we reeled in our fish to make sure we didn’t lose them which I appreciated because my daughter and I were first-timers!
