Jack totally rocked as our captain, and we had a blast! We're definitely coming back!

October 4, 2024

For my son’s 13th birthday we had Captain Jack take a group of my son’s friends fishing. They had a blast. Captain Jack knew all the best fishing spots and educated the boys on how to bait and cast their lines. As a result we had a very successful fishing day. When I asked my son what was his favorite part of the day, he replied….. "EVERYTHING!" I would highly recommend using Jackpot Fishing and Ecotours.
