We never fished Florida before so we hooked up with Capt. Jake so he could show us around, he was amazing! We started out with lures, did a little jigging and finished with some live bait. He knows every hole and structure in the bay. We caught redfish, sea trout, mangrove, snapper and king mackerel. Can’t wait for the next vacation, will definitely be calling him again. I would recommend him to anyone that’s looking for an exciting day on the water.

I guess the best thing I can say is when we come back, if we’re fishing on the Gulf, we’re going with Kyle. His First Mate Ben did a great job helping us out as well. Thanks Kyle
