We only had 2 hours but Capt. John delivered! Highly recommend. Caught some nice peacock and had a huge knife clownfish on the line… but he got away. Next time!

Great trip, boat was in excellent condition and Capt. John put us on the fish. We will be going back and highly recommend Jurassic Park fishing charters.

Today we had a great day on the water. Capt John was great with my kids and was quick to re-bait the hooks. We all had a blast.
