Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    We had an outstanding fishing trip with Captain Jack, and caught our target species at the first location of the day. In my experience this is rare. The snook were big, hungry, and plentiful. My son and his friend were astounded by the 30 inch snook's ability to fight. We had a great time, and I highly recommend Jack.

    Captain Rich was by far the best captain we have ever had during our fishing adventures! His boat was very comfortable.
