I would say that his trip was very exciting and fun, he is a nice and funny guy who knows what he's doing when it comes to fishing. We caught a bunch of different kinds of fish, huge and small. I would say me and my dad had a great time with austin, if you want a learning experience austin is your guy.

We have been on a few charters, but this one was, by far, the best! Joe was AMAZING in every way. We caught so many fish, despite the season being a bit behind, (which he was very upfront about), he was personable, kind, friendly, knowledgeable, fun, entertaining - literally everything you could want or need in a guide. We will not choose any other guide whenever we are here - which is every 3 months due to our Mayo visits. As some may know, Mayo can be exhausting and stressful, but after our appointments, our time spent with Joe out fishing, honestly made all of the stress, worries, and cares disappear. I could not recommend him enough!!

★★★★★
Captain David was fantastic! His knowledge and expertise made for an incredible fishing trip. We caught plenty of fish, and he went above and beyond to engage our kids, teaching them about fishing, bait, and boats along the way. He took us to multiple spots and was determined to help us land a big one—and we sure did! We had an amazing time and are already planning our next trip with him in the coming months. Highly recommend!

Excellent captain, and we have experienced many. Knew where the fish were and took us to them and we caught them. Enough to feed a family of 8. Knowledgeable, friendly, and not overtalkative, like some.

★★★★★
My husband and I had a great fishing day with Captain Frank. While the weather conditions, and tide, wasn’t fully cooperating, that was completely out of anyone’s control. Captain Frank is a great guide, very patient, calm, and easy going. It feels like you’re out on the water with an ole friend when you’re with him. We caught some speckled trout and we were very happy with day. We created new memories.😊

Very enjoyable day on the water! Austin worked hard to get us on fish. My wife kicked my butt with quantity but size matters, right?!

Awesome experience with David. He is a great guy, easy to talk with, and a lot of experience. We had a fun time and caught plenty fish with David (and normally i never catch anything). We are already planning our next trip with David, couldn't recommend more!

Austin was fantastic! We had a great trip and caught them up. He was so good with my son and taught him some great tricks to help catch the big ones.

Such a great experience! The captain had a great attitude and was really fun. The weather was a little off and very windy, but he still made everything fun. I appreciated his knowledge of the waterways and taking us through some different parts of the inshore areas. It was fun to see the shoreline from the water and we even hooked a few fish despite the weather. The whole group had a fantastic experience and I will be booking with Captain Bill again!

Ron, made light of some difficult fishing conditions to ensure that i went home with a huge smile on my face after a really decent haul of a great variety of fish. He was flexible, charming and a delight to spend a day with - a day i shall treasure for some time to come.

Outstanding fishing trip and adventure with Captain Bill. Celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary, I decided to book a deep-sea fishing trip while visiting our daughter in Jacksonville Florida. Captain Bill's sense of humor, people skills, combined with his professional knowledge and experience as a Captain and fishing guide made this trip/experience a great success and one we will always cherish. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth Captain that is fun an a expert in his craft.
