About Your Guide

Certified Damn Good Guide

Captain JW grew up in South Texas, and has always enjoyed fishing out on the water, and he enjoys getting to share this love of fishing with others. One of his firm beliefs is that you can't catch a fish if your hook isn't in the water... Thus he works hard to make sure you always have a line out! Whether that's trolling out to your destination, bottom fishing, site-casting, jigging, or any manner of fishing. If the method catches fish, Captain JW knows how to do it!

Captain JW and his First Mate Tyler were top-notch. We requested to catch snapper. Not only did we limit out, but we had plenty of time to snag a few kings as well. Captain JW knew where all the hot spots were. Highly recommended; can’t go wrong with What’s On.
