About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Jon to either wade fish or fish from his 26 Mowdy Cat. This boat is easy to get in and out of, runs in 4 inches of water, and has plenty of room for extra/personal gear, four people (excluding the guide), and coolers.

For wading trips, you will leave the ramp, first thing in the morning and target redfish, trout, and black drum. Captain Jon provides wade gear (excluding boots), tackle, and fish cleaning. Live bait costs extra. Feel free to bring your own rods and reels, but he can also provide them upon request.

And if you don't want to wade, Captain Jon's boat has a large open area perfect for chasing reds around the boat and fishing up to four people. He can take you to the back lakes, cuts and open bay for trout, reds, black drum and sheepshead using live and/or dead bait.

So no matter your preference, Captain Jon has got you covered!

Capt Jon was great! He agreed to go out, even though it was so windy and cold and made sure we had a fun time, even if we didn’t expect to have much luck given the conditions. We were victorious over the gulls however and got several great fish!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
