About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Johnathan for a specialized Red Snapper fishing trip in the rich waters off of Pensacola, FL! Snapper are known worldwide for their delicious taste, and they're a blast to catch as well. Whether you're a novice fisherman, a seasoned angler, or a vacationer looking to spice up your summer, this trip has your name on it.

To catch big-time Red Snapper, you'll get offshore and drop your lines over structure such as reefs and wrecks, where these fish like to congregate. Once you hook one, hang on—these fish can put up a serious fight!

Captain Johnathan will come prepared with everything you need for a blue-ribbon day on the water, including top-of-the-line rods, reels, and gear, plus plenty of baits and tackle. His 23' Skeeter bay boat is a perfect boat for nearshore fishing, and is powered by a 300-HP Yamaha engine for a smooth ride.
Any trip with Captain Johnathan is sure to be a great one, so get ready for some awesome fishing and great memories. To maximize your experience, bring along a pair of polarized sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen!

This was a last minute trip booked with Captain Jonathan. Our originally scheduled trip 2 days prior had been cancelled due to water conditions being rough.

This was a last minute trip booked with Captain Jonathan. Our originally scheduled trip 2 days prior had been cancelled due to water conditions being rough. Weather was good this day, however water still a little rough.(1-2 Feet) We had a 1 1/2 hour drive to meet them at the dock and 15 minutes before we arrived Captain Jonathan called me wanting me to consider re-scheduling the trip. That was not an option for us.
To make a long story short, our planned 6 hour trip lasted just 3 from the time we stepped on his boat until we stepped back on the dock. We made 1 drop after a 45 minute ride. We boated 3 fish, 2 red snapper( 1 legal size) a small mackerel. Hooked up on a couple more we ended up loosing. We moved from there to the shoreline in the Pensacola pass to try redfish. After 20 minutes Captain Jonathan said "I can't stand anymore of this, let's call it a day". We headed back to dock.
We were very content with the fishing conditions, not perfect conditions, but we were fishing that's all we wanted to do. It was obvious Captain Jonathan wanted to be elsewhere. I've been on several charters in the past and on them all the Captain has done all they could to make the trip as good as possible.
Captain Jonathan and 1st mate Noah are very personable, friendly young men, however on this day we were very disappointed in how this trip was handled.
