We had a great time. Captain John John and the deckhand Drew were very courteous and friendly. The bite was slow but they did everything they could to put us on fish. We ended up with a good catch and everyone had a great time. We will definitely be back next year.

Captain John and is mate did an excellent job in making sure my family had a very good experience in the golf fishing.
Withing the first hours we already had all of the fish we could take. I would give it a 6 star but it looks like it's not possible so 5 it is.
If you are still thinking about booking with Cap John don't think twice just go for it, him and is mate will...

Disappointing! They did not get one bite the whole time. I was hoping for a small refund of some kind. The boys had looked forward to this and to not see a shark or get a bite really let them down. Would love to try again next year.

It would have been nice to be able to reschedule or adjust the trip in some way due to high winds. Couldn’t bottom fish in the weather we had. Very disappointing trip. I moved the day I originally set up at the captain request. The day that I originally set up the ocean was super calm

Response from John:

Weather was rough on the original date as well we had been dealing with storms and rough weather. Also I did cut the cost of the trip due to rough fishing. I do apologize for the weather but I did offer to cancel all together as well with no cost to you.

Response from Captain Experiences:

Hey Dan, thanks for this feedback. We do trust our Captains to make the best judgement calls with the weather information they have at the time. Safety is their number one priority, and Captain John was kind enough to offer a discount on a future trip with him. I hope that you will call us so that we can try again for better weather this time around!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

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 case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
