Stellar service from Captain Jon and crew! By far the best guide experience I’ve ever had because they listen to what you want, and are responsive to your requests. Landed two of my bucket list species. In Sarasota they know where to find the fish and are well mannered. I kept saying I could not have asked for more!

We’ve gone out 3 years with Captain John now - absolutely the best fishing trips we’ve ever been on. We will continue to call Captain John every time we come down to FL - he is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and absolutely hilarious. He gets us on the fish both in the bays and miles out, does all the baiting and taking off, and creates lifelong memories for us. Thanks Capt John for all the wonderful memories and full bellies!!
