Started the new year off right with Captain Jayson. We pulled in Redfish after Redfish, and the whole trip was seamless and fun.

The perfect mix of learning and catching. We targeted Snook and Trout and got plenty of both. Highly recommend for families and seasoned anglers alike.

The highlight was hooking into a big Black Drum. Captain Jayson is professional, patient, and clearly knows these waters inside out.

Captain Jayson worked hard all day and it showed—we left with a cooler of Trout and some huge Sheepshead. Can’t wait to book again.

From the scenery to the fishing, it couldn’t have been better. The 24’ skiff was perfect for shallow waters where the Redfish were stacked up.

Captain Jayson put us right on the Redfish bite. Using light tackle and popping corks made the fight even more fun—perfect Cedar Key experience.

My son and I go on a charter once a year, this is the best one we have been on in the past 5 years. Thanks to Captain Jason for putting us on fish all day long. From Shark, trout, red, and everything else. It was the complete opposite of a slow day!

We had a great time but it also was a very productive day on the water, it felt very fast paced throughout the day to make sure we got our moneys worth. I would say it was worth every penny!

Captain Dj. was awesome he answered all the questions we had and was a blast to be around. Didn't hear my boys ask when it was time to leave the entire time (this is huge for my 3 sons)
