Epic day fishing with Captain Jayson. It was my first time offshore, and I felt safe and confident the whole time. Caught a huge kingfish and ended the day sun-soaked and smiling.

We booked for the offshore variety and got exactly that—sharks, grouper, and snapper all in the same trip. Captain Jayson made everything smooth and fun.

Cedar Key is such a hidden gem for offshore fishing. With Jayson leading the way, we caught kingfish and snapper and saw dolphins during the ride back. Couldn’t ask for more.

Fantastic trip. Jayson was professional, safe, and very engaged with everyone onboard. Caught a nice mix of fish, and I finally checked cobia off my list.

Our family had a blast fishing with Captain Jayson! My daughter reeled in her first shark, and we ended the day with a cooler full of snapper and grouper. Would book again in a heartbeat.

We hooked into a couple of really solid grouper, and the boat was comfortable even in some light chop. Jayson clearly knows these waters like the back of his hand.

Can’t recommend Captain Jayson enough. The boat ride was smooth, and the shark bite was hot. Felt like we were reeling in something every few minutes.

We came for the kingfish and stayed for the cobia. What a day! Jayson's energy was infectious and he worked hard to make it a trip to remember.

First time fishing out of Cedar Key and it did not disappoint. Jayson was knowledgeable, funny, and put us right on the fish. Snapper and grouper were biting like crazy!

Great day offshore! We caught a little bit of everything—snapper, kingfish, and even a small shark. The 24' skiff handled the water better than I expected, and Captain Jayson made it all feel effortless.

Captain Jayson was dialed in from the moment we left the dock. We pulled in grouper and a couple nice cobia within the first few hours—absolutely stellar experience in Cedar Key.
