Amazing day of fishing with Captain Jason, he was very patient with my 10 year old, it was his first time fishing and he had a blast. Already booked again with him later this year.

Captain Jason is the best in Cedar Key, he knows where to go based on the tides and the wind. I go exclusively with him in this area. 10/10 Captain.

Captain J lowe has a 6th sense when it comes to locating the fish, it seemed like every spot we went to happened to be a honey hole full of keeper size fish. Highly recommend.
