My brother and I had an experience of a lifetime thanks to Capt. Jeff. Among the many fish we caught were large quantities of grouper and cobia. Capt. Jeff taught fishing techniques and was very competent.

I go to Key West every year with a few pals, and I've gone fishing with Capt. Jeff several times. We are grateful that he has been understanding and has always been aware of the best locations given the weather.
