(HUSBAND/WIFE TRIP) Captain Jim was extremely knowledgeable and helpful during our entire fishing trip. Whether you are an expert fisherman or beginner, Captain Jim is definitely the perfect captain for your fishing adventure. We highly recommend him. If we return to the Florida Keys, we will be booking with him again.
Thank you so much Tracy, I appreciate you guys coming out with me!
Great fishing experience!! Captain Jim was very nice guide and explained everything well. My girlfriend not too experienced, also got the swing of it. A lot of activity, got 7 nice fat red snappers, also a couple of big bites that got away. Also 2 barracudas we let them out again. Amazing trip around the Keys, definitely wanna do this again
Svend, Glad you enjoyed the outing and looking forward to seeing you both again next time you're in town. Let's do it again!
Do not hesitate to book with Capt. Jim. He is very professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and patient. He put us on the fish and we had our limit in no time, then spent the rest of our time fishing catch and release. His boat is so clean you could eat off of it. It was a great experience!!
Thank you Paulette, you and Kurt did a fantastic job out there and it was a pleasure having you on board. Looking forward to seeing you both again next time you're in the Keys!
Captain Jim was an awesome fishing guide - friendly, patient and knowledgeable. He even fetched me a beer while I was reeling in snappers! Great experience and highly recommended.
Ryan, Thank for coming out I had a great time with you guys. I'm working on my bartending skills each and every day, lol. Looking forward to seeing you again!
Captain Jim was great. Taught my wife and I a lot about fishing in the Keys. We didn’t catch a lot of fish, but the experience was fantastic. We will definitely go on another fishing charter with Jim.
Dave, Thank you both for coming out with me, I'm sorry our weather pattern has not been what it typically is. Looking forward to getting you out in better conditions.
The sea was angry that day, my friends.. November winds can make fishing challenging, but Captain Jim didn't let that stand in the way. We caught some amazing Mangrove Snapper, as well as a barracuda and a few other fish. Jim was very patient, showing us proper techniques to land fish. After we were done fishing, Jim cleaned and de-boned our catch and recommended a local restaurant who would cook them for us. It was the best dinner we had during our stay. I will definitely book another trip next time I come to the keys.
Thank you for coming out Jody I had a great time with you guys and I'm looking forward to getting together again. I'm glad you were able to enjoy your catch!
Captain Jim is the real deal! Expert guide and we fished the current on the flats in the morning. Limited out on mangrove snapper and yellowtail snapper. Fantastic dinners with those fish! Boat is good for two, not more. Captain Jim is a very nice guy, down to earth and a great teacher as well. Highly recommended!
Thank you both so much for booking the trip with me, you did a great job out there. I'm glad you were able to enjoy your catch and look forward to fishing with you again!
We made our reservations several weeks in advance and were pleased when Capt. Jim contacted us the day before we were to go out with him to make sure we knew where and when he would meet us. At the appointed time, he was at the pier ready to go. After taking a few minutes for a required (and common sense) safety briefing, we were on our way. The boat was comfortable for the two of us. Almost as soon as we dropped the anchor, we started catching fish. After we returned, he cleaned our catch and put the fillets in an insulated bag with crushed ice. Captain Jim is a knowledgeable and very personable man and made our trip a real pleasure. When we come back to this area, we plan on booking another trip with him. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for booking the trip with me and looking forward to fishing with both of you again!
What an amazing fishing trip, Capt Jim is first class, such a nice and Knowledgeable guy. Me and my wife couldn't have asked for a better fishing trip. Can't wait till next time. Do yourself a favor, If you visit the Key book a fishing trip with Capt Jim , you won't be disappointed.
Thank you David, you and Kim did a great job and I'm looking forward to getting you back out on the water. You're welcome anytime!
We can’t say enough about Captain Jim. He is a great guide and went far beyond making our first saltwater fishing experience the best ever!! He definitely knows his fish and will put you exactly in a position to catch every time you cast. He cleaned and filet our fish and sent us to Hogfish Grill where they grilled, fried, and blackened our fish!! Absolutely amazing. It was definitely the highlight of our first trip to Key West and will definitely be back next year with Captain Jim. Thank you again!! See you next year
Angela, Looking forward to seeing you guys next year and you did a great job out there, glad you were able to enjoy your catch!
