Awesome trip! We were on fish from the first cast. Each of us caught a 30 inch plus redfish. Jaime was awesome with my kids. They loved it. You can tell he puts in the time scouting to stay on the fish. We will be back!

An Unforgettable Day on the Water with Captain Jamie! If you’re looking for a fishing charter that goes above and beyond, look no further than Jamie. From the moment we stepped on the boat, it was clear that he genuinely cares about his customers and wants them to have the best experience possible. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable about where to find the fish, but also super patient and helpful—especially with those of us who were new to fishing. He made sure everyone felt comfortable, kept the energy fun, and was just an all-around great guy to spend the day with. We caught plenty of fish, made unforgettable memories, and laughed a lot along the way. You can tell Jamie puts his heart into what he does, and that makes all the difference. I can’t recommend his charter enough—book it! You won’t regret it. 🎣💯

We did a night trip with our two kiddos (7 & 9), the trip was mainly for our 7 year old son and it did not disappoint! He said it was the best night of his life 😂 Captain Hoover was absolutely amazing, so good with the kids and so knowledgeable. We will definitely be booking another trip in the future.

Trip - Catch the Morning Bite Before Everyone Else on August 3, 2025

Me, my brother, my buddy, and his son booked a last minute trip. Best fishing trip I’ve been on. The weather was bad so we postponed start time once we got there, just some unforeseen storm that came out of no where. We hung out and talked until it passed by, you would think you have known him your whole life super friendly and easy going. His time didn’t start until we got to our fishing destination he put us on 4 big bulls just for the enjoyment of the fight and then like clock work filled our limit on keepers. Filleted and bagged everything in no time. Boat is nice, hard to find a smoother ride than his ranger. He had fresh bait when we got there and an assortment in case they were picky. Supplied water, and ice for our fish. Book here don’t let the budget pricing fool you, you won’t be disappointed.

Captain Jaime is one of the kindest and most generous people we’ve ever met. He was phenomenal with my boys—patient, encouraging, and so much fun. I can’t thank him enough for giving them such a memorable fishing experience. If we’re ever back in Florida, we’ll definitely book with him again. You should absolutely book with him—you won’t regret it!

I recently went on a fishing trip and it was an incredible experience. I hooked into my first tarpon, caught my personal best trout, and managed to fill my limit of keeper fish. The captain provided fresh live bait, which definitely enhanced our chances of catching some great fish. The ranger boat we were on rode smooth, and it was clean and organized . Overall, it was an unforgettable day on the water filled with excitement and success. I highly recommend this fishing trip to anyone looking for a fantastic adventure!

Captain Jamie took me and my husband out for a night trip and we loved it. He put us and our 7 year old daughter on a bunch of nice redfish. My husband wants to go again next week 🤣

Hands down. Best day ever. Mr.Jamie was an absolute blast. This was a surprise mother’s day gift for my mom and she was so excited i’ve never seen her more happy. Me and my sister each caught a 32” Bull Red!!! It was a fight! Caught some trout and had 3 Red keepers ! I will definitely be booking again. He made our whole trip!! Thank you so much Mr.Jamie. We all appreciate your time and effort!
