Jamie was an incredible captain! He knew exactly where to take us, and our kids had a blast reeling them in. Highly recommend him — we will absolutely be booking with him again!

So much fun, highly recommend! Caught some big fish and learned a lot about fishing the area. It was windy the night we went out, but that boat still gave a smooth ride! Thanks Captain Jamie, we had a blast!

My sister has been going through a tough time recently. She came to visit and said all she wanted was a little fishing. After one conversation with the captain, I signed her up — and she had the best day! It was the first time I’d seen her truly smile in a long time. My sister will share her own thoughts, but I’m beyond thrilled I sent her on this charter. She is visually impaired, and I wasn’t sure if she would be able to participate — but the captain made it not only possible, but absolutely amazing. This man running the charter is phenomenal in every way. I will never look anywhere else for family or company outings that involve fishing. Thank you, Captain — more than you’ll ever know! ❤️

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!

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.

Booked with Captain Hoover last year and had such a great time, we decided to go again this year. Started with our slot fish and then went after the big reds — ended the day with 16 bull reds over 30"! Highly recommend. Thank you, Captain Hoover!

We booked a trip with Captain Jamie and had an absolute blast! He was polite, informative, and made sure we were on the fish. He shared our excitement as we reeled in big bull reds. Highly recommend for both new and experienced anglers — we’ll definitely be back!

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!

Exceptional Fishing Charter Experience with Captain Jamie! From the moment my husband reached out to Captain Jamie to book our fishing charter, the communication was outstanding. He kept us informed about the weather and even recommended rescheduling to ensure the best experience. Captain Jamie was punctual, well-prepared, and had everything needed for a smooth and enjoyable trip. He made us feel completely welcome on his boat with his great sense of humor, patience, and excellent rapport with kids. His knowledge of fishing was impressive, and he tailored our excursion perfectly—from catching large redfish to finding the perfect fish for our dinner. He truly went the extra mile from start to finish. We highly recommend Captain Jamie with Addicted to Scales and Tails for an unforgettable fishing experience!

Captain Jamie is 100% Addicted to putting you on the fish. Our trip started slow, but Captain Jamie was patient and used his knowledge of the area and found the fish. My two teenage boys and I had a blast. Will be back to fish with Captain Jamie again.
