Excellent day with Captain John and Mate Butch!! We took our 15, 13, and 11 yr old kids with us for an adventure at sea and it was a beautiful morning!! We extended our 3 hr trip to 4hr which was great for our kids but may have been too long for little ones. The boat was excellent, clean and fit all of us comfortably. We caught over 20 Spanish mackerel, 2 lizard fish, and 2 sharks!! We worked 4-5 lines at a time. The equipment was in great condition and clearly worked well!! Although there were some lulls we also had several times where multiple lines were popping at the same time. Reeling in a shark was the greatest thrill!

10/10 recommend Captain John, Butch, and Fired Up

We went on an afternoon trip with Captain John and Todd for our son’s birthday, and we had a very good trip. It was a very warm afternoon in August, and we didn’t catch a lot, but we knew that wasn’t the Captain’s fault. We did catch six Spanish Mackerel, and had more on the line that got away, so the kids were happy with their first outing. John and Todd were very kind and good with the kids, and the boat was great for our group of six. Thank you, Fired Up!

This was our second time doing a half day charter out of CB and the Captain and First Mate were great! Planning the next trip in July 2023!

Even with a little bit of rain it was a blast. Caught lots of fish and the crew and captain were awesome and friendly

Had a great time with the fam! Brought home a lot o fresh fish for dinner!
