My wife, 18 year old son and I had a fun morning fishing with Captain Cristian (John’s brother). We didn’t manage to catch any keepers but my wife landed a massive stingray and son got to fight a huge tarpon for a while until it bit thru the line. Cristian was great. He was lightning quick baiting, changing gear etc and brought us all around to different spots. We’d definitely go again.

Captain John called the night before suggesting a later start to hit better fishing. We had no problem with that. Weather was very calm so we ran out to some open water over structure Capt John had gps’ed this was an unexpected part of the day. Caught lots snapper and blue runners. headed into coast line and fished a channel, too many dolphins   chasing the fish away. Ran further in and my wife caught a snook and 15# Goliath grouper, both released. Kept 6 snapper for meals the rest of our trip.
It was a great day, well worth it.

Me and my seven year old went out for a half day with captain John.  He was extremely knowledgeable of the area, very patient with my son and put us right on the fish.  We even got a baby bonnet head shark at the end.  Caught tons of sheepshead which was a blast.  Would recommend John any day.  We will be seeking him out next time we are in the area.

I have been on 25 plus charters, from Hawaii to the Atlantic of North Carolina and Captain John is by far the best Captain I have used. Not only is he great company but he is very knowledgeable about the mangroves and the species of fish we are aiming for. Captain John is highly recommended.

Been on numerous charters before but this is probably one that has stood out the most for me. Captain John was awesome with everything we did. You could really tell he wanted you to catch fish. My girlfriend came as well and she had never fished before. John was extremely patient with her and helped throughout the day. She ended up having an incredible time as well.

Ended up catching a variety of fish. Trout, jack, snapper, shook, and several other types. Even had a tarpon hooked at one point which was an incredible experience. Would highly recommend Captain Jack for a charter. Very professional and I could tell he really went out of his way to make the experience memorable and great. Definitely plan on booking him again next time we’re on Marco Island.
