Has a great time fishing with my son on a long awaited delayed Fathers Day trip. All kinds of fish were caught and kept including Black Drum, Redfish, Speckled trout and flounders. Released quite a huge Red fish. Good times!!

He’s a great guy and a lot of fun to be on the boat with. We caught more bull reds than I ever expected. I fished with three different captains on this trip, and he’s the one I’d choose to go with again.

I’ve been fishing since I was old enough to hold a rod, and I’m no stranger to saltwater fishing. This past weekend, I took my wife, two daughters, and son on a three-day trip with Captain Jay—and I can’t say enough good things. Hands down, it was the best charter experience of my life. Captain Jay’s knowledge of the waters and the Bayou is unmatched. He knew exactly where the fish were and how to put us on them. For three days straight, we limited out—catching red snapper, redfish, speckled trout, black drum, Spanish mackerel, flounder, and even a sheepshead, with the occasional shark thrown in for excitement. My wife and kids had a true lifetime experience and got to see the real Louisiana Bayou. I’d recommend Captain Jay to anyone, anytime, without hesitation. Thank you, Captain Jay, for giving my family and me an unforgettable adventure.

Capt. Jay had us on fish right from the start. We caught at least 30 redfish and even more trout, all without much ride time. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great trip.

He put us on plenty of great-sized reds during an amazing 8-hour trip. He knows the water inside and out—10/10 would recommend. Super chill, knowledgeable captain with great stories.

J is an outstanding captain—friendly, professional, and dedicated to putting you on the fish. He goes above and beyond to make sure every trip is enjoyable. As an avid sport fisherman who books charters regularly, I can honestly say he’s top-notch and stands out among the best.

Jay was fantastic from start to finish! We brought our two boys, ages 14 and 11, and they had an incredible day on the water. The boat was clean, spacious, and comfortable, allowing all of us to fish at the same time. Jay took us to three different spots where we quickly limited out on redfish. We also caught black drum and sheepshead. Even after reaching our limit, Jay let us continue fishing for catch-and-release, and we ended up reeling in about 30 more reds! My 14-year-old son even caught a 22-pound black drum! Jay was personable, patient, and made the trip so much fun. Thank you, Jay, for giving us such a memorable family fishing experience! We can't wait to come back and fish with you again. It was truly an unforgettable trip!

Captain Jay got us on the fish! While others were having a tough time, we had an incredible day. We filled the boat with redfish (even some bull reds), flounder, sheepshead, and a variety of other species. It was a 5-star experience all around. Thanks, Captain Jay!
