John knew where the fish were with scary accuracy.  We were catching fish within minutes of starting.  We fished three spots and had strikes at all three locations.  John is very personable, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The gear he provided was top quality.  The boat was clean and well maintained.  John cleaned and fileted our catch for us and sent us on our way with smiles and handshakes all around.  I HIGHLY recommend John.

We were signed up for an inshore trip. John proactively reached out to us the night before and said the fishing had been a little tough the past few days and wanted to know if we would be open to going 30 minutes offshore. We agreed to that and were not disappointed.

I asked if we could find some fish that pull hard for my 19 and 16 year old kids and he delivered. We were into fish almost instantly and it continued that way for the entire trip. We were all exhausted from fighting fish. My kids both said that was one of the funnest things they had ever done.

John went above and beyond and was also very personable and enjoyable to be around.  He went out early that morning and caught us plenty of bait so that we could stay fishing the entire time. We couldn’t recommend him more.

Within 5 minutes I knew this was going to be an excellent trip.  Captain John was personal and approachable.  His boat is set up to catch fish and he was prep’d with bait and tackle. We caught fish!!! We caught big fish!!!  Captain John knows the waters and where to take his clients. He also provides the subtle things… such as music. His Playlist was on point. The conversation was on point. And the excitement to see his client hook up was on point!!  His boat is set up to catch fish.  No gimmicks, just straight up local fishing knowledge. I WILL FISH WITH CAPT JOHN AGAIN!!!

We booked the 4-hour morning In-shore trip. Boating the Jupiter Inlet past all the magnificent shoreline mansions and their yachts (some with four 400 HP motors) made for a interesting and scenic trip. Capt John was very knowledgeable as to where the good fishing spots were and had entertaining stories about local places & people - even the ‘grumpies’.  All the gear was new and his boat was spotless.
We used shrimp for live bait and caught a variety of fish - sheephead, sand pike and yellowtail snapper. Capt John fileted all of our fish, which we took to a U Hook It, We Cook It restaurant.
As many previous reviews have stated, we highly recommend Capt John’s Florida East Coast Fishing for a very productive as well as entertaining trip.

We had the pleasure of chartering with Captain John for the first time this past weekend, and even though the weather took a turn for the worse—cold, windy, and rainy—he made it an unforgettable experience! Captain John’s expertise truly shone through as he managed to find us fish despite the challenging conditions. His professionalism and knowledge were evident every step of the way, and his charm and upbeat attitude kept our spirits high.

It’s clear that Captain John is passionate about what he does, and his dedication to ensuring we had a great trip was unmatched. We can’t wait to book another charter with him—hopefully under sunnier skies! Highly recommend Captain John to anyone looking for an exceptional fishing trip.
