Although I didn’t catch my first Tarpon yet, fishing with Captain JP was amazing. JP worked extremely hard in very rough conditions to try and find some cooperative fish. He fished overtime for me at no additional cost and was extremely knowledgeable about Florida’s entire ecosystem. I’m hoping to get back next year and if I do I will certainly book Captain JP again. He is a great guide and a gentleman and went above and beyond my expectations of what most guides are willing to do for their... Meer

I have done 20+ charters in the keys and this was without a doubt one of the very best. Booked a very last minute trip with my 8 year old son. Jon was super flexible on timing to accommodate us. We booked a 2 hour trip that turned into a 6 hour trip. Both my son and I had an incredible time. Jon is also a biologist and knows a TON about the ecosystem which is very cool. the boat is in excellent condition and unlike too many other charters he uses great tackle. Twin power... Meer

This was absolutely the fish theme trip of a lifetime.

Once again, fishing trip of a lifetime. I... Meer

I touched base with Jon-Paul prior to the trip to see if my son and I might be able to target a few different types of fish and he worked his tail off trying to deliver. We really wanted to get some mangrove snapper and trout to take to a restaurant and we had no problem getting that done. Snook were a challenge for us but it wasn’t due to lack of effort. We saw plenty of fish but no takers. He was also able to put us on some juvenile Goliath grouper which was a blast. My son really wanted to... Meer

The day of our charter was only about 50 degrees starting out and unfavorable conditions. However, Captain Jon-Paul was able to get us on fish and we ended up taking plenty for the evenings meal. We never got on the target species but had a blast anyway! I would happily book again!
