When booking this trip, I messaged JD and said I was interested in catching fish to eat. Once on the water, We started trolling and had our first Spanish mackerel within 10 minutes, shortly after we caught our first King, what a pleasant surprise!!

We had an unforgettable day deep sea fishing! We caught plenty of snappers and groupers, plus a Spanish mackerel, squirrel fish, and even a triggerfish. Along the way, we were treated to amazing sights — dolphins swimming nearby, a graceful sea turtle, crabs, and even squid.

We highly recommend... Meer

I took my wife and son out with Captain JD for a 6 hour fishing excursion and we had the most memorable day on the water anyone could ssk for. It was a tremendous blessing for us to spend this time together and make a memory we will all remember the rest of our lives. Thank you JD for all your hard work to ensure we had a good time. If youre thinking about doing it, this is your sign to just do it.
