What anglers say about our Stock Island fishing Charters
Mark Burk Jr.Verified Boatload of fish John and Steven are the best around Key West. Been out with lots of people and these are guys are the best I have seen. AmyBVerified Look No Further! Captain John is the Man of the Keys! Been chasing a bull shark for 12 years, several guides and thousands of dollars. Captain John made it happen. Exceptional customer service and knowledge. If you're looking to make your dream catch happen hes just the man to do it! ***** Jeff SVerified You will NOT be disappointed What a great couple days of fishing. We are from Wisconsin and fish charters quite often. John is knowledgeable, catches fish, and just a fun guy to be around. We caught our limit of snapper and some yellow tail and the next day we did some sport fishing and caught a tarpon!! Thanks John, we will be back. Dave GVerified Fantastic Fishing!! We were struggling to find a charter we could trust. Some of the websites wanted us to give them our credit card and then they would tell us, after we paid, who our Captain was! Finally someone we trusted said go with John and they were right. He's professional, he put us on fish, he limited the catch to preserve the future which is a rare quality in Charter Captains these days, and he gave us all two great days on the water. I cannot recommend him strongly enough. We're definitely coming back. Racheal WVerified Fantastically Memorable!! We had a fantastic time fishing with Captain John! He and his first mate, Blake, went out of their way to try and help us catch as many fish as possible! They were knowledgeable and a LOT of fun! The only recommendation we have is to make sure you book either a 6-hour or full day charter. You will NOT regret it!! We say 5+ stars!!! James VVerified Phenomenal trip Communication was great, John wasn’t able to take us out because his wife and he were having a baby (congratulations) but John called his partner Zack to take us out on Sunday because weather was horrible Saturday. Zack was waiting on us at the dock we loaded our items and away we went. My wife and I fish more than most people so we were no strangers to being on the water, but we have never caught what we were searching for, Zack assured us that he would try his best to find our species. Sure enough we followed the birds offshore and by the grace of Fish Gods we spotted i floating log!!!!!! That was the blessing that captain Zack was searching for!!! Zack set out our trolling rigs and with in minutes they were hooked up and my wife had caught her first ever mahi dolphin!!! After that we caught fish after fish and I even caught the biggest Mahi of the year on this boat a 15lber?. We headed in and captain Zack had our dolphin all cleaned in bags and on ice! Captain Zack is a hard core true captain that works his tail off for his clients! I highly recommend these guys for your boating experience. Amanda CVerified Great Experience! Great way to experience several different types of fishing while in Key West. Guide is very knowledgeable. Highly recommended! alpha37Verified "Top Notch!" Top Notch.....professional, experienced, knowledgeable... Capt John and 1st Mate Steve, made the trip! I think even if we didn't catch a mountain of fish (Bull Shark's, Mutton's, Barracuda's, Mahi-mahi's, Spade's, a ton of bait-fish, oh and an Moray eel) the trip would have been a success. At one point myself and all three of my Boy's where reeling in Mahi-mahi. Thanks for the memories guy's cant wait to do it again! Eric CVerified Great time, great crew My friends and I really enjoyed our fishing trip! Captain John and Steve were fun, professional and very happy to help make sure our trip was memorable and exciting. We hit up a few different spots and tried several fishing styles. We caught plenty of fish and had a truly wonderful experience. Highly recommend Johnny HVerified Amazing time ! Captain John and his first mate were absolutely amazing. Super knowledgeable and made my first deep sea fishing trip truly something to remember. Caught a ton of dolphin and had a great time. I will definitely plan another trip and would highly recommend him to everyone.
