Great fishing Charter What can I say? The best charter boat in my eyes. Justin, the captain alone, is enough to reach the fish to your hand. and he knows perfectly how to hook plenty of largemouth bass, a first-class fishing experience.

Best day ever Captain Justin filled a life long dream for me. He took us out and put me and my son on more than 5 trophy fish when nobody else was catching fish. If I can go again I will only book with him. He treated us like family, THANK CAPT JUSTIN FOR ONE OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE.

Captain Justin was Excellent! My wife and I had a terrific experience. Captain Justin is very knowledgeable on locating fish and determining what lures, bait, and techniques to use to land the fish. The boat and equipment were in perfect condition. But most of all Captain Justin was very attentive to our needs and our expectations of how we envisioned our fishing trip.

Great Fishing Experience Me and a high school buddy of mine booked a two-day 6 hours each day cruise with Captain Justin April 1 & 2. We were both very happy with his personal service and his modern and well-maintained fishing equipment. On the first day he took us to a place where the bass fishing was exceptional. I'm guessing we caught somewhere between 30-40 bass - the biggest being a 24-inch 7 1/2-pound lunker. On the second day the winds were blowing too hard to go out on the open lake, but he took us to a sheltered place where the fishing was almost as good as the previous day. I want to say that I am a handicapped person with serious sciolous in my lower back. Captain Justin went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable and safe while travelling, boarding and exiting the boat. Captain Justin is personable and professional guide, and I would highly recommend you trust him to make your fishing date on Lake Okeechobee a memorable one.
