Robert Watson5.0VerifiedNewamazing experience
4 Hour Trip (AM) on October 15, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childCaptain John took me and my two boys (10 and 13 yo) out. He took care of everything! John had the perfect amount of chill versus instruction for the family. We hit a hot spot and caught 4 different species! At one point we each had a “fish on” at the same time and landed all three! Amazing experience, highly recommend! row
Travis MarquessRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAwesome Day of Fishing
4 Hour Trip (AM) on December 3, 2025 • 2 adultsAs if catching a ton of fish was not enough, Capt John was amazing. I have done a ton of charters and there is always the chance of catching or not catching, but one thing remains constant regardless. You couldn’t ask for a better host/ captain to spend the day with. That is what I enjoy and is important to me. And Capt John is right up there with the top Captains I have ever went out with. Oh, btw we caught over 25 peacocks and also some largemouth and crappie. Thanks John. Keep up the good work and will definitely be coming back to go out with you fishing in the future.
Taya Cicchetti5.0VerifiedSo much fun!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 27, 2026 • 4 adultsWe did a 4 hour trip with Captain John. We have teenaged twin boys who had a blast. We caught many fish and saw different parts of Delray Beach. Captain John is very knowledgeable, not only about the fish and the lake but also about the wildlife. He is an expert! He is also very patient and helpful if you are new to fishing. We highly recommend!
Austin Hayes5.0Verifiedfantastic charter
6 Hour Trip on July 8, 2026 • 3 adultswe had a amazing day on the water, tried for peacocks in the morning but unfortunately due to high water we couldnt get any but capt immediately switched gears and put us on the snakehead almost instantly, cant wait to come back again and hopefully catch even more
Bryan Tomon5.0VerifiedCaught everything we wanted to
6 Hour Trip on June 15, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain john was extremely knowledgeable. He got us on fish right away. We caught mayan cichlid, peacock bass, clown knife fish, and a bullseye snakehead. My girlfriend is new to fishing and Captain john helped get her on fish! Would highly recommend booking a trip with him!
Derrel KirklandRepeat angler4.7VerifiedCouple exotics checked off the bucket list!!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 19, 2026 • 4 adultsHad a great time aboard Capt. John’s boat! First time fishing for South Florida exotics and Capt. John put us on several Mayan Cichlids and peacock bass! My son caught a nice Peacock which was the highlight of the trip! Capt. John had plenty of live bait on board for us and kept fresh bait on our hooks all morning!
Carol Bernstein5.0VerifiedApril fishing trip
2 Hour Trip on April 10, 2026 • 2 adultsI took my 13 year old grandson out today on Captain John’s boat, and he caught 3 hybrid stripers with his first 3 casts. After that he caught one more, and then we changed locations and he caught a clown knife fish. Beautiful morning of fishing, Captain John was a great guide and very knowledgeable and kind . Couldn’t have hoped for a better fishing experience!
Jennifer Muntean5.0VerifiedAwesome Experience
4 Hour Trip (AM) on November 24, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 childJohn was a phenomenal guide. It’s obvious he grew up fishing Lake Ida. He knew all the right spots and gave us excellent tips. We caught both species we were looking for — peacock bass and clown knife fish!! Our teen was thrilled! Couldn’t have been a better experience. Don’t hesitate booking a tour with John!
