Daniel Ingrao5.0VerifiedFishing Frenzy!
4hr trip on July 22, 2026 • 2 adultsNot once but at two different locations we hooked a fish on the first cast-Unreal! James knows his stuff and is a great guy. The first spot we hit we hooked well over a dozen. With fishing I know there is never a guarantee but with James I feel like you have a better shot than most. My daughter and I had a blast. James answered all questions and provided info on the area which was beautiful. 10/10
Hunter HarrisonRepeat angler5.0Verifiedgreat trip

Jairus DolfiRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat time on the river!
4hr trip on April 1, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had a great time on the Halifax River with Captain James. He took us around to multiple spots to try our luck. We took home a flounder, which Captain James filleted for us. Captain James did a great job guiding me and my 13 year old son.
Jade Mcquinn5.0VerifiedGreat time!

James was a great captain, he safely operates his boat while maintaining good communication. You’re not guaranteed to catch fish but with his local knowledge we were fortunate to find snook, trout, and tarpon. If a spot isn’t producing bites he will eagerly switch to other options. James was great with younger kids as well. Look forward to our next trip with James!

He knew all the good spots to fish and was very knowledgeable about the area. He was helpful and patient with kids. Will definitely reach back out to him when we are back in the area! He even filleted the fish that we caught.
