Captain Jimbo’ is phenomenal , he kept us on the show all day long,. and his first mate Blake on the Lady Raye never stopped working. Jimbo continually monitoring his bottom machine in direct communication to his first mate who tended to All of us on board ,, from baiting hooks, changing gear icing the fish down in layers explaining everything that we were targeting on that drop! And helping us with the fight. Made the day! I will be going out again with them and with this knowledgeable crew I would recommend that you do as well. 5 Stars!

Best charter boat! best Captain! Best Hand man! Captain Jimbo
This trip was awsome! Drove all the way from SE NM to come and fish with these guys. Todd and Brian did a great job. We did a 12 hour fishing trip and we caught lots of fish and had lots of fun. Would recommend this fishing charter to anyone
Captain Jeff and James are amazing! We went out on The Game Changer! Very nice, clean boat. We went on a 8 hour fishing trip. James took very good care of all 7 of us. Captain Jeff put us on the fish and if it was slow we would move to another area. Caught a variety of fish and we had them cleaned and bagged for our trip home to enjoy the fish at home with our friends.

We love our annual trip fishing with Capt. Bryan Jones that always takes care of us, and best deck man ever Todd keeps everyone with everything they need and working hard to catch all we can with the time we are out.
