Fantastic experience. We don’t fish that often, but it didn’t feel like it. John did a great job of getting us on the fish and keeping us on the fish. He was exceptional with our seven-year-old. Can’t wait to go back and do it again, and John will be our captain!

Great time, John took us to several spots and put us on the fish and we caught several types. Great person and was so funny and explaining everything was just some of the things we enjoyed with him. if you want a amazing guide John does this twice a day and is a professional at what he does.

Really awesome experience with Captain Skunkbeard. His exciting passion and down to earth personality made our fishing trip absolutely enjoyable and memorable for all of us. Easily would recommend this.

John was a great host. He kept us engaged the whole trip. John had a ton of knowledge about the area and the fish we would be catching. We caught so many different fish we forgot the count! Dolphins and Manatees everywhere lol. Thank you again, John, for the great time and great convo.
