Ben at Whitneys recommended Capt. Jacob for a charter trip. Jacob was an awesome guide, putting us on lots of active fish all the while answering my many questions with patience. I highly recommend Capt. Jacob for your next fishing adventure.

We loved this spot! The lady there was kind and helpful on helping with fishing questions. She told us the best places to fish, what hook and bait to use, and how far out to cast. Her recommended spots helped us catch 2 catfish and 1 hammerhead SHARK!
