Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Mitch consistently delivers exceptional fishing results with his sharp eye for productive spots and precise bait selection. Customers regularly limit out on speckled sea trout, with many catching personal records including beautiful 21-inchers. His lifelong knowledge of the bay ensures anglers target trout in shallow shoals and grassy areas, often requiring multiple bait replenishments due to constant action. Even in less-than-ideal water conditions, Mitch skillfully guides guests to the fish. Customers quickly bond with Mitch's welcoming personality and entertaining storytelling throughout the trip. He accommodates fishing styles guests prefer most, often extending half-day charters when the action stays hot. Families with kids aged 11-13 have memorable experiences, while seasoned travelers praise his expertise for first-time Florida visitors. Guests consistently return home with abundant catches for multiple dinners and eagerly book repeat trips within months.

Captain Mitch did an excellent job. The conditions made fishing a bit challenging, but he still found productive spots for us. My son landed a beautiful 29” redfish, and we had a fantastic trip overall.

Captain Mitch was outstanding. Even with tougher conditions, he worked hard to find productive water, and it paid off. My son landed a gorgeous 29” redfish, and we ended up having a fantastic day on the water.

Mitch was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. We had a great time fishing the bay, and my 10-year-old and I loved the entire experience—riding on the boat, watching dolphins and huge turtles, and catching fish and sharks. Mitch was friendly, patient, and wonderful with kids.

Captain Mitch made us feel right at home and let us fish in the style we were most comfortable with. He had a sharp eye for where the fish were and exactly what they were biting on. As soon as the action slowed down, he had another productive spot lined up without missing a beat. We originally booked a half-day charter, but he generously cleared his afternoon to let us keep fishing as long as we wanted. We caught a wide variety of species and limited out on speckled sea trout, including a beautiful 21-incher. Huge thanks to Captain Mitch—I'll be back in about two months for another round!

Captain Mitch was fantastic! We began catching fish right from the first cast. Opting for a full-day trip, we enjoyed plentiful catches throughout the day. We even had to replenish our bait supplies twice, fishing until we exhausted our bait the third time. I wholeheartedly endorse Florida Cracker Charters. Mitch, if you happen to come across this, "Thank you once again for everything!"

This bay fishing trip marked our debut in these waters, as opposed to offshore excursions. We thoroughly appreciated the unique experience of bay fishing, targeting Spotted Sea Trout amidst shallow shoals and grassy areas. Surpassing our expectations, we reeled in much more than anticipated. Captain Mitch's expertise ensured we had a memorable and truly remarkable day—truly a wonderful experience here in the Cape!
