Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Andrew consistently delivers exceptional fishing results across diverse Florida Keys waters, from inshore Everglades backcountry to offshore reefs. Customers regularly catch bull sharks, tarpon, snook, snapper, grouper, and permit under his expert guidance. Andrew catches fresh live bait each morning rather than using frozen options, maximizing success rates. His generational knowledge of Key Largo waters means no GPS needed - he navigates to productive spots passed down through his family. Andrew creates memorable experiences for every angler, from nervous first-timers to seasoned fishermen. Families especially appreciate his patience with children, teaching casting techniques and keeping everyone engaged. He handles all the work - baiting hooks, untangling lines, filleting catches - while maintaining great conversation throughout the trip. Customers consistently rebook at the dock and return year after year, with many calling it their best charter experience ever.

This was the 3rd year my son and I have joined Andrew for a trip. We have fished inshore and caught snook and speckled trout. We have gone offshore, fishing reefs, and caught Spanish mackerel, barracuda, jack craval, grouper, and a variety of snapper. Being experienced anglers, we understand "fishing is fishing". Sometimes you catch them and sometimes you don't. Last year our goal was to catch a trophy tarpon. However, the wind during the previous few days turned the water into a murky mess. Andrew, being the professional he is, adapted and made the trip enjoyable. Andrew is a local. He knows the keys! He is a family man. He is ethical. He works harder than any guide we have fished with. He is personable. And most of all he is a genuinely good person. He is our go to guy for our salt water ventures in Florida

Captain Andrew was great, we only booked the 2 hour tour but were able to catch several fish to take home, including a 4.5 ft Barracuda, which was fun to catch.
