Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Ryan consistently delivers exceptional fishing results, with customers regularly catching limits of redfish, speckled trout, and drum fish. One group landed an impressive 23 fish in a single trip, while another angler with 40 years of experience called it the best fishing day ever. Ryan's local knowledge shines as he navigates to prime spots where other guides struggle, often putting multiple anglers on fish simultaneously. His expertise helps customers fill coolers even on challenging weather days when competing charters come back empty-handed. Ryan's dedication to customer service creates memorable experiences beyond just catching fish. He handles all the details so guests can focus purely on fishing, providing top-notch equipment and maintaining an immaculate boat with ample space. Customers appreciate his warm personality, informative guidance, and relentless work ethic - he never stops searching until everyone is catching fish. Families especially enjoy his patient teaching style and ability to make beginners feel confident on the water.

I took my son on his 10th birthday fishing trip. with my other son 12 and my father 75. We have fished all over the world. But this day was something special. Ryan is the MAN. All i can say is we left the boat and booked another trip. Fishing was incredible, but more so Ryan and his way of creating an experience was what made the day it was. Plus we caught so many good fish it was so fun!

Captain Ryan put us on the fish. My first cast,first red was one of my top three personal bests, in the 25 plus (lbs not inches) range. We had to toss lots of over the slot reds to get a limit, with several keeper trout in the mix. Just a great trip!!! Thank you Captain Ryan!!!

This was my first fishing trip with my wife and 2 boys. It was a great experience and can’t wait to do it again with Captain Ryan. He was a great host and got us our limits on trout in the first hour and we also limited out on drum.

Had an awesome time out on the water with Capt Ryan! It wasn’t the easiest day for fishing, but Ryan worked hard to put us on the fish and it paid off. While we heard some other guides didn’t land any keepers, we ended the day with a cooler full! Great attitude, knowledgeable, and didn’t stop grinding until we were on them. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a captain who puts in the effort to make the trip a success!

This was BY FAR the best fishing experience I have ever had! Ive been fishing for over 40 years and have never caught so many fish on one trip! Ryan was knowledgable and very experienced, we did not just sit around and wait to get a bite, Ryan knew where to go to catch fish! At one point all 3 of us had a fish on our lines! Great experience and we are getting ready to book again! Thank you Ryan!

Had a great experience on a tough day with Capt. Ryan. He really made an effort to search for the fish and put us on some good ones. Would highly recommend him to anyone searching for a charter.

Our fishing trip kept us occupied throughout our tour. Ryan McCain was dedicated and made sure to keep us on as much fish as possible to keep us busy. We caught multiple fish, some keepers and many catch and release. Ryan was patient and helpful and work hard and diligent to find fish for us. He cleaned and filleted our fish to enjoy later. We would recommend Ryan and would definitely use him again.

Captain Ryan put my son and I on a ton of fish!!! He took care of everything. All i had to worry about was getting fish to the boat. He is knowledgeable of the area and knew exactly where to take us to hook into some lunkers! If you are looking for a fun day of fishing on the bay, I highly recommend Captain Ryan.
