Had a fabulous 4-hour outing fishing with Wayne today ... lovely day, great fishing, and good company! Thanks, Wayne! We'll definitely be back soon! PS Just had king mackerel for supper. Gorgeous!! Next time, 6 hr for sure.
That’s a pretty perfect day—great fishing, great company, and king mackerel for dinner to top it off! 😄 Captain Wayne will be glad he made it such an enjoyable trip. Sounds like the 4-hour was just the warm-up—we’ll be ready for that 6-hour next time 🎣
We booked this trip for 4 of us for 4 hours and had a fantastic experience. We managed to catch 12 Black Drum and 10+ Red Snapper, which enabled us to cook them on the barbecue for lunch the next day. We found it to be excellent value for money. Wayne was lovely and very accommodating, and we would definitely do this again. We also found that this trip was one of our highlights of our holiday, and we would definitely do it again...!
That’s a fantastic haul—black drum *and* red snapper makes for a pretty great BBQ lineup! Captain Wayne will be glad he made it such an easy and enjoyable trip for you all. Sounds like a holiday highlight for sure. We’ll be ready when you come back for round two 🎣
My 13yo son and I went on a fishing trip on the Private Jacksonville; it was brilliant. The captain, Wayne, was friendly, knowledgeable, and really patient with us (it was our first experience of sea fishing). We caught lots of fish, including 20+ redfish and cobia, learned lots about the local species, & we had a delicious fresh fish dinner at home. It was a perfect introduction to fishing, and we both had a fantastic time. next visit in May holidays
That’s a perfect first sea-fishing experience—20+ fish and a fresh dinner is hard to beat! Captain Wayne will be glad he made it fun, informative, and memorable for both of you. Sounds like you’ve officially caught the fishing bug. We’ll see you again in May 🎣
Move over Captain Jack Sparrow. Wayne made our son's dream come true. A week of bad weather, and on Thursday it broke. Lots of fish were caught, like cobia, king mackerel, black drum, snook, barracuda, and grouper an exciting outing that the children loved. We couldn't recommend this trip more. Thank you, Wayne.
Move over Captain Jack Sparrow indeed—Captain Wayne sounds like the real deal! 😄 We’re so glad the weather turned and delivered such an action-packed day for your son. That’s a catch list to remember for sure. Thanks for the kind words—we’d love to have you back aboard again 🎣
Have been fortunate to go out with Captain Wayne, whose friendly and easy-going manner will try to ensure that you have a great experience, whether it's king mackerel or snook. If you're a novice, the kit is provided with a bit of tuition. The only thing to say is on occasion you may not always get a bite; 4 hours on the water is a pleasant enough experience. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for the kind words—it means a lot! Captain Wayne has a knack for making every trip feel effortless, whether the fish are cooperating or just enjoying the view. Some days the fish keep us humble, but we’re glad the experience still made it worthwhile. Hope to have you back out there for round two 🎣
I've been on Wayne boats for 6 hours and 3 times now and never been disappointed. This trip was no exception, with lots of fish, mostly king mackerel (30+), and a brilliant, relaxed and funny atmosphere. Can't wait to go again in summer!
That’s what we love to hear—three trips and still delivering the goods! Captain Wayne always keeps things fun, and 30+ king mackerel is no small day on the water. We’ll be ready for you this summer to do it all over again (and maybe top that count 😉)
Lovely half-day fishing trip. Great value, and Captain Wayne was great. Beautiful view of Jacksonville from the boat. We caught a big amount of snook. Highly recommended!
So glad you enjoyed the trip—hard to beat snook bites with a skyline view like that! Captain Wayne will be happy to hear he made it a great experience. Thanks for the recommendation, and we’d love to have you back out again soon 🎣
We come to Jacksonville every month, and every time we come, we try and get out with Captain Wayne. It's a lovely way to spend 4 hours with the kids (9 and 12), being able to join in and catch black drum and snook. Catch more fish when the water is warm. See you again, Wayne.
This is exactly how fishing trips should be—family time, bent rods, and great memories! Captain Wayne loves getting everyone involved, especially the kids. Sounds like you’ve got the timing dialed in too with that warm water bite. We’ll see you all again soon out there 🎣
My son and I went on a six-hour trip, and we caught over 40+ fish in 4 hours - a mixture of King Mackerel and mainly Redfish- captain Wayne was friendly and provided lots of simple helpful advice. We enjoyed it so much that we took our two little grandchildren and the rest of the family fishing, and they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the relaxed atmosphere. We caught another 8 Barracuda, and we have had quite a few meals of excellent fresh fish as a result.
That sounds like an incredible run—40+ fish and a family encore trip is hard to beat! Captain Wayne does a great job keeping things fun while making sure everyone’s reeling them in. Nothing better than turning a day on the water into fresh meals and lasting memories. We’ll be ready when the whole crew is back again 🎣
We arranged a fishing trip for five of us at the same time. Wayne is a lovely guy, very friendly and knowledgeable; he guided us to a good place for catching King Mackerel. We had plenty of fun and enough fish for lunch. We can recommend these fishing trips as a perfect way to enjoy a bit of fresh air. An easy five ***** Wayne!!! See you again soon. :-)
That’s an easy five stars right back at you — Wayne will love this 😄 I’m glad he put you on the king mackerel and you left with lunch sorted. Fresh air, good company, and bent rods is the perfect combo. Thanks so much, and we’ll see you again soon!
