Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Stephen Hess consistently delivers impressive fishing results, with guests regularly catching multiple species including King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Black Snapper, and Bonita. One family landed 32 fish during their 4-hour trip, while Stephen expertly navigated around storms to keep lines in the water when other boats headed to dock. His local knowledge shines through as he stays persistent during slow bites, constantly searching new spots and communicating with other guides to find the action. Stephen's genuine care for his guests creates memorable experiences beyond just catching fish. He takes time to call families before trips, even chatting with excited kids about fishing, and maintains contact about weather conditions so everyone feels prepared. His relaxed pace with first-time charter guests and spotless, well-organized boat setup show attention to detail that customers appreciate. Families especially praise his patience and kindness with children, while repeat bookings demonstrate the lasting impression he makes on anglers of all experience levels.

This fishing trip was an amazing experience! When booking for my family of four (with kids ages 9 and 13), I had a lot of questions, and before we even confirmed, Captain Steve took the time to call and answer everything—he even chatted with my youngest about fishing, which made him so excited. Leading up to the trip, he kept in touch about the weather, making sure we were comfortable and ready to go, and thankfully, we made it out. His patience and kindness with kids are truly outstanding, and he made the day fun, safe, and memorable for all of us. Steve’s knowledge and easygoing nature made everything better, and I can’t recommend him enough—especially for families. Thank you, Captain Steve!

My wife, 10-year-old son, and I booked the 4-hour Captain's Choice trip. The weather looked rough leading up to the trip, but then cleared just in time. The captain held off on canceling because the weather here can be unpredictable. We set off with a light drizzle, which stopped after about 30 minutes, and the day turned out beautiful. We were one of the few boats in the bay and started trolling, catching 6 Spanish Mackerel and 2 Black Snapper. Then, we headed out to the gulf, where we had an incredible time landing King Mackerel, more Spanish Mackerel, and Bonita. By the end of the 4 hours, we caught 32 fish in total! Captain Wayde was knowledgeable and a pleasure to fish with. We highly recommend this charter!

We had a fantastic time chartering with Captain Stephen. Since it was our first charter, he took things at a relaxed pace, which made the experience even better. Trolling through the waters of PCB, we caught some great fish and enjoyed the day. The boat was spotless, and Captain Stephen had everything prepared for us. I really appreciated how quickly he responded to all my questions and concerns. Highly recommend the 3-hour trip for beginners looking to get a taste of charter fishing!

Captain Stephen took us to multiple spots, allowing us to catch a variety of fish during a fun half-day of fishing. He was an excellent captain for our group, even navigating us around a storm so we could keep fishing while other boats headed back to the dock. Everyone had a fantastic time, and I highly recommend this trip!
