Captain Jason is a licensed and insured USCG captain with comprehensive training in boating safety, including CPR and First Aid. Having called Panama City home for the past 30 years, he has been fishing its coastal waters for more than 15 years. Over the last decade, Captain Jason has completed an average of over 100 fishing excursions annually. Beyond his extensive expertise, he is deeply passionate about fishing and dedicated to providing guests with fun and unforgettable experiences. As a father of three (one daughter and two sons), he is particularly skilled at guiding and teaching those new to fishing.
Captain Jason’s philosophy centers on three key principles: prioritizing safety above all, treating the customer as the ultimate authority, and ensuring everyone has a fantastic time on the water.
One guest shared their exceptional experience on a 4-hour morning fishing trip, noting the excellent service and deep knowledge of bait and lures. Although Captain Jason’s son, Dylan, took the helm instead, he proved to be fantastic with two young boys aged 11 and 13, offering valuable fishing lessons. Despite rough ocean conditions and a smaller boat, Captain Dylan confidently took the group into the bay where the fishing was impressive. Highlights included one boy catching a shark, the other landing snappers and a saltwater catfish, and the guest herself reeling in a 42-pound black drum. It was a memorable father-and-sons outing that everyone enjoyed thoroughly.
Another visitor praised their day fishing with Captain Dylan, calling him a true gentleman and expert angler who knows exactly how to find fish. Their fun and productive trip had them eager to recommend him to others looking for a quality fishing experience.
