Captain JW, a South Texas native, has had a lifelong passion for fishing on the water. He takes great pleasure in sharing this enthusiasm with others. He strongly believes that the best way to catch fish is to keep your line in the water, so he always ensures you have a baited hook ready to go. Whether it’s trolling toward your destination, bottom fishing, sight casting, or jigging, Captain JW’s expertise shines through. Alongside his deckhand AJ, they provided an exceptional experience, helping us land plenty of fish. Their friendly and attentive nature made the trip unforgettable, offering an engaging and interactive atmosphere for everyone onboard. Both JW and AJ were dedicated to finding fish and delivering a fun outing. We had a fantastic time and can confidently recommend this crew. The mate Jeremiah also served as an excellent host with a wealth of knowledge. We look forward to our next adventure with this top-tier team—an outstanding five-star fishing excursion!

This 8-hour charter gives you the opportunity to troll in deep waters targeting exciting species such as Wahoo, King Mackerel, Cobia, Red Snapper, and many others. Deeper waters also provide excellent bottom fishing for prized catches like amberjack and various types of grouper. However, with just 8 hours, there is limited time to fully enjoy both trolling and bottom fishing during the same trip. For anglers wanting a combination of both, Captain JW recommends booking the 10-hour trip for a more comprehensive experience.
