Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Misty consistently delivers impressive results, putting clients on redfish, snook, and trout with remarkable precision. Customers regularly catch their limits and report landing keeper-sized fish including 26-inch redfish and personal best bass. Her expertise shines through challenging conditions - even during cold fronts and tough bite days, she adapts quickly by moving spots and adjusting techniques. Multiple anglers praise her ability to navigate shallow waters that larger boats can't access, giving clients exclusive fishing opportunities. Misty creates a welcoming atmosphere that keeps families and experienced anglers coming back for repeat trips. First-time visitors often mention how she worked seamlessly with mixed skill levels, providing patient instruction while maintaining an energetic, fun personality. Parents specifically highlight her natural ability with children, helping young anglers catch their very first fish. Her local knowledge extends beyond fishing - she readily shares recommendations for dining and exploring the area, treating clients like friends rather than just customers.

First time fishing around this area and it was a BLAST!! We had such a fun time and misty is so knowledgeable and a great captain! We got a big snook misty hooked on, doubled up on some redfish, and some Cats. And after all that work, we docked around the sandbar and cooled off! Highly recommend for anybody wanting to have a great time Fishing!

We had a fantastic experience with Captain Misty. January 29th and the water temp was 62 degrees so expecting a slow fishing day for my wife and me. However, she put us on two schools of Reds by moving spots fairly quickly while on the hunt. In the end, we landed 10 Reds and one Gator Trout. Most of the Reds were just under the slot limit but we one 20 inch that came home with us for dinner. She is a knowledgeable guide who knows here spots and how to put you on fish.

We had a great time with Misty! She was very knowledgeable n helped us in every way. I can’t say enough good things about this gal. She did everything you would expect from a fishing guide and more. She knew exactly where to go to find the fish. She has a very kind and caring personality as well as being a smart fisherman‘s guide. We are from the Midwest so we needed fishing tips for this Florida area. She helped us like a friend would. I give Misty a 5 star rating! When we get back to this area we will seek her out for our next fishing charter.

Had a great day today with Captain Misty! The bite was tough because of the cold front, but she still put us on our limit of keeper reds and a couple more to boot! Great experience being out on the water, 10/10 couldn’t recommend more!!!
