- Doug K.9 months agoMy 12 year old daughter ad I Had a great day today with Captain Jody. Unfortunately there are not as many Scallops as most years but that's out of Jody's control. Very friendly and accommodating.
- Joy V.10 months agoCaptain Jody was AMAZING as a Scalloping Guide. We took the VIP extended excursion so visited the springs and many other places for the day. A truly unforgettable trip! Thanks Captain Jody!
- Stuart T.11 months agoCaptain Jody did a great job for us! Highly recommend!
- Ronnie H.1 year agoWe had a great day with Capt. Jody. We knew it would be tough because of the weather that rolled in on us but Capt. Jody put us on the fish! We had a blast and caught a bunch of trout and even a couple lady fish. He was great with my boys and knows what he’s doing. If you’re in the Crystal River / Homosassa area, Capt. Jody will make sure you have a great time and put you on the fish!
- Tom S.1 year agoHad a super morning out on the river with Capt Jody. He was able to find us a few big ole reds and a trout or two. Even doubled up on Redfish which was exciting.That night we enjoyed Redfish a la Jody.
- John R.1 year agoWe went out with Captain Jody in late November 2021 and had an excellent experience. Captain Jody is very knowledgeable of the area, and in spite of the less than optimal cold and cloudy weather conditions, had us on fish all day long. His boat and gear are first rate as well. Would highly recommend for any fishing trip in this area.
- Kip K.1 year agoHad a really nice day fishing with Captain Jody in October 2021. The bite was a tad slow but we still wound up with plenty of trout for the cooler. Captain Jody is friendly, very knowledgeable, and an all around good guy. Would highly recommend!
- Sarah D.1 year agoI'd like to share that he is a true ECO-Friendly-Captain! While heading out to the Gulf for our scalloping trip he veered off course and headed for something only he could see- a water bottle floating away. He asked us to assist him netting it out of the water. I was so impressed that he wanted to do this little gesture.I've chartered with Captain Jody several times and have always been impressed with his knowledge of the area. Youre in good hands!
- Jonah N.1 year agoHad a great time scalloping with Jody! Caught a great lunch and saw plenty of wildlife along the way.
- Kira C.1 year agoHighly recommend Captain Jody! We were stranded in the gulf on the 4th of July and thought for sure we would be stuck for a while. He showed up and helped us back to shore so quick! Give him a call, you won't regret it!
- Alyssa C.1 year agoOut of all the charter captains I have met, he is the most humble, kind, and funnest I have encountered! I will definitely be reaching out again next season!
- evan c.1 year agoBest fishing charter ever, there was more fish out there than the Georgia Aquarium. I’ve never seen a captain so kind than captain Jody.
- Angelo M.1 year agoRan out of gas in the gulf, started calling charter captains and CPT Jody was the guy that willing to bring us out 10 gallons of gas on July 4th to get us home!
- Mikael S.1 year agoMe and my wife had an excellent half day trip fishing with captain Jody!We caught some great trout amongst other things, saw dolphins and manatees! Captain Jody was very friendly, personable and genuine, he really loves what he does and it shows! We can't wait to go back for more trips!
- Chelsea H.2 years agoOur family of 4 had a half day trip with Jody. We appreciated his advice on how to catch our fish. We loved seeing dolphins on the way back! We'll definitely call him next time we're down here to see what we can do next.
- Derek D.2 years agoMy wife and I spent an entire day with Capt. Jody. From start to finish, he absolutely delivered! We started our morning with a manatee encounter. We were able to find a few and had a very nice swim with one. An absolutely incredible experience. After a quick stop at the dock to drop off our wetsuits,we were off to catch some fish. The action was, again, incredible. We landed more fish and species than I was able to keep track of and had a blast doing it. Capt. Jody was informative and personable. Having fished with several other guides, I can say without hesitation that Capt. Jody is top notch. We can’t wait to hit the water with him again!
- Paul C.2 years agoCapt. Jody was amazing! It was my 16 year old son and his best friend and we absolutely loved it! Jody put us on the fish, cleaned them perfectly and we had our first fish fry at home the next day. Absolutely delicious. I highly recommend.
- Juliana S.3 years agoHad a wonderful excursion to swim with the manatees. He knew just the spot, and got there early before too many people were there. A manatee came up to us to have us scratch their belly!
- CARLOS C.4 years agoFun stuff really amazing crew and so many fish to catch! Go for it!
- Carol J.5 years agoWe had a couple of great days with Captain Jody; fishing, manatees and evening cruise! Would love to come back and do it all again!
