Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Daniel Powell consistently delivers exceptional fishing results with his deep expertise in bottom fishing techniques and species-specific knowledge.

Absolutely wonderful. Went out for Tuna but they hadn’t come super close in yet so we took advantage of the bottom fishing. There is no one better in the industry than Daniel Powell at bottom fishing. Absolutely recommend and look forward to rebooking with him. My wife is a disabled veteran and he made her feel very accommodated.

This is the second time my 10 year old daughter has been out with Daniel. He is extremely understanding and beyond patient. He and his mate, Zach, are excellent watermen. To say they will put you on fish is an understatement! If you are looking for an amazing trip, this is the boat you want. Thanks again Daniel and Zach. Y’all rock.

Dan and his mate, Zack, were friendly and very attentive. Though the seas were unexpectedly rough, they kept things positive and ensured we still caught fish, even with the challenging conditions.

Daniel and Zach were a pleasure to fish with! Although it took a little time to find the fish, they stayed upbeat, were so helpful, and kept us all engaged, especially our two teenage grandsons. Once we started getting bites, they were quick to assist, making sure we reeled them in and had a blast! Full of knowledge and great conversation, they were especially encouraging to our boys. We’ll definitely book with them again!

My husband, son and brother in law took the charter yesterday and couldn’t have had a better time! My 9 year old said it was the best day of his life! They had non stop action and for his first time deep sea fishing, we couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you so much and would recommend to anyone considering taking a charter out!
