Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain David brings 23 years of experience to every Backwater Fishing Adventures trip, consistently putting clients on productive fishing spots throughout Jacksonville's backcountry waters. Customers regularly catch multiple species in single outings - redfish, flounder, snapper, trout, and sea bass are common targets. David excels as both guide and instructor, helping anglers improve their casting technique and adjust methods for different species' bite behaviors. Many trips result in impressive variety, with some customers landing 9 different fish species in 6 hours. David's patient teaching approach makes him especially effective with children and novice anglers, while his professional fish cleaning service and recommendations for nearby restaurants to cook the catch add convenience to every trip. Customers appreciate his punctual communication, immaculate boat condition, and safety-focused navigation between fishing locations. Families particularly enjoy his ability to keep young anglers engaged and learning throughout the experience.

This is our second year with captain Dave and we didn’t think it could get better than the first one, but it did!!! He put us on fish the entire time. Between my husband and I, we together probably caught 20-30 fish but we lost count. We will definitely be booking another trip.

We had a great trip. Will certainly look to book again in the future. The captain put us on a lot of fish and challenged us to stay on them and catch as many as we could. It was a great day on the water.

Captain David was a great teacher and took us to a couple of different spot .We felt very safe while traveling because of his experience. We caught a variety of fish and we were also provided with drinks and plenty of bait. We learned a lot just from 4 hours on his boat. He also showed us an easy and great way to fillet the fish. I definitely recommend this trip to anyone.

Before our fishing adventure, the captain and I had effective communication. We met punctually, and he exhibited exceptional courtesy and professionalism. The boat was immaculate, and all equipment was in optimal condition. Although our catch fell below the allowed FL measurements for keeping, the captain promptly unhooked and released them. In our quest for more rewarding fish, he navigated to different locations. Despite not landing any large fish for photos, we did manage to catch two flounder and one sea bass of allowable size. The captain skillfully filleted them upon our return to port, and they became a delicious dinner that evening.

Excellent journey. We were fishing within minutes of leaving the dock and were soon on fish. Captain David served as a patient advisor for technique adjustment, which is especially important given the differences in bite behavior among the target species. Not bad for a day just a few days after Hurricane Ian blew through!
