jackAiIconJack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Sloan Smith consistently puts clients on productive fishing spots, targeting redfish, mangrove snapper, trout, and ladyfish across multiple bay locations. Customers regularly report limiting out within an hour when conditions align, though Sloan works hard even on challenging days when fish aren't cooperating. His local knowledge shines as he moves between productive areas, and several reviews mention his ability to locate huge reds for trophy seekers. Sloan creates memorable experiences for families, with multiple parents praising his patience with children and beginners. One father highlighted how his 10-year-old landed the first keeper on their boat trip, while another noted Sloan kept two boys engaged throughout the day. Even during tough fishing conditions with rain and storms, customers appreciate his entertaining personality and professional effort. Clients consistently book return trips and recommend Sloan to other anglers.

Because it rained on us three times, we weren't able to catch all we wanted. However, Captain Sloan was a cool, entertaining company. The fish were there, but they weren't particularly biting that day. Without a doubt, I'd return; highly recommended!

Capt Sloan put us on the redfish. Limited in an hour of fishing then took us hunting to other bays to find trout. Very knowledgeable and respectful.

Our early-morning fishing trip was fantastic. It was my 10 yr old kids 1st trip on a boat fishing and he landed the first keeper fish of the day. The captain knows his stuff, and the ocean and vista were fantastic. all the while moving us to locations with fish. Excellent experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone, fishing enthusiast or not. You are in capable hands.

Today's fishing was awful! We obtained tiny, pathetic fish. But captain Sloan was a pro who put in a lot of effort to give us a chance to catch fish. By the way, we failed to observe any other boat catching fish. The most essential element of running a successful business is effort over success. Even so, we value your efforts and will spread the word about you. Please consider using us again. Regards, Sloan. We had a great time today!

Sloan made our day wonderful. I gained a lot of knowledge about the bay and local fishing techniques. Although Sloan told us where the fish were, occasionally they refused to cooperate. We caught some Reds, a few Ladyfish, and even had a few Blacktip bite-offs. Sloan, thanks for a wonderful day. Thank goodness we escaped the storms and lightening. God's blessings and tight lines

We were put on the fish by Captain Sloan Smith. He was quite familiar with the area and knew where the fish would be. A trip that my son and I will never forget.
