Capt’n John and his wife killed it. Would definitely book them again for our next trip. Great vibes, and even better fishing. Awesome all around! Ask about his Japanese Prints of your best catch!

We made the most of a choppy day, and the captain kept us on Spanish mackerel the whole time. The kids had a blast reeling them in, and my son landing two on one line was the highlight of the trip. We ended up with more than enough for dinner. The captain also shared great tips on how to cook and prepare the catch, and helped clean everything just the way we wanted. Friendly crew all around—we’ll definitely look them up again next year.

Captain John and his wife were friendly and easy to be around, and they kept us on fish throughout the trip. They paid close attention to our needs, especially with a young child onboard, and adjusted the plan to keep everyone comfortable and engaged. I’d definitely recommend booking with them. And don’t forget your sunscreen!

Great trip from start to finish. The captain was full of energy and put us on plenty of fish. Everything ran smoothly, and the service was spot on. I’d recommend this trip to anyone, whether you’re new or experienced. Expect a fun day and a full box by the end.

Captain John made the trip a great time from start to finish. He put us on plenty of fish for our group of five, and everyone had a blast. What really stood out was how easy he was to talk to—he kept the conversation going, shared laughs, and made us feel like we were out there with a friend. Highly recommend booking with him.

We booked a 4-hour trip but ended up adding an extra hour because we were having so much fun catching fish! Captain John was excellent—once we found the fish, we often had 2 to 4 on at the same time. He made the trip extremely enjoyable and taught us a lot along the way. My family had an amazing time and can’t stop talking about it. Thank you, Captain John!

This was our first time going deep sea fishing, and Captain John and his wife Alicia made it a great experience. They were friendly, easy to talk to, and took the time to explain the different fish we were catching while showing us the right techniques for each one. We may not have caught a huge number, but it was more than enough for us to enjoy and share with friends and family. Overall, it was a memorable trip, and we’ll definitely be booking with Captain John again the next time we’re in PCB.

We had an incredible time out on the boat with Captain John! Despite rough conditions, he was determined to get us on the fish and didn’t stop until each of us had a catch. We had a blast and would highly recommend Combat Fishing to anyone in the area.
