TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
"Definitely know where the fishing spots are and how to catch them"
We had an absolute amazing time being on Catch 22 boat with Captain John! He and deck hand George were great at showing us how to reel in the fish. Definitely know where the fishing spots are and how to catch them. Caught a variety of fish including Scamp, trigger, black fin tuna, mingo, amber jack, red snapper, mangrove, mackerel, Bonita, shark and even an eel! Some that weren’t regulation but still fun to catch and see! As a bonus got to weigh in at the Destin Rodeo and get on the board! Hands down recommend Catch 22 Charters! Thanks John and George for an amazing day! - Jennifer W.
"We got a nice one as the 1st fish!"
I want to start this review that John has zero control over wind OR water...he is definitely not a water or wind bender. I mean, the dance he performed to change the weather conditions (as entertaining as it was) did not change anything!!
On a serious note, before the charter, I told John that I had some bucket list fish I would like to catch. One being an Amberjack. We got a nice one as the 1st fish! And it was awesome! We did catch another Spanish Makrel and a Mingo that were keeper. Some red snapper and trigger fish that were too small. With the wind, waves and threat of severe weather, John made decisions to keep us on fish and be safe at the same time. Coming back from fishing, John was able to navigate the weather conditions to give us a safe and as smooth ride as possible (the waves were about 6 to 8 footers). I will absolutely book Catch 22 again and encourage anyone to do the same! Great trip John!! - Christopher
"Father's Day Trip - Great Memories!"
We booked a trip with Captain John @ Catch 22 Charters. It was a fathers day trip and my son and I made great memories as the competition quickly got underway once my son was 2 up on me. I have been fishing a long time and I been on a few boats in my day... hands down Captain John is one of the best! On a day where the water was rough and the bite was slow Captain John maximized the fishing when the bite happened. Trying multiple methods to keep the action going. We caught multiple species, a few trout, some reds and even managed a nice catfish.
Thanks Captain John.. until next time! -Frank
