Captain Jim takes the time to understand your expectations of the trip and then just delivers a great time. We told him we were interested in catching our dinner, but that more than anything we wanted to hook some fish and he made sure we did both! He has back up plans for his back up plans, making the charter tailored to the needs of his clients.

Right off the bat both my BF and I were pulling in 18 pound fish - not eating fish but one box checked right away. I get terribly seasick but made it a full hour before needing to get to smoother seas, captain Jim had a number of options for every situation and we were so appreciative of his ability to quickly accommodate us at every turn.

He is very knowledgeable about the ocean, fishing and the surrounding area, and if you are interested shares his knowledge, including all the fish tales you could ask for (with pictures to prove it). We felt like we were talking with an old friend and just had a ridiculously great time. The charter ended with us taking home well cleaned and prepared Mahi Mahi which we chose to cook ourselves (although he also has many options of places that will prepare it for you if you just prefer it on a plate.

I could not recommend 4Js and captain Jim more, do yourself a favor and book today. Then talk with him about your trip so you get exactly what you want - he delivers!

It was a tough day with the fish not biting,  possibly due to a weather front moving in the next day, but Captain Jimmy wouldn’t give up. We went to a bunch of his known spots and tried multiple fishing techniques and we were able to catch five different species of fish with three keepers and great eating. Captain Jimmy is a good guy that will pull out all the stops to make sure you have a great catch, even if the fish don’t want to cooperate. Had a great day on the ocean with family and friends and look forward to future fishing trips with Captain Jimmy.

A good friend and I booked a 3 hour jigging charter with Captain Jim.  Due to a booking error on my part, our availabilities didn’t match and we were headed out the day we could make our trip.  Jim not only met us early, but put everything he had into putting us on fish.  We trolled with planer rods, top water, everything we could outside of jigging as the jigging had been slow.  We landed a few Bonita, but not a trophy.  That is not from lack of effort on the part of our captain.  You will not be disappointed with a trip out with 4 J’s!  I plan to keep an open line of communication with Jim as he’s just that awesome of a guy, truly passionate about what he does and it seems to be his enjoyment that his charters have a great time with him.

Our fishing trip with Captain Jim and his son Jack was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we set foot on the boat, we were treated like royalty. The hospitality was top-notch, and their friendly and accommodating nature made us feel right at home on the waters.

What stood out was Captain Jim’s interaction with my 13-year-old son and his best friend. He was patient, informative, and engaging, and he managed to instill a love for fishing in the boys that I’m sure they’ll carry forward. His ability to connect with his clients, irrespective of their age, is truly commendable.

The fishing experience itself was quite rewarding. We used various fishing methods and caught a number of different fish, which added to the excitement and learning. Captain Jim’s extensive knowledge of the marine life and fishing techniques was impressive and educational.

In addition to his fishing expertise, Captain Jim was a brilliant storyteller. His unique and engaging stories of past fishing adventures and local lore enriched our experience and kept us entertained throughout the trip.

I especially appreciated his proactive communication before the trip. He filled us in on what to expect, how to prepare, and answered any queries we had. This kind of commitment to ensuring his clients have the best experience is unmatched.

To say that we’re looking forward to our next annual trip with Captain Jim would be an understatement. His personality, knowledge, and dedication to his clients’ satisfaction have left a lasting impression on us. We can’t wait to embark on another fishing adventure with him next year.

If you’re looking for a memorable and enjoyable fishing experience, I highly recommend Captain Jim and his son Jack. Their professionalism, passion for fishing, and commitment to their clients’ satisfaction make them a top choice for anyone in search of a great fishing adventure.

I’ve been on a few local charters and I have to say this one was THE BEST.  Captain Jim is a true fisherman.  He REALLY knows fishing.  Anyone can throw a line in but Cap Jim gives you the logic and science behind what he’s doing.  He’s a true artist out there.  He’s a great guy to talk fishing with and he answers ALL questions with REAL answers.  I could go on but the bottom line is if you want a 5 star fishing experience, Captain Jim is the guy.  Ill 100% book again with him.
