Captain Jay could not have been more thoughtful and helpful for our charter.  Noticing incremental weather (not necessarily dangerous just not ideal) he offered to switch booking for a day with better weather.  Meaning, he offered (not dictated) to adjust his own personal schedule to allow us a better day on the water.  His passion to provide a great trip for his clients was immediately apparent from his first contact.

The fishing was excellent!  Cap Jay got on the fish and stayed on them!  I brought my teenage son and a friend of his.  In general, probably not the most exciting idea to these teenagers, but they were having a blast on his charter!  Between the three of us; I cannot imagine how many questions we had to have asked and probably how dumb they were.  He enjoyed answering and explaining without any visible sight of annoyance or complaints.

In the end, I could probably take up the entire 4000 character limit on how great this trip was, of which, is a direct result of Cap Jay and crew (likewise I could go on and on about his crewhand who was just as thoughtful and helpful).  It is without hesitation I recommend Captain Jay (Ricochet) charters.  In fact, we are planning another trip just to take his charter again (if he can stand us)!

Mostly boat riding and hunting fish with 10 minute stops.  I understand fishing is not perfect and you have to go where they are, but riding for most of the time is not my idea of fishing.  I guess I just don’t think the boat captain was my kind of fishing captain.  His helper was a great young man.  I wish them well but probably would not choose Ricochet again.

We had a great time with these two. They worked hard to make sure our time was enjoyable! We caught our limit including a couple of big ones!

We had one day we could squeeze in a 6 Hr trip.  Who knew we were going to have 20 mph winds and very rough seas?  Captain Jay and deck mate James worked their asses off though, putting us on the fish that were biting.  I took my son-in-law and my son out just to spend some time together, as the the song goes “They think we’re just fishing!”  My son pulled in a 34 lb / 40 inch AJ, which made his day!  The son-in-law hook a big one, but the line sheered on the reef, but he was excited to get to experience the fight of a big fish on.  The crew is hilarious and has one of the best music mixes you can find anywhere.  We had a great time despite the rough conditions.  Captain Jay is a great guy and sincerely gives 110% to to take care of his customers.  James is eager to help with anything and has a great understanding of customer service.  It was a pleasure doing business with them, and we will ask for them by name next time we are in Gulf Shores!
