Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Dexter Early consistently delivers outstanding fishing results on his Boggy Bayou inshore charters, with customers regularly catching their limit of redfish and beautiful trout. His extensive knowledge spans from Pensacola to Panama City, and he knows exactly where to take anglers for the best action. Groups of all sizes report everyone catching at least one fish, with many landing multiple species during their trips. Dexter's genuine enthusiasm for fishing remains infectious even after years of guiding, and his special attention to young anglers stands out remarkably. An 8-year-old caught more fish than adults on the boat thanks to his patient guidance, while families consistently praise his engaging personality and attentiveness to every guest. Customers return for repeat bookings and bring friends along, with many calling their trip the highlight of their vacation.

We had the best time fishing with Capt. Early this morning! He was totally focused on our 8 y/o daughter & making sure that she was reeling them in! I highly recommend booking your fishing experience with him. He knows the area from Pensacola all the way to Panama City. We will definitely be booking with him again.

We had the best time fishing with Mr. Early! He is so patient and made the experience wonderful for kids and the adults. We caught a ton of fish!! He made it so easy and fun. Mr. Early even cleaned the fish for us when we returned to the dock and we took it home for a delicious fish dinner that evening! Highly recommend a fishing experience with Mr. Early! It was the highlight of our trip in the 30A area!!!

Couldn’t ask for more from a chartered trip. Beautiful day and pulled in plenty of fish. More than a great guide, Captain Dexter is a warm-hearted thoughtful gentleman who genuinely likes people and loves putting them on fish. Don’t know how he stays excited about landing redfish after all the time he’s been doing this, but he truly was. My wife came along for the ride almost as an afterthought and came off the water delighted to have had the opportunity to spend the time. A true pleasure to be on the boat with him, and next trip will bring along my teenage kids. A solid 5 stars.
