"Captain Shannon was fantastic to fish with. He is truly a master at his craft. We did limit out, but more than that, on our way out in the dark we ran over 500 feet of floating rope. He untangled it and pulled all of it into the boat just so another boater wouldn't run over it. His first mate Blake was also a great deck hand. I highly recommend Captain Shannon."

"Went offshore with Captain Shannon and had a great time. He knew where to go and kept us on fish the whole trip. When the bite slowed, he moved us and it paid off. Gear was solid and ready the whole time. Boat ride was smooth even when it got a little rough. I'd go back out with him again for sure."

"We last minute decided to take a fishing trip with my in-laws. We were competing with rough water and crazy tides. Shannon stuck in with us. He continually tried to reposition us. At go-in time we started to catch and he actually stayed out an extra hour and a half with us to make sure we did get some. If I could give more than five stars, I would."

Chris Case Oklahoma - 4 Hour Jetty Fishing PM - February 2026 Capt. Shannon replied: thanks Chris

"Wife and I had a blast with Shannon. This dude was on it. Fish a spot and move, he delivered. Already given his info to a few folks. Will book again for sure. Thanks man for a great morning."

Arian Grant Repeat angler Hawaii - 4 Hour Jetty Fishing - May 2026 Capt. Shannon replied: thanks Arian
★★★★★

"Booked this fishing trip looking forward to a good time on the water and this lived up to that. The fishing was the best I have had the experience of having. The captain put us on the fish and we caught our max. When we got back to shore, he got the fish cleaned and filleted in no time."
