Matt Brennan2025-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an amazing day fishing with Phil and Sky on the Lady J. Phil was knowledgable and friendly, my family and I were stoked. We had a quad hookup! Boat was spacious and comfortable. I can’t recommend Phil and the Lady J enough. 🤙🏼 Tom French2025-07-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just got back from fishing trip with Phil and my arms are sore from all the fish we caught. Had 6 of us on boat and we all caught a ton. Worth every penny and the sore muscles. Thank you Phil Jessica Russell2025-06-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best time on the Lady J! The I would recommend! Edwin C2025-06-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Phil is the best. Always a great time we have been going out with him on the boys trip the last 20 years he does a supper job getting us fish. Anthony Marguerite2024-07-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My father and I have been fishing with Phil the last 4 summers and it is most definitely the best charter service we have experienced. Always have hit our limit early and spent the rest of the day catching and releasing bass after bass. Couldn’t recommend a more qualified Captian for the bay! Patrick McAllen2024-07-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Missed last year with Captain Phil but have gone out with him 7 of last 8 years. Phil is the best captain we've ever fished with and the Lady J is an AMAZING boat. It always seems where ever Phil goes, the other vessels follow. 5/5 10 stars. We photos all over the house of memories with the Lady J and Captain Phil. certified roofing2023-07-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
