Why Anglers Choose Lady J Sportfishing
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. Had a great time with captain Phil and his mate Chris. My 11 year old son was safe and caught a ton of fish. Can’t wait to come back again!!! Carol Childs2022-08-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good Samaritan! Towed us in to the dock when we ran out of gas. Called ahead to have a person there to fill us up. Thank you so much!! Made our day! Good people rock! Jack McDermott2021-06-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very great fishing and very knowledgeable about the sport! Every time we went we got a great abundance of fish. jason Narva2020-08-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went out yesterday with 3 other guys. Fishing was slow yo start but Phil did everything he could to get us on the fish. Once we found them it was one after another. First mate Matt did a great professional job. Boat is clean and big with plenty of fishing room. Excellent day on the water. Will definitely be doing this trip again next year. Thanks Phil and Matt. Michael Stuart2020-08-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My buddies and I went out last weekend with Capt. Phil and Matt. After the first hour we stopped counting fish as it was constant action, our guess at the end of the trip was roughly 35-40 bass with 6 being in the keeper slot and 1 being just over at 35.5". Needless to say we cant wait to join them again next year. Thanks for a great trip, guys.
