Jackpot Fishing Charters & Eco Tours Reviews

We booked our guided fishing and shell trip with Captain Jack and will be forever thankful we picked him! With a group of 6 people ranging from experienced to little to no experience fishing, Captain Jack was still able to put us all on fish and entertain everyone for 6 straight hours. Speaking with him the night before we wanted to focus on quantity and fish we could bring back to feed our vacation group of 16 people. Throughout the trip we hooked and landed several pompano which tasted amazing for our family! We also hooked and landed several lady fish, a couple of sharks, and several catfish. Towards the end of the trip we came across a mess of lady fish busting on the surface where Captain Jack was able to locate multiple big tarpon. Little to his knowledge it was a bucket list fish for me and man did he ever provide. We were able to hook and reel in a nice tarpon to wrap up the day. Within our group of 16 people we booked fishing trips with 3 separate guides that week and Captain Jack provided the best experience by far! Life long memories were made with Captain Jack and my family that day. If you want a world class fishing guide that is going to put you on fish look no further.

Jackpot!!! If your thinking and looking at other charters to book look no further. Captain Jack is the best. Our family of four recently went out and we had a blast. Captain Jack answered all my questions before hand and made booking the charter without any snags. We wrangled in plenty of fish and seen some amazing ocean life up close and personal Dolphins and manatees. Thanks for the last minute amazing time. Family is already talking about booking our next fishing adventure when we are in town next time. Thanks Captain Jack.

Captain Jack took my dad, brothers, and I out for a great fishing trip! He put us on a lot of tarpon and was very knowledgeable, professional, and gracious. Would definitely choose him for another charter in the future!

Captain Jack is always our go-to guide when fishing in the Fort Myers area. He is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and has great insight into the migration patterns of fish in the region. His boat is clean, comfortable, and easily accommodated our group of four. If you’re looking to catch fish, book with Captain Jack at Jackpot Fishing Charters—you’ll thank me later!

We had a great experience today with Jack. He had no problem finding us fish. We caught a Goliath grouper within the first half hour and nonstop Catching after that. We were so excited to catch a snook we were able to take home for dinner.

We had an amazing experience with Captain Jack during our vacation in Fort Myers. We stayed at the Pink Shell Resort, and he picked us up right at the marina, which made everything incredibly easy. My son has always wanted to go fishing, but as beginners, my husband and I felt intimidated. We booked the 4‑hour Fishing/Eco Tour with Jackpot Fishing, and from the start, Captain Jack was fantastic. He responded quickly after booking, communicated clearly, and worked with us to adjust plans around the weather. Captain Jack arrived on time with all the equipment and immediately made us feel comfortable. He was extremely patient and knowledgeable, especially with inexperienced anglers. We started catching fish right away, which built our confidence, and later moved to a spot with larger fish. My teenage daughter caught an 19-inch sheepshead—the highlight of the trip! He even offered to clean the keeper fish for dinner. On top of great fishing, we saw dolphins and manatees, which made the experience even more special. Relaxed, professional, and family‑friendly—I highly recommend Jackpot Fishing with Captain Jack.

Jack was an excellent captain. Very knowledgeable about the area, and always there to ensure I had fresh bait on my hook. Caught 3 Goliath grouper, 2 gag grouper and 5 or 6 snook in a 4 hour trip. Great experience and would definitely recommend him to others looking to fish in the Ft. Myers/Sanibel area.

I’ve known Jack for a while now. My family has chartered him 3 times. Patient guy, sick boat (just installed a tower to his center console) and great spots in his area. Highly recommend
