Meet Captain Jason Jones
Jones's biography describes a professional baseball background with the Yankees, Twins and Nationals organizations, followed by years of coaching. He connects that teaching experience with helping charter guests learn. The site identifies him as a licensed master captain.
Custom Sheaffer boat
The published vessel is a 2013, 24-foot Sheaffer Marine with a full custom tower providing shade. Equipment includes twin eight-foot Power-Pole shallow-water anchors, a Power-Pole Move trolling motor, a PortBracket and separate 50-gallon and 25-gallon livewells. The site also describes seating and deep gunwales.
Planning the fishing
Discuss your preferred species, experience level and children's ages before reserving. The reviewed pages emphasize family trips but do not provide a detailed seasonal target calendar or a standard itinerary. Have the captain recommend an appropriate destination and duration.
Prices and inclusions
A complete public rate schedule was not confirmed. Request the total price, passenger limit, fishing-license coverage, bait and tackle arrangements, fish cleaning and any additional fees before paying.
