Captain Jarred was above and beyond the best captain we have ever had the pleasure of fishing with. My son and I were actually taken back by the levels that the captain went to to make the experience an unforgettable one. Mainly for my son who had never been out on the ocean fishing before. He requires the need of a walker to get around and the captain didnt hesitate to accommodate him. This alone made the trip well worth it alone. He then did everything within his power to make sure my son caught the fish he so wanted to catch to seal it as “the best fishing ever” as my son put it. A big thank you to Captain Jarred for the unforgettable experience, we will be back and I would recommend this outfit to anyone who would listen.

We did a three hour kids fishing trip. Initially planned for offshore but the weather had other plans. Capt Matt called me in advance to notify me of weather updates and make sure we were still good to go.  This was the first marine fishing trip for all of us so wanted to go for it         The kids also were good with inshore vs offshore as long as fish were caught. 
The trip was awesome, memories were made. Capt was able to educate us about the area, fish species, and sailing in general.  Both boys had their first marine catch on a boat and couldn’t have been more excited.  We also saw some marine life and learned about fishing the area.  Will definitely book again next time we are in the Destin area.

First fishing trip at sea our family has ever taken, this was a memorial trip in honor of our 19 year old daughter…. Jared was truly amazing he even wore a memorial bracelet for our Maranda (our family was all wearing them and Jared wanted to join in on honoring her even tho he’s never met her) He was SO polite,patient,&  understanding, never hesitant in helping the family with any questions or concerns we had. He’s a total HOOT too! Because of him our family is now “hooked” literally “hooked” planning another trip just for fishing with Jared. And the BEST part we CAUGHT FISH!! These Tennesseans highly recommend 850 Charters & captain Jared! ?

We took the trip in the title. We had good weather but there was a big fishing tournament starting as we left harbor. We were really impressed with Jared navigating the wake and larger boats. Once we were out on the water, we had to hit a few different spots to get on the fish. At one spot we saw a pod of spinner dolphin which was neat. We each caught a snapper at the third or fourth spot we checked out. Had the chance to catch a couple more but let them get off the hook. Jared filleted them for us and suggested getting some blackening seasoning at Sextons across the street from the dock. We did that and fixed some blackened pan fried snapper that night. Very delicious… you can’t get more fresh than that! All and all a great time and glad to catch our first snapper!

We had a great time fishing with Jared! I booked the inshore/deep sea excursion. The inshore fishing included trolling through the bay and in the area where boats were leaving with lines off the back of the boat. We only caught one fish there. I definitely recommend going out to the Gulf if you want to hold a rod and reel fish in. We appreciated the communication between the guides because it helped us find fish to catch. It was a good first time experience. The next time we will definitely go farther out to catch the bigger fish.
