Florida Keys Fishing Aboard the Suzanne

We appreciate our anglers and work hard to give them a wonderful day of fishing... this is what they say:

Hello Suzanne,

Just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful day yesterday! Our friends from Arkansas had the time of their lives and the day just couldn't have been better. Capt. John and Billy were great as was the weather and the fishing. Since our friend John's birthday falls on the 16th we just decided that a trip on the Suzanne will become an annual mid-May event for all of us. We have chartered a lot of boats in our day and our experience with the Suzanne ranks right up there at the top.

Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you next year, if not sooner!

Dear : Capt John & Suzanne
Thanks for the news paper picture and note that you sent me in Michigan. My wife framed the original entire page that you sent me several months ago and it is hanging in my den.
I can’t thank you enough for that trip of ours. I have tried fishing for Dolphin unsuccessfully on several attempts. My day with you blew away any expectations that we had. It was by far the most fun I have ever had on a day of fishing.
I tell the stories of our fishing trip to my friends up here from time and you have provided me with some awesome memories (and pictures) to last my lifetime.
I don’t know if I can see you next spring or not yet, but maybe the year after.
I know there are no guarantees as far as fishing trips go, but my next fishing charter attempt will be booked on your boat.

Thanks again

P.S. I remember seeing you on the Internet a while back – soon after we left in May. Your boat won some sort of fishing contest ? Congratulations !

I forgot to mention, it wasn’t just the fact that we caught fish that made it an awesome day.
It was you – Capt John.
Allowing us up on the bridge, full of conversation. Teaching us to watch for the birds.
You ever hear that cliché on TV ? Think back to a happy place.
That day with you is my happy place.

Thanks Again - Jeff

Captain John and Suzanne:

Thanks for a great day of fishing. Daniel and I had been planning our trip
to Islamorada since he was ten. You made his thirteenth Birthday present one
that neither of us will forget. From the moment we booked the trip until you
handed over the filets, we knew we were in great hands. We could not have
asked for a better planner (Suzanne), Captain and First Mate.

Got some good pictures attached and more to come in later emails.

Thanks Again for a great time!!!...We'll be back.
Todd and Daniel Bell

Captain John,
Just wanted to say thank you and Terry for a great day. This was our third trip on your boat. Each time it gets better!!! As always you put us on the fish. We are looking forward to the sailfish trip we are planning for January. Guess we better hurry and get it lined up with you. HaHa I am sending you a couple pictures of your boat and the fish. Even got one of Terry drinking a beer instead of cleaning the boat :-) Well once again thanks for a great time and we are looking forward to doing it again!
All the guys from Whitewater Plumbing.

While visiting Islamorada on July 4th weekend, my brother Scott set out to find the perfect fishing charter for our family. I had never been deep sea fishing and was very excited about the trip. Captain john was the perfect host and that day was one of the best times we have ever had in our life!! Now, when my boys talk about the Keys, they always talk about captain john and how they had the best day ever!! Captain John let the boys take part in all of the activities from catching the bait, reeling in the fish and even driving the boat. After the trip we took our "catch " to the restaurant on the dock and had it cooked while Captain john & his mate finished cleaning the rest, and then the joined us for dinner. What great guys! We plan on visiting Islamorada again this summer and we will definitely be see Captain john again, our family would highly recommend these guys to anyone who wants to have a fun-filled day with lots of memories, and fish tales to share for a lifetime!!
Thank you Captain John,
