JP the BASS WHISPERER made our FL trip a time to remember! He got my wife on her PB BASS!! You can tell he has a very, very vast knowledge and love for fishing. He keeps your energy and entertained the whole trip! We ended up hooking up with a NICE Asian clown fish before heading back. If you’re in Florida, I wouldn’t recommend anyone other than him! You will not be disappointed. My wife and I look forward to doing an Amazon trip with him next year! 10/10 recommend

JP was an amazing guide. He took us to a few great spots where we found some awesome variety of fish species. Coming from Chicago, it was a great experience to find Oscars, Cichlids, Gar, Dogfish, and a few big schools of Largemouth Bass. Going through the Everglades we saw a bunch of Alligators and other cool wildlife too. My son will talk about this trip for years to come, he'll never forget it. Thanks JP!

Captain JP had us on fish within minutes of arriving. He was knowledgeable, prompt and quick handed when it came to re baiting hooks and keeping us in the strike zone. We will 100% use him again if we come back.

John the Bass Whisperer is truly one of a kind. The moment you step on the boat with him, you know you’re in for an incredible time. It’s not just about fishing—it’s about the whole experience. His energy is contagious, his knowledge is unmatched, and somehow his luck rubs off on you. Even on a tough day, you’ll be reeling them in like a pro. I had an absolute blast and can honestly say fishing with John is a guaranteed good time. 10/10—I’ll be booking with him again without hesitation!

It was my first time fishing in the Everglades, and having JP by our side made the experience incredible. He was helpful the entire time, keeping us engaged and sharing his knowledge on different lures, bait, and techniques. Thanks to his guidance, we caught a variety of fish including Gar, Peacock Bass, Largemouth Bass, Cichlids, Jaguar Guapote, and even Oscars. On top of that, we spotted a gator—such an awesome experience!

I had one of the best fishing experiences ever today, bringing my best friend along for his very first trip with Captain JP Mcay. The day was full of laughs, learning, and nonstop fun, all while enjoying great weather and plenty of hungry fish. It was also my first time fishing on a boat, and it couldn’t have gone better. Captain JP is not only a fantastic guide but also a teacher and entertainer who makes you feel comfortable and sets you up for success. He gave us hands-on tips and tricks to land some powerful fish, and once we got the hang of casting and setting the hook, the action never stopped. His boat was clean and fast, and all the gear worked perfectly. I’d rate the whole experience a 10/10 and highly recommend anyone looking for a great day on the water to book with Captain JP!

Captain JP knows exactly where to find the fish. We had an amazing 4 hours on the water with him, and he was patient with beginners, taking the time to show us useful tips and tricks. He’s kind, easy to talk to, and made the whole trip enjoyable. We caught nearly 25 fish, making it not just a fishing trip but a real adventure. Highly recommend booking with Captain JP!
