Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Jason consistently puts clients on fish across multiple species including yellowtail snapper, mahi-mahi, barracuda, triggerfish, and king mackerel. His extensive knowledge of Key Largo waters means he knows exactly where to find the fish and adapts quickly when conditions change, moving between reefs to keep the action going. Customers regularly report non-stop catching throughout their trips, with Jason providing live bait ready at the dock and expert techniques like slow pitch jigging when requested. Jason creates memorable experiences through his genuine care for every angler aboard. He extends trips to ensure kids get their target fish, provides cold water and Gatorade, and goes above and beyond by vacuum sealing fillets for traveling customers. Families especially appreciate how he coaches beginners while keeping experienced anglers engaged, and his willingness to share fishing secrets and knot-tying techniques. Multiple customers book repeat trips and drive extra distances specifically to fish with Jason again.

Our family had a great time fishing with Jason at Lock It Up! We did a 3 hour charter and he had no problem keeping up with all 5 of us. We caught a lot of fish, with the Permit and a shark being the highlights. Super friendly and knowledgeable guy! Definitely recommend

I don't visit the keys without a fishing trip with Lock It Up Charters! 10/10 cannot recommend enough. I considered myself a hardcore fisherman, especially saltwater as I am from the Midwest and rarely get the chance..and Capt Jay is my GO-TO Every time. I love that he matches the energy and it's clear he genuinely loves to be out there guiding and fishing. New boat with a lot of room, everything provided (even though I like bringing a rod or two of my own.) Every time we come back to the dock people are shocked how many fish we caught (he fillets your fish and tarpon go crazy), and my freezer is loaded for the year. This picture is from one all-day charter on 11/20/25, with just me and Capt Jay on the boat. My arms are sore, but couldn't be happier with the multiple trophy fish caught today. Looking forward to the next one! Fish KEPT: 8 Triggerfish 2 Rainbow Runners 3 Yellowtails 6 Yellow Jacks 2 Schoolmaster snappers Mangrove snapper Spanish Mackerel 2 trophy permits Red grouper Many more caught and released...

The boat ride is often forgotten, ours, out and back, was "smooth sailing". Jason is very knowledgeable about the area and a skilled fisherman. We have fished near shore reefs for years and caught two species new to us. Almost all the catch were keepers. We kept the best for a super dinner. Since we were nearby, Jason spared us the drive and picked us up at our location's dock. We ready for our next trip!

This was a great outing for my 3 boys who went boating and fishing for the first time. Captain Jason was patient and kind with them. I appreciated that he actually taught the boys how to fish, about marine life and end the end taught them how to clean the fish. Monday will be a good eating day! 🥰 Thank you Captain Jason!

Another great time with Captain Jay!! My boys and I take a lot of these trips, and no one catches more variety than Jay - Five different kinds of snappers, porgies, sharks, blue runners, Spanish mackerel, trigger fish, hog fish, and the list goes on. His technique and knowledge is second to none and we were busy all day. Kept about 1/10 of what we caught and Took the catch to a local restaurant for the best eating out there. Such a great day and an even better guy. We’ll see you again - hopefully sooner than three years!

~Fishing Made Easy~ Captain Jason was amazing!!! We wanted a quick, fish and catch trip and was NOT disappointed!!! My husband was able to catch fish that we cannot in north Florida and I caught a baby Goliath 😍 You can tell he is very experienced and, all around, just a great guy to spend the day fishing with!!! Thank you Jason for all the pointers and dealing with me being “all over the place” 😁 We will definitely be back to see you!
