Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Jeremy VanderVeen consistently puts customers on productive fishing spots, with many reaching their red snapper limits quickly while also catching triggerfish, grouper, Spanish mackerel, and even sharks. His local knowledge from growing up in the area shows through his ability to find fish in various conditions, whether calm or choppy waters. Customers appreciate how he handles all the technical aspects - providing bait, changing broken lines without complaint, and expertly cleaning the entire catch at the end of the trip. Customers describe Jeremy as feeling like a lifelong fishing buddy rather than just a guide, creating genuine friendships that extend beyond the boat. He accommodates families with seasick members, lets kids play their music on the boat's Bluetooth, and patiently teaches fishing basics to first-timers. Parents especially value his skill working with children, helping young anglers reel in large fish while sharing stories and jokes throughout the trip. Multiple families specifically mention planning return visits and already booking future trips with Jeremy.

Trip - Private Inshore Panama City Beach Redfish & Trout Fishing Charter on September 20, 2025

In just a few short hours, we checked off all of our bucket list, fish that we wanted to catch. He took us straight to the spots, and we started catching fish relatively fast. His passion for fishing shows through his work. He was an absolute blast to be around. Definitely try him out. You have no idea what you’re missing if you don’t.

If you are looking for a personalized chater this is it. Jeremy is the best!!! He will put you right on top of the fish or if your family gets sick he will accommodate for that too. We will be back and telling everyone to go see him.

Jeremy wasn't a fishing guide, he was like a life time fishing buddy that was sharing his honey hole with you need just found. (I hope that's what they call it on the ocean, that's what we call it on the river and lakes in the mid west.) He was our friend from the start of making out reservation to right now... My son moved to PCB last year, me and my wife didn't really like it since we're in Kansas, but knowing my son now has a friend like Jeremy it's a little better now. The time we had on the water was perfect, we caught a lot of snapper, and also hooked into a shark. Just a few seconds after I hooked the shark, that had eaten most likely the biggest snapper of the day I realized I was too old to fight this fight...I handed the pole to my son and getting to watch my boy fight a shark for what seemed like hours was about as good as watching him take his first defense turnover in for a touchdown. I got to watch my son catch a freaking shark. Thanks again Jeremy I'll never forget this first time, and I knew we will see you again for more perfect memories and fishing.

What a day on the water! We spent the whole trip hauling in big Snapper, Triggerfish, and some massive Red Grouper. Hooked into a Cobia for a bit, but he gave us the slip—there’s always next time, Mr. Cobia!

Captain Jeremy was fantastic! Our family of four had an incredible time out on the water. It was the first fishing trip for both my daughter and me, and my husband and son couldn’t have been happier. We targeted Spanish Mackerel and even got into some Red Snapper! Captain Jeremy shared a lot of knowledge with my son during the 3-hour trip—he truly knows the local waters and is a pleasure to be around. We’re already looking forward to booking another trip with him!

We had a great time fishing with Captain Jeremy. We had never been charter fishing before and my son had requested to go, so we booked the trip. Captain Jeremy taught us the basics and kept us going with our lines in the water and reeling in the fish. He was excellent as far as communication before and after the trip (sending us the pics of our catches and thanking us for the booking). He even let my son play his music on the boats bluetooth radio. I would definitely book with him again.

Captain Jeremy was great! First he worked with us to find the best fishing window possible for the week that we were down there and very accommodating. During our fishing trip he worked really hard to get us on the fish despite the unforeseen choppy water/wind and some boat issues! We were not disappointed as we left with enough fish for several family meals. He was even so kind as to clean them all when we got back. Definitely recommend him if you are looking for a great guide in the area.
