Wahoo and Grouper were biting this past week 60 miles offshore. Waiting on grouper season May 1! Big black and red drum at the jetties, along with lots of whiting.

With warming water temperatures and steady tides, the redfish are in full feeding mode. Early mornings have been prime for topwater action, with Reds crushing Zara Spooks and MirrOlure Top Dogs over shallow flats. As the sun gets higher, we’ve been switching to paddle tails in gold, root beer, and...

Early mornings have been prime for topwater action, with Reds crushing Zara Spooks and MirrOlure Top Dogs over shallow flats. As the sun gets higher, we’ve been switching to paddle tails in gold, root beer, and new penny, rigged on 1/8 to 1/4 oz jigheads for sight-casting fish cruising the oyster bars and creek mouths.

    We had the BEST time on the water with Captain Jeremy. He is professional, friendly, and knows his stuff. From catching the bait fish to reeling in our dinner, we were having a great time the whole way. 10/10 recommend him and this trip!

    Trip: Jacksonville Mixed Bag

  • ★★★★★
    Everything with Captain Jeremy was perfect! You can trust your most precious cargo with him. My son's 18th Birthday charter was excellent. The boys had a blast, and the Captain made it safe and fun.

    Trip: Nearshore Kingfish Special

  • ★★★★★
    I would say that his trip was very exciting and fun, he is a nice and funny guy who knows what he's doing when it comes to fishing. We caught a bunch of different kinds of fish, huge and small. I would say me and my dad had a great time with austin, if you want a learning experience austin is your guy.

    Trip: Jacksonville Adventure Half to Full Day!

  • ★★★★★
    We have been on a few charters, but this one was, by far, the best! Joe was AMAZING in every way. We caught so many fish, despite the season being a bit behind, (which he was very upfront about), he was personable, kind, friendly, knowledgeable, fun, entertaining - literally everything you could want or need in a guide. We will not choose any other guide whenever we are here - which is every 3 months due to our Mayo visits. As some may know, Mayo can be exhausting and stressful, but after our appointments, our time spent with Joe out fishing, honestly made all of the stress, worries, and cares disappear. I could not recommend him enough!!

    Trip: St Johns River Inshore Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Captain David was fantastic! His knowledge and expertise made for an incredible fishing trip. We caught plenty of fish, and he went above and beyond to engage our kids, teaching them about fishing, bait, and boats along the way. He took us to multiple spots and was determined to help us land a big one—and we sure did! We had an amazing time and are already planning our next trip with him in the coming months. Highly recommend!

    Trip: Experience world-class fishing.

  • ★★★★★
    Excellent captain, and we have experienced many. Knew where the fish were and took us to them and we caught them. Enough to feed a family of 8. Knowledgeable, friendly, and not overtalkative, like some.
