Inshore fishing has been good with flounder, sheepshead and a good bull redfish bite. Ian has offshore waters stirred up but the bite for bottom fishing has been good for snapper, beeliners, triggerfish and some seabass. As the water cleans up some striking
fish should show up like king mackerel, barracuda, and jacks. Here are pictures of most recent fish.

The fishing has been a little slow but still catching enough to keep the customers happy.

Legal size redfish are spotty but still in good numbers. With the shrimp run ramping up, it can be a little testy getting a consistent bite. But flounder are starting to show in great numbers- fish are still on the smaller side but great action. Tarpon fishing continues to be...

Tarpon fishing continues to be red hot in northeast Florida with fish ranging from 40 to 100 lbs.
Bull reds are showing in good numbers in the St Johns river as well with the average fish in the 40in range!

    Captain Bill was awesome. He helped my daughter with strategies and techniques on how to catch spotted trout. He put us on fish and our target fish spotted trout we caught. We had a great day.

    Trip: Jacksonville Inshore Fishing

    Captain K runs a very good boat. He knows his equipment, the spots, and the fish. First class experience

    Trip: Inshore Charter - 26' World Cat

  • ★★★★★
    Not a good trip. Left feeling like a charter took advantage of tourist from out of state. Didn’t fish with li e bait, didn’t have options of fishing spots, and the last spot was refueling dock where boat was refueling while we were fishing. We could have fished off the shore without him at that spot.

    Trip: Half Day/Full Day Offshore Fishing

    Great Trip! I’m a seasoned fisherman but, I brought my sister and girlfriend. Captain Dave has two complete polywogs and me. He did a wonderful job educating the ladies on fishing and TOGETHER, they pulled in the largest fish on the trip! Great Time!

    Trip: The Awesome Island Experience!

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Bill delivered a first class experience to a mixed crew of seasoned and novice anglers. He was able to connect with each of us in ways that made the trip memorable and kept all of us actively fishing throughout our six hour trip. I've booked trips across the Gulf Coast, Atlantic Florida, and the Caribbean, and Bill is among the best captains I've chartered. He is a talented and dedicated professional who works hard to put his crew on fish for an excellent value trip.

    David was a great captain! The vibe was perfect for a relaxing, fish catching, four hours that flew by because “Time flys when you are having fun”. Highly recommend!! Our family of four will definitely be booking again.

    Great trip. Brian knows the marine ecology, and educated us about the various species caught at various times of the year. Oh, and the fishing was great. We caught enough Whiting for a large family and friends fish fry. Delicious!!

    We had an incredible time fishing with David. He made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. You could definitely tell he cared about how much fun we were having. Highly recommend using David for your next fishing experience no matter your skill level.
