Jetty fishing is on FIRE 🔥A lot of 3-4hr trips over the last few weeks. When the weather allows you to go. Last 2 days have been a little slower do to the water clarity, but still great fishing.

The sheepshead fishing is getting hot. The end of March and early April are my favorite times to catch the sheep's head. We have a lot of big fish that push into our river to spawn. The red fish bite is also heating up with these water temperatures getting warmer.

The offshore sea bass fishing has been really good this year when we get the good weather days, with trigger if and porgies mixed in! The inshore bite is getting better with the bigger sheepsheads moving in to spawn. With warmer weather approaching the inshore fishing is going to be great.

Warmer weather is helping our cause! Mix of fish this week, few a slot reds along with trout and ringtails for the frying pan. Some bigger reds in the mix as well! If the weather cooperates, the black sea bass have been biting as well!

It was a good day with Brian! He took us to lots of spots with lots of fish. And he was especially helpful in re-baiting hooks and giving instruction on how to best use the gear and tackle.

Trip: The Awesome Island Experience!
★★★★★
Scheduled a trip and a storm was blowing in on the day of the trip and Captain James reached out and rescheduled with a day that worked perfect for my family. On the new day it was really choppy and we thought we was just going to have to fish close to shore but then it calmed down and we got to go out deep. Very first fish we caught was a sail fin fish I always dreamed of catching then we caught 2 barricade and a king fish. We hooked what looked like a great white shark that we fought for over 2 hours and it jumped out of the water and broke the line but it was huge biggest shark I ever seen in person and I live in Florida! Overall the trip was a great day with an experienced and friendly Captain and Mate that even helped our 8 year old fight t he shark for 15 minutes building a memory he would never forget! I will book all future trips with Captain James Walker. Great Captain and great man I could not have asked for anyone better than him and his first mate (his son also). If you want a memorable trip tell them what you want and they will do thier best to make it happen! Thank you Captain James for some awesome memories!

This was the absolute best charter we have ever taken! You need to book with Captain Kenny and his first mate Matt. Captain Kenny’s knowledge, skill and experience as a competitive angler were invaluable! He and Matt were also extremely helpful and instructive so you were cared for that no matter what your skill level! We are already looking to book our next trip with Captain Kenny!

Trip: Nearshore Kingfish Special
★★★★★
Captain Stephen delivered an exceptional saltwater fishing experience in NE Florida. To begin he worked with us over several days to maximize our best fishing trip morning - he was super communicative and vigilant. His command of the local waters, the species we’d be targeting, and the conditions we were navigating was impressive. He didn’t just guide the trip — he taught us. From fish behavior to the wildlife we encountered along the way, he turned the entire outing into a masterclass on the ecosystem. 10/10 recommend Captain Stephen for anyone looking for a top‑tier day on the water.
