I’m Capt. Jeff and I’ve had a love for the sport of fishing my entire life. I’ve been a charter captain in Florida since 2001. Prior to moving to Florida I did private fly fishing tours on the Cascades Gorge in Warm Springs, Va. My family and I moved to Amelia Island, in the fall of 2003 and I’ve been guiding here for 20 years. We offer light tackle and fly fishing for Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Tarpon, Cobia, Black Drum, Jacks, Sharks and Sheepshead. These are just a few of the species that we target. Capt. Crumpton also has his Federal Reef Fish Permits for Grouper, Red Snapper and other pelagic species. I love to sight fish for redfish on the flood tides and other native fish to Amelia Island. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, fishing, and learning experience. All ages and experience levels are welcome. Bring your family fishing to have fun and create memories here on Amelia Island!
