About Your Trip

Bring the whole family along for a fun-filled day on the water with Captain Jason! Trips depart at either 6:00 AM or 7:00 AM, giving you an early start to take advantage of the best fishing conditions. This family-friendly fishing trip is designed for anglers of all ages and experience levels, making it a great way to introduce kids to fishing or spend quality time together on the water.

Depending on the season and conditions, you'll use a variety of productive techniques, including bottom fishing, fishing with live bait, and trolling, to target the fish that are biting best that day. Captain Jason will tailor the approach to maximize your opportunities and keep everyone engaged throughout the trip.

You'll fish aboard Captain Jason's 24' center console, a federally permitted vessel that provides a comfortable platform for a day on the water. You're also welcome to connect your phone and play your own music through the boat's Bluetooth audio system during your trip.

This trip is suitable for anglers of all experience levels and is child friendly, making it a great option for families looking to spend quality time together on the water.

Everything you need for the fishing is included, including all bait, tackle, fishing licenses, drinks, ice, and fish cleaning at no additional charge. We also recommend bringing sunglasses, sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, and any other personal items you'd like to have with you during the trip.

Lunch is not provided, so please bring any food or snacks you'd like to enjoy while you're on the water. Beer is welcome aboard as long as it's in cans—no glass containers, please.

Whether you're introducing someone to their first fishing trip or making memories with family and friends, Captain Jason looks forward to welcoming you aboard for a great day on the water.

About Your Guide

Jason S.

Independent Guide

I’am one of very few actual native Floridians, who has grown up fishing all of the Central Florida. Since childhood I’ve been in the Central Florida area and offer more than thirty five years of fishing experience inshore and offshore fishing. I grew in a family fishing business and have a deep passion for the outdoors. I have a very strong commitment to family and friends with a strong belief that passing on family traditions is of the essence for the future for our children and the outdoors.

When you come on a charter with me, whether it is inshore or offshore, you will enjoy a very laid back, safe, family friendly environment. While fishing with me you will learn new techniques that will increase your angling ability and help you become a better angler. Kids are always welcome! For your comfort and security, I am United States Coast Guard licensed, insured, and federally permitted.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
