About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Don and prepare for an action-packed day of fishing the Florida Atlantic! The Jacksonville inshore is the perfect spot to catch some of the beautiful fish that Florida is known for without a long offshore excursion.

On this 4 to 8-hour trip, Captain Don will take you to the inshore waters of Jacksonville to waterways such as the St. John's River, where you can expect to target a wide selection of fish including Flounder, Red Snapper, Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, and Tripletail. To attract these picture-worthy fish you'll be using a variety of techniques including bottom fishing, heavy tackle, light tackle and trolling. Just let Captain Don know what you want to catch and he'll get you set up with the best technique!

On this trip you'll be fishing aboard a 21’ Hewes bay boat with a capacity for 4 people. Powered by a 225 HP Yamaha engine, this vessel is maneuverable in the inshores and is sure to get you to where the fish are biting. It comes with GPS, Fishfinder, a Live Bait Well, a Wireless Trolling Motor, and an Ice Box to store your catches. Captain Don will also clean any keepers for no additional cost!

Captain Don will provide all rods, reels, tackle, bait, ice and beverages. All you need is your sunglasses, hat and sunscreen, and any snacks you might need. Catch some keepers with Captain Don!

Captain Don is truly a 5 star fishing guide. He's a better guy.
I've been fishing for over 50 years, and as I hoped, Captain Don showed me several ticks and trips I'd never seen.
No matter your experience level, he has something to help.
We had a great day on the water, and had a great conversation.
Darn fish just kept bugging us though.
