About Your Trip

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with Captain Jeff as you explore the pristine waters of the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean around the Melbourne-Sebastian area. With the flexibility to launch from multiple locations depending on the weather and fishing conditions, your trip is tailored to ensure the best possible experience.

Join Captain Jeff in search of inshore gamefish like Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Sea Trout , and other game fish’s that roam the flats and mangrove shorelines of Sebastian Florida. Or opt to go nearshore reef fishing for species like Mutton Snapper, King Mackerel, large Tarpon, Cobia, and other game species.

You’ll be fishing aboard a versatile 24’ Pathfinder bay boat, equipped with a powerful 300 HP Yamaha engine. This vessel is perfect for up to 4 guests and is ideal for both inshore and nearshore trips. Captain Jeff provides all the rods, reels, and tackle you’ll need, as well as live bait to entice those trophy fish. Feel free to bring your favorite snacks and drinks—just no glass, please.

With techniques ranging from light tackle and live bait fishing to jigging and sight casting, Captain Jeff tailors each trip to your skill level and preferences. Whether you're chasing a personal best or enjoying a day on the water with family and friends, this adventure promises excitement and unforgettable memories!

Hi my name is Jeff I am a fishing guide here in Brevard County Florida. I specialize in light tackle and fly inshore angling on the flats of the space coast. I also run Nearshore trips into the Atlantic Ocean out of port Canaveral and Sebastian inlet. I have two boats a 18ft Beavertail flats boat and a 24ft pathfinder bay boat. Both boats are kept on trailer so I can fish anywhere within reason...
