Enjoy an incredible day of inshore and nearshore light tackle fishing with Captain Todd Philcox of Salty Charters Of Jacksonville. Captain Todd is USCG certified and he's also a retired NFL quarterback who has 45 years of fishing experience.

He started out fishing for Flounder, Striped Bass, and other inshore species in the waters of New York, Connecticut, and Long Island Sound. Since 2005, he specializes in targeting Redfish, Tarpon, Seatrout, Flounder, and many other species abundant in the inshore and nearshore waters of Northeast Florida.

Join the captain aboard his 21' Tidewater Baymax bay boat, perfect for fishing the creeks, shallow flats, St John's River, and jetties. The vessel can cater to up to 4 anglers of all ages and experience levels. It comes with a 150 HP Mercury engine, a wireless trolling motor, a live bait tank, an ice-box, and top-notch marine electronics and safety gear.

The charter will cover all the needed equipment, from the best professional Penn reels to live bait (usually prepared before the trip), and lures. Just make sure to bring your own fly fishing gear if you'd like to focus on this style. The captain will also clean and fillet all your hard-earned catch free of charge and provide fishing licenses and bottled water.

Captain Todd invites you to share his love for fishing and the joy of boating – don't miss the opportunity to join him on the water!

    Captain Todd was excellent

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 4, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Had an incredible half-day fishing charter with Captain Todd Philcox at Salty Charters of Jacksonville. Captain Todd was exceptionally attentive throughout the trip and put us right on the fish from the start. ​He worked hard to move us to a number of different spots, which allowed us to catch all the fish we needed early. We landed a great number of redfish, along with some nice jack crevalle and speckled trout. On top of the great fishing, Captain Todd was fantastic with our 10 and 12-year-old kids, keeping them engaged and helping them out the entire time. ​I would definitely recommend Salty Charters to anyone looking for a great day on the water, and we would certainly use them again!

    Variety and Weather Ruled Today

    Half Day Trip (AM) on September 24, 2026 • 2 adults

    My son Brandon, and my friend Steve enjoyed a wide variety today. Steve caught a 27 inch Snook (our first ever). We saw Tarpon for the first time (they were less cooperative). We caught Redfish, Trout, Snapper, Drum, Snook, Jack, Catfish, Stingray, and Ladyfish. All in the wind and rain. Appreciated Captain Todd going out today and as always with him it paid off. Super fun.

    Outstanding charter!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 8, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Todd is fantastic! We charter a lot and this was likely our best. Todd had us on good sized redfish within 10 minutes of leaving the dock. Kept it interesting too with more spots offering more variety (flounder, jacks, catfish, and tried for sea trout). We caught all morning. Everything is new and clean. We will be back again to charter with Todd

    Grandpa got skunked and loved it

    Half Day Trip (AM) on February 19, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    This was my grandson’s first charter and Captain Todd made the experience one to remember. My grandson caught 1/2 dozen fish and captain Todd was patient and thoughtful while giving him pointers. Captain Todd had some tough conditions to work in and still got us on fish. More importantly we were able to make a memories for a lifetime. Thank you Captain Todd, Jack and fully endorse his charter.
