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!
Thanks James! fun time with your family this morning! 
To say this was a productive trip is a huge understatement. Captain Todd not only led us to great fishing (redfish - primarily), but incredible guidance and kindness. He knew the waterways really well and we never stopped catching quality fish from the time we started fishing until the trip was over. He will definitely see me again when I return to Jax Beach this fall. We caught reds up to 33 inches, trout, flounder, and jacks. Incredible trip and Todd led us to great fishing. Thanks, Tim, Brandon, and Steve
thank you for the kind review Tim! I had a great time with you guys on Friday afternoon. Look forward to seeing you again in the future. 
we've been on several charters with various captains, but this was special. Cpt Todd put us on the fish. the boat was super clean, max bait, fun, awesome music, best we've experienced in decades. definitely going out with him again.
Thanks so much, James! I had a great time getting your family out fishing last week. 
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
thanks, Dan! I had a great morning with you and Kevin! 
Captain Todd is amazing and put us on fish right away. He’s an excellent teacher/coach and I’d highly recommend going out with him! We are eating our fish as I type this.. haha 😂
Thanks Barry! had a fun afternoon with you and Kelly. Hope you enjoyed your fish dinner and your visit here to Jacksonville.
