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!

Unbelievable fishing
Half Day Trip (PM) on April 17, 20262 adults

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

Response from Captain

Grandpa got skunked and loved it
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 19, 20261 adult1 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.

Response from Captain

thank you, Michael, enjoyed having you and Jack out today. Hope to see you again in the future!

We had such a wonderful fishing trip with Todd! He made the whole day enjoyable and relaxing. Todd was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and patient—especially with my daughter, which made the experience even more special. He clearly knows all the right spots to cast, which made the trip both fun and successful. Thanks to his guidance, we had a great time on the water and left with wonderful memories. Highly recommend!
