Island Angler Charters – Island Angler I
+12The waters surrounding Jekyll Island are a treat for fans of inshore and nearshore fishing. There are numerous hidden inlets and bays dotting the coastline, as well as estuaries and river confluences that provide amazing grounds for fish to feed and breed in. Island Angler Charters takes full advantage of this and will put you on the hottest bite around!
Join the captain on board our brand new 25’ C-hawk with twin 140 Tohatsu outboards. That allows you to waste no time travelling and get down to fishing as soon as possible. She can comfortably hold up to 6 anglers, so put your fishing team together for some an exciting fishing adventure!
You’ll get the chance to try out a variety of techniques, assisted and instructed by the captain as necessary. Bottom fishing, trolling, and popping, all while using light and heavy tackle will give you the best chance at getting that bite. The species you’ll target are all fantastic fish such as Redfish, various Sharks, Barracuda, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Whitings, Silver Kings, and many others.
All required equipment is supplied by the charter captain. Lures and live bait are available, the bait is caught during the trip, it usually takes around 30 minutes. The first mate is on board to assist you and to clean and fillet your catch, but he works for tips so gratuity is appreciated. Customers are advised to bring sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and adequate clothing with them.

Amazing Trip!
6 Hour Trip – Offshore (MAX 5) on May 30, 2025
We had a blast with Shelby and Trey on this trip! The weather was a little rougher than anticipated so there were some changes to the plan early on but this didn’t slow down our catches at all! All four of us were able to pull in everything from baby bonnet head sharks to a 50lb stingray! We each reeled in some huge sharks and all sorts of stuff in between! The crew was helpful and knowledgeable. Could not recommend more!

6 Hour Trip – Nearshore or Inshore on April 19, 2025
We met Andy and Trey at 8am and hit the water. Captain Andy knew a great place to start off of Little Cumberland. We almost immediately got onto rays, sharks, whiting, and I even caught a Jack Crevalle. He had so many lines in the water, it never really lulled. Great friendly service. Always there to bait your hook or fix your setup when you break off. Definitely will be back!

4 Hour Trip on May 14, 2025
We enjoyed our time with Captain Andy and Trey. We enjoyed reeling in everything we could hook. Even the ones we couldn’t keep. We would definitely book again the next time we are on Jekyll Island.

My wife and I down to Jekyll Island for our 50th. We both love to fish so booking a trip through Fishing Booker was in the plans. Booking was very easy. Our trip was booked with Captain Andy Hicks on the Island Charter II. we had a great time and caught a bunch of fish. We kept the Speckled Trout and the Flounder and are having them for dinner tonight. Great trip, great crew, and we will book again next time here!
