Hammerhead Hunters Charter Fishing
+112If you’ve ever wondered why people consider Florida a first-class fishing destination, then you should come to Carrabelle and see the natural and fishing beauties it has to offer. Hammerhead Hunters Charter Fishing and Captain Jamie Thomas has over 30 years fishing the Forgotten Coast and invites you to experience the marine life in Florida from his boat. Whether you’re a beginner or avid angler, you’ll certainly have a great time on the water.
You’ll begin your trip on a restored 30’ Century center console that can sit up to 6 guests. It’s powered by a twin 300 HP Yamaha engine and has full onboard navigation electronics. It features an ice-box and is equipped with snorkeling equipment and a livewell. There will be a first mate on the boat to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
You’ll go fishing inshore and offshore, visiting reefs, wrecks, and flats along the way. Captain Jamie uses both light and heavy tackle and he applies different techniques, such as bottom fishing, trolling, deep-sea fishing, spinning, and drift fishing. Some of the species you’ll target are Snapper, Grouper, Mahi Mahi, and Flounder. You can keep every fish you catch, but fish cleaning is not included. Kids are more than welcome to the boat, so be free to bring them as well.
The captain will cover you for all the fishing gear, as well as snacks, drinks, and even licenses.
Visit Hammerhead Hunters Charter Fishing and spend a memorable time on the water.

Great Family Trip
8 Hour Trip on July 18, 2024
We arrived at the marina and the weather was very questionable and I figured our trip was likely not gonna happen. Capt Jamie decided probably against his better judgement knowing that we really wanted to fish, we would try it! We went out and it cleared up and were able to make a full day of it and he put us on the fish! All around great crew that made it a great and memorable trip for 4 of our that had never been offshore fishing!

8 Hour Trip on June 1, 2022
I would highly recommend Capt. Jamie and our mate for the day, Sutt. It was a little choppy out but, if anything, the fishing was too good! Me, my son, and my nephew booked an 8 hour trip for the 1st day of red snapper season and almost from the minute the captain stopped the boat, we were on the fish. Due to my son getting seasick and the fact that me and my nephew were just too tired to catch any more fish, we had to call the trip about halfway through the day. If you want to fish offshore from Carrabelle, there is no better trip than with Captain Jamie aboard the Hammerhead Hunter. He even provided us a very nice place to stay for a very reasonable price at his lodge.

Half day 5 hr – Nearshore Fishing on July 29, 2022
Captain Jamie and Tyler were just as great as the experience itself!!!! The weather was good to us and was able to get out to the deep seas for some BIG fish! The guys were so attentive and helpful along with friendly which made the trip that much enjoyable! I have been fishing in many parts of Florida but will say this was the best experience yet! We appreciated the town, the people, the food and great fishing. Carrabelle, FL is on the map!

Half day 5 hr – Nearshore Fishing on May 20, 2023
A little rough but Captain Jamie knows where the good spots are. We caught plenty of fish and had a good time. I would recommend this charter. Unfortunately didn't get too many pictures because we were too busy fishing!

Your captain
Carrabelle, Florida, United States
Captain Jamie was born in North Fort Myers in Florida. He grew up there fishing the flats around Boca Grande Pass, Matlacha, and Sanibel Island, catching Snook, Redfish, Trout, Tarpon, Shark, and other fish. He later moved to Florida Panhandle where he has spent the last thirty years fishing the Forgotten Coast area. The most frequent question which people ask Captain Jamie after any trip is “What’s the biggest fish you've caught?” He's always excited to show off some huge trophy fish! This is why he started the charter business – to share with others the thrill of catching really big fish.
