Go Fish Stuart Charters/Tours – 18'

On your day out with Captain Jeremy Neff with Go Fish Stuart, you will always be able to find a calm place to fish in the river!

Capt. Jeremy has been running an inshore fishing guide service since 2010. He has been fishing around the St. Lucie and Indian River Lagoon areas since he was four years old, which makes him one of the most knowledgeable charter guides in the area.

Fishing aboard his 18’ Dolphin Skiff, Capt. Jeremy offers inshore charters that can reach the skinniest of water. He generally uses live bait to target the fish, although he is also a keen fly fisherman. He uses light and heavy tackle both day and night, particularly enjoying fly fishing for Snook, Trout, and other species during the night. As long as the tide is moving, the fish generally eat.

With the countless species of fish to chase, you’re bound to have a rewarding trip, especially if you end up hooking one of the many fish in the river weighing up to forty pounds. And if you decide to fish when Tarpon is in town, you could well end up with a beast weighing up to two hundred pounds.

All the necessary gear and tackle will be provided for your charter. Your food and drinks are welcome on board along with any “lucky” rod you want to bring with you.

Capt. Jeremy's grandfathers both loved to fish and they instilled a love for spending time outdoors in him when he was young. The captain was born in Dayton, OH and was 5 years old when his parents moved the family to Stuart, FL in 1981 from NJ. They lived three houses from the St. Lucie River on Pelican Dr. Captain Jeremy's oldest brother would take him down to the St. Lucie River to fish where he learned to catch Snapper and throw a cast net. The captain never stopped going down to the river after that. His mom would have to come to get him at dark and back then the neighbors would turn their dock lights on for you. Captain Jeremy remembers wishing and praying that he could swim and play in the river every day. His dream has come true! The captain has been operating a fishing guide service out of Stuart since 2010. He just loves for the rod to bend and enjoys teaching people how to fish while showing them the wonderful place he got to grow up in.
