If you are looking for the best light tackle fishing, look no further! Captain JP, with over 50 years of experience, will have you catching fish year round. Advance Charters with JP will help you make memories and learn lots while you fish!
Spend your day aboard a 26’ Panga, which can reach speeds of 50 knots thanks to a 200 Suziki engine. This beauty can easily run in 10 inches of water.
Capt. JP specializes in charters going after Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, Redfish, Flounder, Trout, and so much more! This is some seriously productive fishing and makes for a fun day. If you want to stay in sheltered waters, or the bay, this boat will easily fish skinny water. There are plenty of Sharks in our area if you dream of catching a Shark. There is always something to catch! Four people can fish comfortably on these trips, with plenty of room.
If you wish to bring your child along, they need to be at least 7 years old. Make sure you bring life vests for them!
Capt. JP will provide all rods, reels, lures, and bait. If you go offshore there may be an additional bait charge of up to $30. You just need to bring drinks, snacks, sunscreen, and polarized sunglasses.

Great Day on the water
5 Hour Trip on July 16, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child
After a cancellation by another boat because of engine problems was able to book a last minute trip with Captain Pic. This trip was to take out my fishing loving 14 year old son. The trip was perfect as Captain Pic was super knowledgeable about different styles of fishing and where to catch numerous different species on our 4 hour trip. We caught Amber Jack, Beeliners, Snapper, and Grouper. We were literally catching fish for 4 hours straight pausing only to move spots. Captain was very interesting to chat with as well. You won’t find anyone who knows more about fishing in the area. It was an awesome day fishing.

If you want a friendly hold your hand captain look elsewhere. If you want to catch fish and learn something in the process,JP is your guy. !
He got us out to our first spot really fast and we hit on fish right away. It was a busy five hours trying multiple spots and catching multiple species. He’s kind of a smart aleck but we appreciated his sense of humor

We had a great trip with JP and we caught several fish. He was very good with the two boys I took with me and teaching them the proper techniques to catch fish. I will definitely look him up again in future trips. Thank you for a great trip
