On fish…Fish On
4 Hour Trip (PM) on June 25, 20242 adults

Captain Jessey is a quite adept at knowing where to fish and using the right bait. We went out looking for Black Drum and while the other boats seemed to be wandering about, Jessey put in them and we made limit. After that we headed two other spots for different fish and caught four stripers(threw them back) and a big bullhead which also was released. All in all it was a fun productive day. Please contact Shallow Minded Charters…you’ll be glad you did.

Born and raised in Little River, I've spent my entire life on these waters—both inshore and offshore—learning every creek, inlet, and reef this area has to offer. Fishing isn't just something I do, it's what I've grown up doing, and it's a passion that's been part of me from the start. I've been a licensed captain since 2011, and over the years I've built my experience through countless hours on the water as well as competing in inshore, offshore fishing tournaments. Tournament fishing has taken me to different places and pushed me to constantly improve, but it's also deepened my respect for the sport and the local waters I call home. What sets my charters apart is the hands-on experience I provide. Whether you're an experienced angler or stepping on a boat for the first time, I take pride in teaching, guiding, and making sure every trip is both productive and enjoyable. I'm especially passionate about getting kids involved in fishing and helping grow the next generation of anglers. At the end of the day, my goal is simple—put you on fish, share my knowledge, and make sure everyone on board has a great time out on the water.
