5 Hour Trip – Early Morning Start on May 13, 2023
This was another, awesome outing with Captain Chris on the St. Johns River. With the experience of a prior outing, I brought my 9 y/o daughter along and we had a great first trip (for her) on the boat. Our first catch actually came with a cast net after seeing some mullet jumping. We then used these as fresh bait and landed a 24" Redfish followed by Mangrove Snapper and Trout on live shrimp/mud minnows. Captain Chris has a fantastic knowledge of the area and is our go-to charter for heading out on the north side of the St. Johns'. Highly recommend!

New to the area, we were looking to get out on the St Johns and learn more about the river while (hopefully) catching some fish. We couldn't have asked for a better first trip. Captain Chris provided great communication in setting up the trip, and he had everything ready for us when we arrived at the boat landing. He guided us to roughly eight different spots, or so, on the river during our 3/4 day trip, and we had bites on all but one catching Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Trout, Redfish, and Flounder. Chris's boat is kid-friendly (I'll be returning with my daughter) and perfect for a two-person trip. A turn-key charter, he had all the tackle and live bait we needed for a productive day. He even offered to clean the fish for us once we returned to the landing. All in all a great day to remember!

Was worried about rain but never happened. Chris, our captain, was just great. Took us all over the St. Johns in search of snook. Hooked one but broke off. Other than that caught a monster trout as well as several keeper red fish and almost too large trout. Highly recommend Chris. Plan to book another trip in the fall.
