If you’re looking to explore Jacksonville, Florida’s prolific fishing grounds, an adventure with Team Buck Rogers has to be at the top of your "to-do" list! Captain Chad Starling, the man behind this charter, runs a variety of trips that are suitable for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you want to hook your personal best or just learn the ropes, he’s got you covered!

Capt. Chad has over a decade of experience when it comes to angling, so it’s safe to say he knows exactly when and where the fish are biting – as well as what it takes to reel ‘em in. He specializes in bottom fishing and trolling, and on most of the trips he runs, you’ll have the option to take advantage of both of these techniques.

If you’re a newer angler who would rather stay closer to shore, you can join your captain on a shorter trip, which will see you casting your line for species such as Snapper, Grouper, and Mackerel. If you want to battle some notorious sea beasts, you can even opt for a special Shark trip in these nearshore waters!

For anglers with more experience, or seriously adventurous beginners, you can choose to head offshore, which is where the big boys live. You’ll troll and bottom fish for world-famous species such as huge Red Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Sailfish. Your captain will be on hand to show you the ropes.

No matter which trip you opt for, you’ll be traveling on board a 27’ Polar center console, "Drop Plan," built to accommodate up to 6 guests. Bring along your best angling buddies, or make this a family vacation to remember – children of all ages are welcome aboard. This vessel is decked out with top-quality navigational and safety gear, so your little ones will be in safe hands.

Each trip includes top-of-the-line fishing, as well as a fishing license for all guests. Just bring along your favorite snacks and drinks, and get ready to cast off on an unforgettable adventure with Team Buck Rogers!

6 Hour Offshore Trip (PM)

Best time ever!!

VERIFIED

Captain Jeff was astounding!! He put us on the Kings and in no time we had some great looking keepers! Moved around some to catch some other keepers, but wasn’t in the cards today!! Did catch some really great looking Reds, but had to throw them back because the season was over. Captain Jeff kept us entertained by letting us hook a few sharks, the largest one was about 5-6 foot long, and man o man were they one heck of a fight! Already looking to plan my next trip with Team Buck Rogers!! Thanks Captain Jeff for an amazing trip!! YALL ROCK!!

Fishing with Captain Joe

We had a great time with Captain Joe! He was very knowledgeable and helpful for my friends and I who were on our first trip. We did the 8 hour trip and caught a variety of fish including King, Trigger, Cobia, and Sea Bass. He filleted our fish and recommended a great place close to the marina to get them cooked at. Definitely recommend booking with Team Buck Rogers!

8-hour trip with Capt. Bill

VERIFIED

We had a great 8-hour trip bottom fishing. Capt. Bill knows the hot spots and we caught a variety of fish! We went about 22 miles off shore. Bill’s instructions and assistance with landing the fish, keeping up with all 5 of us was great. He cleaned everything we caught in short order.
