Hook'd Up Charters
Hook’d Up Charters Inshore & Nearshore Guided tours to include Sunset Hop aboard for a new fishing adventure with Hook’d Up Charters and Captain Jeff Jenkins! Discover the productive inshore and offshore fishing of Eastern Florida with your local guide, who will use his angling expertise to make sure you have an amazing time on the water.
Join Capt. Jeff on his 22’ bay boat that is well-suited for different fishing conditions and can take out up to 4 people. The vessel is equipped with up-to-date navigational electronics to ensure you have the smoothest ride and get to the fishing grounds quickly and safely. There’s a live bait well on board, as well as a trolling motor to help you sneak up to your catch.
You’ll use quality Shimano light tackle for your inshore trips, and Penn and Shimano gear for offshore fishing. If you’d like to do some fly fishing, the captain can provide the equipment, or you can bring your own. A variety of lures and live bait are included in the price, as is your fishing license.
Capt. Jeff runs inshore and offshore trips that are fun for all levels of anglers. On the inshore excursions, you’ll fish the Indian River in search of Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Snook, and much more. If you pick an offshore trip, you’re looking at the possibility to hook Mahi Mahi, a variety of Snapper and Grouper, and King Mackerel. For the ultimate angling challenge, target feisty Sailfish and acrobatic Tarpon.
Whatever you decide to keep, your guide is happy to clean and fillet after you come back to land. Capt. Jeff’s trips are family-friendly and he loves teaching kids how to catch their first fish. It’s recommended that the little ones be at least 6 years old to join you on the trip, life jackets for them will be provided. All you need to bring is sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and maybe some snacks.
Team up with Hook’d Up Charters and let your Florida fishing escapades begin!

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)
Great day on the water
Fishing with Jeff Jenkins in Vero Beach was a fantastic experience, especially for the kids. We spent the day inshore, exploring the calm waters and casting lines near the mangroves. Jeff was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and engaging with the kids, making the trip both fun and educational. The variety of fish we caught was impressive—mangrove snapper, snook, catfish, jack, and even some black drum. The excitement on the kids’ faces with every catch made the day unforgettable. It was the perfect family fishing trip in the beautiful waters of Vero Beach. Thanks Jeff for a great day

Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM)
Great multi-generational outing!
Booked a trip for father, son and grandsons outing. Capt Jeff was great with all ages! Communication was fantastic. He reached out well advance with news on weather that would make it less fun for the kids and worked to reschedule us for a better forecast. The day was perfect, we all caught fish, and we learned a ton about the local waters and history. He filleted our catch and his promise they’d be excellent eating was spot on. An unforgettable day and the youngest generation is now hook’d. Thanks again!

Great Experience for the Family
Captain Jeff was fantastic for our In Shore Morning fishing charter. He kept the fish coming in and was very knowledgeable. He was great and patient with the kids, teaching them proper techniques and celebrating with them as they made their catch. We will definitely be booking with Captain Jeff again next time we are in the area.

Another one in the books!
We had another amazing morning fishing inshore with Captain Jeff. He is very knowledgeable in the tides and different currents. He knows what and where everything is biting and takes you right to them. The best part is that you get to take what you catch home with you, if it’s legal size! Y'all check him out! You won’t be disappointed!

Captain Jeff
This was our first fishing trip with my son in law and grandson. Jeff was extremely patient with us and very knowledgeable about where to fish. Even though the muddy water made it difficult to fish, Jeff knew where to fish and showed us the techniques to help us catch our fish. My grandson is excited about our next trip.
