Enjoy a day of fun in the sun with Peelin' And Reelin' exploring the abundant waters of Florida! Captain Troy Weaver has been fishing since he was a young kid, and his love for it never went away. He knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he'll take you to all of his favorite spots, making sure you have a fun and productive trip.

You'll head out on his 22' blazer bay boat, perfect for exploring the St.Johns river, and contributing estuaries. It's a great vessel for fishing with your family, as it can accommodate 4 anglers. The boat is powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine, and it features all the navigational electronics to help put you on the fish.

These waters are as rich as they are beautiful, and there's no shortage of fish species to target. Jacksonville, Fl offers some of the best inshore fishing in the North Florida, with a wide range of river spots, contributing estuaries, and the intracosal water way. You can expect to reel in fish such as Redfish, Black Drum, Spotted Seatrout, Mangrove Snapper, Snook,and Sheepshead.

Capt. Troy will provide you with everything you need to reel 'em in, including rods, reels, and tackle. You'll be fishing using either live bait or a range of artificial lures, depending on your target. The captain will happily clean and fillet your catch at the end of the day so you can enjoy a nice meal back home.

If you want to take your kid on an adventure and show them the joys of fishing, feel free to do so! This can be a great introduction to fishing, and it's a great way to bond. Bring anything you'd like to eat or drink, as well as some sunscreen for protection, and come have a great fishing experience!

All that's left to do now is book a trip and join Peelin' And Reelin' on your next fishing adventure!

    Such a great day!

    Half day (4hr) inshore trip on February 20, 2022 • 2 adults

    We booked this trip last minute while on vacation with family. My husband and I decided to take a few hours for ourselves and we are so glad we did. Captain Troy was very responsive to questions before our trip. From the moment we met him at the dock we talked non stop. He was very knowledgeable about the area as well as what fish were around during what time of year. While the weather didn't cooperate and was pretty windy so we didn't catch much, he kept trying and never got discouraged. He was very intuitive and seemed to know the exact second we would need our hooks baited again. We will definitely be making a trip with him again!

    Great Trip

    Half day (4hr) inshore trip on June 15, 2024 • 2 adults

    Captain Troy was very enthusiastic. My friend and I just came from New York and had never fished in Jax before. Troy kindly explained what types of fish are in season and how to catch them. We caught a lot of snapper and redfish. We are very grateful to Troy.

    Captain Troy knows the "hot spots"

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) on February 2, 2023 • 2 adults

    Captain Troy was awesome. Put us in the hot spots. If they didn't bite we moved to location that did. Done well with "Red's". Captain was super knowledgeable and fun. Very patient, and never minded our questions since we are from northeast Ohio, and never chartered in flordia, We enjoyed that 3/4 of fishing trip wasn't getting to spots to fish. We actually fished. Definitely will book with Captain Troy again.

    Unbelievable Charter

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) on August 2, 2021 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Troy went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great time. The first attempt we fished for about 45 minutes and a storm quickly moved in. This was after he landed us on a great fishing spot where my wife caught a 35 inch red fish on her first cast. We had to call it a day as the weather got worse from there. Troy gave us multiple other options to make up our trip throughout the week and after a couple of rainouts we finally had a clear day. Again, Troy landed us on a great spot where my wife landed another large redfish (32in) on her first few casts. He navigated us around the water and brought us to multiple fishing spots. He even let my 7 year old help drive the boat! Throughout all of it, we caught an assortment of different species and had around 5 keepers. I highly recommend booking with Troy for a charter. We already have a plan to come back and charter with him next spring! Thanks again Troy for everything!

I have had a rod in my hand ever since I was a child. The outdoors and nature are some of the most beautiful creations in life! Come enjoy a day inshore fishing on the St.Johs river, intercostal or creeks guided by your captain.

    Captain Troy was the perfect captain for our group of four. It was our first experience inshore fishing, and it was awesome! We are having so much fun. We even squeezed in an additional hour and caught even more fish. Troy was the perfect captain for our inexperienced family and was wonderful with our kids both 12 a boy and a girl. He put us on fish right away, showed the kids the various species teeth told us which ones taste of great to eat, and which ones were the most fun to cats and he was right every step of the way. Thanks for the wonderful experience. If you’re ever in Jacksonville and want a great experience, fish with Troy!
