Explore the bountiful North Florida waters with one of the largest boats in the fishing fleet out of Jacksonville, FL with HooDoo Sportfishing Charters! Your guide for the day is Captain Tim, who has trophies from several fishing tournaments under his belt. He’s also been featured in fishing magazines and teaches High-Speed Wahoo Trolling seminars all around Florida, so many experienced anglers will probably recognize him.

Your adventure starts on a 36’ custom-built Contender that accommodates up to 6 anglers. This center console sticks to the rule “safety first”, which is why it has every safety feature available, including satellite phones with texting. The boat is powered by 3 300 HP Suzuki engines, that ensure a fast and comfortable ride at all times.

The boat has everything you need to find the best spots and catch the fish you’ve always wanted. She has downriggers, outriggers, kites, a wireless trolling motor with a precise anchoring system.

There’s a variety of species to catch around here, so it’s best if you decide in advance what you want to focus on. You can troll for Sailfish, Wahoo, Marlin, Tuna, and Mahi Mahi, or visit the reefs and wrecks for Cobia, Grouper, and Amberjack.

The crew will be by your side, ready to assist whenever you need them. After the trip, they’ll clean and fillet your catch.

Your fishing equipment and licenses are included in the price. You only need to pack some snacks, drinks, and sun protection.

Taking a trip with Hoodoo Sportfishing Charters is one of the best ways to find out what professional fishing looks and feels like.

Welcome aboard!

Full Day 8-Hour Trip on May 31, 20254 adults2 children
Captain Tim was awesome! We did not have the wind on our side and the forecast just didn’t happen the way it was supposed to. Captain Tim still put us on fish. The kids had a blast, we all had great conversation, it was just a great trip. We will be booking with him again.

4 Hour PM - Kingfish Trip on August 26, 20234 adults
Our trip began with a cruise along the beach looking for live bait. The baitfish were scarce so Captain Chris headed offshore and quickly adapted our itinerary to bottom fishing. We were kept busy catching Red Snapper and a few other random species. Captain Chris kept everyone’s hook baited, and offered tips on technique. The most exciting moment was when my son hooked something big enough to run away with the line. He struggled to reel it in and after fighting it for a few minutes the line snapped. Captain Chris speculated it was a Goliath Grouper. On our way in we trolled for Tarpon and got a hit but the hooks didn’t set. It was a great day on the water and we learned a lot. Hoodoo Fishing charters provided a personable and professional fishing experience and I would recommend them to anyone.

6 Hour Trip – Nearshore on September 5, 20222 adults
Less than an hour on our spot, as other captains on radio were bailing out, Cap’n Tim and Mate Jeff had my 13yo fighting our 3rd meaty King, 2 already in the box. The 3rd King was reluctant to be caught and my kid fell out fighting the fish first to heat then sickness. 2hrs into a 6hr charter I knew the day was over. Cap’n Tim and Jeff responded with kindness and empathy. After my son fed the fish and slightly recovered Mate Jeff tried to distract him by teaching my boy to tie knots. But the day was done. End of day the 3 Kings gave us enough meat that we could share with neighbors. My son blew past the negatives and has been tying rigs with the knots Jeff taught him and putting them in bags just like Cap’n Tim. Not the way we drew it up, but success is measured in different ways. Had I been with my buddies, or my son on a different day, Ive no doubt Cap’n Tim could fill those fish boxes to the brim.
