Neptune Fishing Charters invites you on a lovely fishing trip on the inshore and nearshore waters of Florida. Join Captain Jason Scripter in Clearwater and together embark on a fishing adventure. You'll enjoy wonderful nature and have lots of opportunities for landing a great catch!

Your trip will start on a 22' Pathfinder 2200V bay boat powered by a 250 HP Yamaha Saltwater Series II engine. There's space on the boat for up to 4 anglers. It uses modern GPS, fishfinder, and radio systems for navigation, and is equipped with a wireless trolling motor and livewell.

You'll have a wide range of fish to catch. Redfish, Snook, Sheepshead, Grunts, Mangrove Snapper, and Shark are just some of the species you can target. Using light tackle, you can try out bottom and deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, and jigging. You're free to keep all the fish you catch provided it's in season. Also, kids are more than welcome to join your trip, so this is a great opportunity to have a lovely family stay in nature.

Captain Jason supplies you with all the gear you'll need, which includes rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and lures, but fishing licenses as well. He can also clean and fillet your catch so you can prepare it right away when you return home. You should just pack your favorite food and drinks before you start your journey.

    great fun, lots of bites

    2 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on August 5, 2026 • 4 adults

    4 of us fished in a 2 hour trip about 2 miles out to sea. We got about 90 minutes continuous fishing and we caught a load of edible grunts as well as several other species like toadfish, lizard fish, ladyfish (which was one that got away but what a lively sleek fish that thrashes around and leaps out of tbe water), puffer fish, a 17 inch red grouper and a coupe of other different grouper species. very diverse waters. we asked for the best chance to catch edible species and that is exactly what we got. Jason kept us very busy with nonstop rebaiting and handling the continuous catches we were landing and moved short distances when necessary to make sure we never stopped fishing. We eventually bagged about 40 grunts, deceptively strong small fish that he expertly gutted, de-boned and filleted back at shore and we must have caught a total of double that as Jason threw back what we couldnt take home. We left with enough fish to make fish tacos we will cook tonight for 13 people rocking up at our villa in Kissimmee. I would strongly recommend Jason not just for his knowledge, personality and help but for his passion in wanting us to have a great time. His instructions and advice were easy to follow and if you have youngsters who want to experience fishing in the Gulf, this would be perfect, particularly landing a grunt that feels far syronger than its size would imply. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed the trip and we are looking at a 4 hour trip for shark which we ate trying to fit in during our 3 week stay. Hopefully we can. Thanks Jason for a memorable experience.

    July fishing trip

    3 Hour Trip on July 29, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    I booked a trip with captain Jason with Neptune charters and requested to go for my first shark..I took my two younger sons with me and not only did he get us into a shark he was very patient with the kids helping to keep them busy while we were patiently waiting for a shark to take the bait…once we landed the shark he was quick to get us to the next spot where the boys could continuously hook into fish.. I will definitely be using him again in the future and would recommend him to everyone

    Will not regret!

    3 Hour Trip - 8:30 AM on May 7, 2026 • 1 adult

    I’ve always wanted to fish while on vacation here in Florida. I booked Neptune to take me to the good spots and I was NOT disappointed!!! Captain gave me a quick run down and we were headed out. We arrived at one of his spots and as soon as my line hit the water I got a bite! We fished there for a while and got enough for a couple meals then headed to another one of his spots for some bigger fish. I wasn’t able to land a Tarpon but I sure did see them breaking water all around us. I highly recommend! Definitely a 10 out of 10 and look forward to booking with Captain Jason again!

    A fun family experience

    4 Hour Trip on April 6, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Our family had an outstanding experience with Neptune Fishing Charters. We were simply hoping to enjoy some time on the water and catch a few strong, exciting fish—but Jason exceeded all expectations. From the moment we started, the action was nonstop. Nearly every time we reeled in a fish, another line was ready to go, and we were hooking into fish again almost immediately. We caught an impressive variety, including hogfish, sheepshead, lizardfish, and grunt, and were even able to keep 20 fish. Jason was an exceptional captain whose top priority was ensuring we had the best possible experience. Whenever the bite slowed, he quickly repositioned the boat, and the difference was immediate—we were back to catching fish at a rapid pace. As a Clearwater native, his knowledge of the local waters and species was evident throughout the trip. He was also fantastic with our youngest son, who has limited saltwater fishing experience. Jason was patient, attentive, and encouraging, teaching him techniques and keeping him engaged the entire time. He stayed one step ahead of everything—whenever bait came off a hook, he was already prepared with more. This was truly our best family fishing excursion, and we look forward to booking with Neptune Fishing Charters again in the future.

    Father and Son fishing day

    2 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on March 21, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    I absolutely can not say enough good things about Captain Jason. He's a true professional. I booked the trip hoping my son would have a great experience. Captain Jason did not disappoint. I completely understand they call it "fishing" and not "catching" but Captain Jason did everything he could to make sure we caught fish. We actually lost count...true story. He explained everything to my son and knew the names of the different species we brought onto the boat. I highly recommend Neptune Fishing Charters. Do it right, go with the professional. Book Caption Jason and have a great experience.

    Don’t set the hook reel reel 🤪🤣😲 uhoh tried to set the hook again eh?

    4 Hour Sunset Trip - 1:00PM on March 21, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    my son grandson and I had a great day out on the water with Jason. He was a great instructor even though one of us in the group kept reverting to thinking we were catching smallmouth bass in the St. Lawrence river 😳 He had us on fish all day, and we caught many different species and enough sheep’s head and grunts to have a tremendous lunch at a local restaurant he referred us to after our outing Would highly recommend Neptune and Captain Jason if you’re considering fishing in the Clearwater area. If we find ourselves back in the Clearwater area, we will indeed contact Captain Jason

    Caught Our Lunch and Had Fish Tacos!

    2 Hour Trip - 9:00 AM on March 14, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    We had an awesome fishing trip with Captain Jason! I took my 10-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son, and he was incredibly patient and knowledgeable with them. We caught some great fish — flounder and sheepshead — and he did a great job teaching the kids along the way. We even hooked a shark, but it got away, which made it even more exciting for the kids. The highlight was having fish tacos for lunch made from the fish we caught that morning. Such a cool experience and a really memorable day for our family. Highly recommend Captain Jason if you’re looking for a fun and successful fishing trip!

    Best birthday trip!

    2 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on July 11, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    My son wanted to go on a fishing trip for his 10th birthday and this turned out to be perfect. Jason made sure we were all comfortable and had a great time. We didn't have super high expectations but it turned out to be very successful. He recommended a small cute restaurant down the street that cooked up our fish and ate a delicious dinner. My son said it was the best birthday 🥰 def would book again thank you sir!

    Nice Day Out

    3 Hour Trip - 8:30 AM on July 25, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Jason was thoughtful, friendly, knowledgeable, and considerate. He asked questions and consistently checked in with us to make sure we had a great time. It was great to have the opportunity to learn more about the fish we caught and ither wildlife around us. I would be more than happy to use his services again and recommend him to others.

    Captain Jason was on top of the fish right away. We caught white grunt, flounder, and mackerel. Even caught several red grouper but they were too small to keep. What a great experience. The only complaint was we should have booked a longer trip!
