Bug Sportfishing welcomes you aboard!
Growing up fishing all over the United States has introduced Captain James to lots of different techniques. The best way to describe his fishing style is somewhere in-between south Florida light tackle with a heavy dose of northeast influence. Whether you're fishing for tarpon in the pass or sailfish on the reef, Capt. James always tries to make the most of every opportunity.
You'll be fishing aboard the BUG, a 31' Contender Fisharound. The Bug is fast, comfortable, and fuel-efficient with twin 300 horsepower Yamaha Outboards. The Bug features a fully open cockpit offering 360-degree fishability and outfitted with the latest gear. With a single level deck, marlin tower and all the newest Garmin electronics, as well as FLIR night-vision you are prepared for anything that swims.
Whenever you're fishing for your target species, the crew is always ready for the chance to encounter something special. Capt. James thoroughly enjoys fishing artificials for inshore species and slow pitch jigging is one of his favorite techniques.
Beginners are always welcome and the crew will make sure your trip suits your skill level. While they carry all the tackle you may need, the crew prefers to use tackle on the lighter side of things to increase the fun factor
For Bug Sportfishing, catching fish is about having fun and making memories. See you at the dock!

Capt. James and first mate Daniel were a great fit for us. We had a perfect afternoon that included patient, friendly guidance for my grandson to learn to fish. He caught lots of yellowtail, plus we had the thrill of hooking a HUGE shark that my daughter in law had the excitement of reeling up to the side of the boat. Would highly recommend choosing Bug for your charter excursion!
Danny and James are stellar people and even better fisherman. We were able to both snorkel, and fish out in the deep sea. Would absolutely come back and do it again!
thank you Kamal! had a great time with yall! come back soon!!!!
Beautiful boat and really great guys. Gorgeous scenery. Caught 100+ lb nurse shark, yellowtail, big blue runners and others. Crew was great with my 10 and 12 yrs old boys. Crew knows their stuff and area and worked tirelessly to make sure we made some memories!
James is an excellent captain! He’s very personable and made the day memorable for my son (13yo) and daughter (20yo), who caught an awesome shark and a mackerel! James has excellent, well-maintained equipment, works hard to get you on fish and does a nice job communicating with clients leading up to the trip. You can’t find a better captain than “Bug” (James). If you’re thinking of a charter call him!

We highly recommend this energetic and knowledgeable crew, on a boat that was a pleasure to fish on! Multi species and exciting strategies! Genuine commitment to deliver maximum value and fun.
