Adam Schooler5.0VerifiedGreat Trip
6 Hour Trip –Bottom/Offshore on July 21, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 childCaptain Ed was awesome! The surf was too rough to go offshore, but he didn’t miss a beat and took us to the intercoastal where he knew exactly where to find the fish. We caught a bunch, had a great time, and he cleaned everything for us at the end. Absolutely recommend him — we’ll be booking again next summer.
Mark Fields5.0VerifiedGreat Excursion & Service
4 Hour Trip – Intracoastal on July 20, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childWe thoroughly enjoyed our excursion. Our captain was courteous, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We were able to navigate a few spots and in each location reeled in a few keepers. The conversation and great service were icing on the cake. Highly recommend!
Lora Robinson5.0VerifiedGood with kids!
6 Hour Trip –Bottom/Offshore on July 28, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childTook our 8 year old grandson out to catch a few big fish. He reeled in 2 10 pounders (with some help). Ed was a good coaching him through the process and making sure he had fun. The adults also cought 1 each.
Daniel WhitakerRepeat angler5.0Verified8 hour offshore trip
8 Hour Trip – Bottom/Offshore on July 15, 2026 • 3 adultsHe put us on fish in multiple different spots! We caught some nice Amberjack, a 10ft or so shark, & a few other species. Had a great time on the water, wouldn’t hesitate to book with Fishstick Charters again!
Russell FererRepeat angler5.0VerifiedPerfect Trip
6 Hour Trip –Bottom/Offshore on March 10, 2026 • 4 adultsEverything was great. We were catching fish literally within 1 minute of our bait hitting water. First time all 4 of us couldn’t keep count of how many fish we caught. You will be put on fish.

6 Hour Trip – Intracoastal on November 28, 2025 • 3 adultsMy husband and i had a great time with Captain Ed on our fishing excursion. He is an awesome Captain. We only wished for better weather conditions. We will see you on our next trip to Florida. Thank you!

6 Hour Trip –Bottom/Offshore on April 17, 2025 • 4 adultsFishing trip with Ed was awesome. Ed was great to deal with from the beginning. We originally had planned on fishing the Wednesday of our trip and Ed messaged back recommending Thursday if we were available due to better conditions and boy was he right. Captain, boat, tackle and weather were great. Ed put us on fish all day, snapper, jacks, shark and a few other types. We are avid fisherman and we were not disappointed. Next time back in St Augustine we will definitely be back on with Captain Ed and Fishstick!!!!!!!
Laura Gustafson5.0VerifiedPerfect Guys day outing
6 Hour Trip – Intracoastal on June 18, 2024 • 4 adultsBooked this trip on a vacation for the guys for Father’s Day and they all had a blast! The captain was great about knowing all the spots and when they weren’t having success in one spot would quickly move on to a new one where they would have more success. They said he was friendly, easy to talk to, and felt like he was one of the guys with them. They were able to catch some to bring back for dinner that night! Would definitely recommend to others and we would book again if we are in the area!

Fantastic fishing trip!!!
10 Hour Trip – Bottom/Offshore on July 31, 2024 • 2 adultsMy wife and I book a 10 hour deep sea trip with Captain Swain and Fishstick Charters. The captain is very personable and knowledgeable. The boat / gear was in tip top shape. We had a great day and caught several different species of fish including several personal bests. If I could give more then 5 stars I would. We will definitely be booking Fishstick Charters in the future.

My daughter and I did a little of the fishing, but the trip was mainly for the two boys, ages 8 and 13. All together, I think we caught more than 32 fishes of several different species. And a few more were hooked but pulled off before we could get them in the boat. That is even though this is generally not the best time of the year for fishing in this area. Captain Swain was very personable and did his best to instruct our boys in technique. At the end of the trip, Captain Swain cleaned all of the catch that we kept, And we were able to take the catch to a seafood restaurant not far away, where they cooked it for our lunch. We really enjoyed that!
thank you for the kind words and great review. It was a pleasure taking you and your grandsons on the fishing trip, hope to see you again. Fishstick Fishing Charters.

Thanks for the recommendation and I’m glad you enjoyed your fishing trip. Fishstick Fishing Charters.
We had a great time on the 6 hr trip. Our party included two adults and two teenagers. We Couldn’t have asked for better weather. Edward was very professional and welcoming. We caught mackerel and Cobia pretty consistently during our whole trip.
Glad you had fun! Fishstick Fishing Charters
