Amelia Light Tackle Charters 

I was a little nervous about the weather and our fish catching abilities so last minute I changed from 2 hours to 3. The captain approved this right away which was great. This trip was PERFECT for myself and husband as we are already relatively experienced at fishing. Our son is 9 and he was able to fish completely independently and caught his own fish, too. Our daughter is 5 and pretty much just hunkered down on the floor of the boat because it was COLD that day. She could've participated but I wouldn't recommend bringing children younger than 5-6 unless it is over 70 degrees out. The captain was as helpful as possible and put us on the fish despite crappy weather (cold, windy).

Wound up at Fernandia for my annual birthday trip. We typically charter a trip on each trip and were totally pleased. Captain Jesse putnus on fish immediately whereb I caight my first ever speckled trout, nice five pounder. while searching in shore for more of Captain Jesse's "secret" spots, we wound up catching a bunch of speckles and a few black drum, many keepers. A high light was the vast knowledge of the local history of the island and surrounding area Captain Jesse imparted. We will definitely give Captain Jesse a vall for our next charter in Fernandina. what a great day!

Our trip with Captain Jesse was great. My two sons (8 and 12) and I had a great day on the water. We were all able to catch fish and we were especially happy that we were able to catch several redfish, which was our ultimate goal. We were also able to catch several other species which was a plus. He was patient and took time to help the boys learn as well. Great trip!

Tried out a few spots and caught a nice variety of fish. Jesse was very knowledgable about the area and a really cool guy to hang out with for a few hours. Defineitly a must do!

Captain Jesse is a cool guy and got us on fish. He told us about the history of the area and showed us some fishing tricks. Nice day on the water and we got into the reds🤘 We caught trout, jack crevalle, ladyfish and a catfish but the high light was two bull reds. He’s easy to fish with and it was relaxed and fun for us all.

A great trip as always with Jesse. We got on a alot of action quickly, he’s always got a great story and is an endless weath of local knowledge. This trip included my five year old son and Jesse was wonderfully entertaining and understanding having a young person on board. Could not recommend Amelia Island Light tackle Charters more!

Captain Jesse is great! full service fishing trip! The 2 hour trip went by lightning fast. although we werent “in” the fish, we still caught 9. He was also very informative about the area and the historical significance of the old buildings. if it rains make sure you have rain jackets on standby and wear grippy shoes.

Jesse was the perfect captain for our family. He answered all of our four and nine year olds’ questions and was so good about making sure the kids always had a shrimp on their hooks and helped them cast. My husband and I got to fish too because Jesse was so on top of it. We had a lucky day and caught over 9 fish in 2 hours.

Jesse done an awesome job. Showed up on time with both live shrimp and mullet. It was constant action. We must have caught 15 different species of fish…totaling around 25-30 total…even mangrove snapper and a snook. I would highly recommend booking with Jesse he knows how to get you on fish.

Thanks Jesse for year 5 fishing with you! Always a fun adventure! See you next year!
