Based out of Carrabelle, Drop Zone Fishing is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Capt. Jd will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, and big game fishing, all to get you on that bite. This involves 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Grouper, Snapper, and Triggerfish, depending on the season and conditions on the day. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it's legal to do so.

Your adventure begins on board a brand new Bluewater 2850 at 31 feet long boat that can fit a maximum of 6 anglers. The boat is fitted with an ice box.

All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that's up to you is to use it as best you can. No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter. Capt. Jd runs trips together with his first mate, who's there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done.

Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Drop Zone Fishing.

Federal snapper trip on July 3, 2025

I sent my children who are in there older teens and twenties along with my 75 year old mother on a 8 hour charter deep sea finishing adventure with Captain JD and Christina and they treated my family like their own. Not only was there plenty of fish caught but the stories they came back with were even better. I cannot thank both of you enough for taking care of my family but for giving them all memories that will last forever.
