Book your next trip with confidence! Captain Jared has been fishing Southwest Florida his entire life and loves being a fishing guide. He caters to your needs whether you’re an avid angler or you simply want to bring the family along for a fun fishing trip. Visit him in Placida and let Living On The Line Charters take you on a memorable day on the water.

You’ll be fishing from a 24’ 2017 Skeeter SX 240 that accommodates up to 4 guests. The boat is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine and features a Minn Kota trolling motor, a 10’ Power Pole shallow water anchor, and Simrad GPS and fishfinder. This is a fast and well-built boat that will give you lots of time to fish.

Charlotte Harbor, the Gasparilla and Pine Island Sounds, and the Gulf of Mexico all combine to create a world-famous inshore and nearshore fishing experience. From hard-fighting sport fish such as Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, and Trout to good-eating creatures such as Grouper, Snapper, Tripletail, and Sheepshead, Captain Jared has you covered. Pick-up locations and custom fishing trips can also be arranged.

The livewell will be full of bait and Shimano rods and reels lined up before you even come aboard! After your trip, the crew will even fillet and bag your catch for you to enjoy a tasty dinner. Just bring some snacks and you’ll be ready for the fun.

Captain Jared and his crew are professional and friendly anglers ready to make your trip the best trip possible with Living on the Line Charters.

Family Trip
4 Hour Trip Snook, Red fish, Trout on August 21, 20252 adults3 children
We had a open day while vacationing and last minute booked a trip with Jared. Hands down one of the best fishing guides we have had. I have three boys, two of which were exhausted from the vacation itself and Jared did amazing with them. He was patient, kind, and funny. He pointed out things for the kids to see such as a dolphine, manatee, and stingray. We caught quite a few fish, as well as trees and a few bridges, and a few rat nests in our lines from the boys casting over one another. Which again Jared didnt bat an eye at. He would ask the boys "what happened" 🤣 we would definitely fish with him again. If you head out with him, ask him to taste test the line if you lose a fish. (Inside joke)

Peak experience!
4hr Tarpon fishing with a sunset on June 10, 20252 adults
If you want a completely great experience fishing for Tarpon, then do not hesitate to book with Jared @ Living on the Line. He is very experienced, extremely knowledgeable about Tarpon, very helpful & "savvy" about fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. I did catch a monster Tarpon with Jared as the guide. If you want to fish for other species like Redfish, Snook, Sea Trout, or Permit, then he is your Man as well. I very much look forward to fishing with him again - it was an amazing experience fishing with Jared & the whole experience could have easily been a National Geographic Special - book with him - you won't be disappointed!

Great day on the water
4 Hour Trip Snook, Red fish, trout on May 13, 20252 adults
We had an amazing experience with Captain Jared on our recent fishing charter out of Boca Grande. I brought my wife along for what was her first time fishing since she was a kid—and thanks to Jared, she’s completely hooked now! Captain Jared was the perfect guide: knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone has a great time. He knew exactly where to take us for the best action and made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and exciting. His boat was clean and comfortable, and he had all the gear ready to go, so we could just enjoy the day and focus on reeling them in. Seeing my wife light up with excitement every time she got a bite was the highlight of the trip. She’s already asking when we can go back—and there’s no question we’ll be booking with Captain Jared again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable day of fishing, whether you’re experienced or brand new to the sport. Thanks again, Captain Jared!

4 Hour Trip Snook, Red fish, trout on December 27, 20244 adults
Capt Jared worked hard to get us on fish. We covered multiple areas from mangrove islands to docks. Caught a variety of fish but seemed to be frequently shadowed by dolphins today, which although entertaining did not help the cause. Capt Jared is very knowledgeable and has been fishing these waters most of his life. He did not waste time if an area did not hold fish and quickly moved on. Boat is comfortable and handles skinny waters well. T-top is welcome break from sun on hot days.Will go back out with him in future.

Fantastic trip
4 Hour Trip Snook, Red fish, trout on July 15, 20255 adults
Our crew of 5 went out for a morning excursion. We had a fabulous time with Captain Jared. We tried hard for some tarpon early AM but they wouldn’t play. We sprinted over to black drum hot spot and nailed them for hours. Great captain, great conversation, great experience for our less experienced crew. So much fun!!
