There's a fish with your name on it in Jacksonville and Mayport, Florida,
and Life Changing Charters will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Stewart knows them forwards and backwards.
These waters are known for Flounder, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Spotted Seatrout, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You're welcome to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Your vessel for the day is a 23' Carolina Skiff that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Don't leave home without sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks for you on board.
And that's it! Your fishing trip with Life Changing Charters is just a click away.

For my husband Birthday we booked woth Captain Buddy. Our first time and let me say it was the best experience we ever had. There will be more trips in our future. Captain Buddy knew the best spots to catch fish. Also very kid friendly. Captain taught our son how to fish and by the end of the trip our son was doing his own thing and caught 5-6 fishes all by himself. I recommend Life Changing Charters to the fullest! Great way to spend time with friends or family !
Thank you Ashley, it was my pleasure! im looking forward to more trips with your family! great job Alex!😎🎣
We showed up bright and early and buddy was already there to greet us with everything we need. He got us RIGHT on the fish and we were catching them in no time! He took time to help teach us and really seemed to love what he does. It's like fishing with a friend! We got a ton of fish and had an amazing time! Highly reccomend :)
