Based out of Jacksonville, Hoodoo Sportfishing Charters is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Capt. Timothy will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, jigging, and spinning, all to get you on that bite. This involves 4 to 10-hour trips, mainly fishing for Redfish, King Mackerel, Cobia, Dolphin, Sheepshead, and Sailfish, depending on the season and conditions of the day.

Your adventure begins on board a 25’ Contender, the Hoodeux, that can fit a maximum of 5 anglers. The boat is fitted with a toilet, ice box, and wireless trolling motor.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing.

No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter.

You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so.

There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated.

Capt Tim says he became a Charter Captain because he loves to put people on fish and is committed to go the extra mile to do so. He has been fishing all of his life, but for the last 25 years, he's concentrated mostly offshore and in competitive tournament fishing. His real joy is watching someone catch something they've only dreamed about. Capt. Tim is a retired military veteran, serving on active duty from 1981 to 2009. He created the Facebook Group "Wahoo Junkies" that has around 12,000 members worldwide. Tim has been featured in the Florida Sportsman Magazine and does High-Speed Wahoo Trolling seminars throughout the state for the Florida Sportsman Expos. In addition, he authors 2 for columns for Florida print publications and does Podcasts and Livestreams about Offshore Fishing. So if you're willing, there is a great chance your charter would be featured in one of his media outlets with pictures of your epic day. Fishing is his passion.
