Likely Fishing is located in St. Johns and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.
Capt. Michael will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in light tackle, trolling, jigging, and popping, all to get you on that bite. This involves 2 to 4-hour trips, mainly fishing for King Mackerel, Flounder, Sheepshead, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, and Snook, depending on the season and conditions on the day.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 25’ Sea Hunt boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat features a toilet and a wireless trolling motor. 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.
The captain will supply all the needed fishing licenses for your trip and you’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip. Capt. Michael 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.
Children are welcome aboard so you’re good to get the young ones started early.

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on December 28, 2024
We had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Rob! Even though it rained off and on and water was a bit rough to catch some of the fish we were after, but the challenge was just part of the experience! We loved the trip enough we were able to schedule another trip before heading home. So excited!

We recently celebrated my husband’s birthday with a fishing trip chartered through Likley Fishing, and it was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we boarded the impeccably clean vessel, Captain Nevins welcomed us with a warm and knowledgeable demeanor that set the tone for the entire day. Captain Nevins' expertise in the local fishing spots and his understanding of the gaming and fishing laws were impressive. Thanks to his guidance, my husband caught a stunning 9 lb, 28-inch Red Fish, which was the highlight of our trip. The joy and excitement of that moment were truly priceless, and it was all made possible by Captain Nevins' skill in navigating the best fishing locations. The whole experience felt very personalized and well-organized, which made us feel extra special on this important occasion. Captain Nevins went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time, and it was evident in every detail of the trip. I highly recommend Likley Fishing for anyone looking to create lasting memories on the water. Whether you’re an avid angler or a first-timer, Likely Fishing and the crew will deliver an exceptional experience. A heartfelt thank you to Captain Nevins for giving my husband the time of his life on his birthday—we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful adventure!

First off, Mike was a great Captain! Skillful at the helm, and keeps an emasculate boat. The riding was smooth and dry. Secondly, he was attentive to the wants of specific species we were after, and definitely delivered. Caught a slam of red, trout, and flounder. He can find the money slot reds too. He also has a great character which made the day enjoyable all charter long. His instruction was clear and easy to understand to get you on the fish. He had nice gear, and all pre rigged ready to go for the charter. A lot of the time you don’t get the personality with captains, but with Capt. Mike you do. Great fishing, and a great time all around. You can’t beat it! Definitely recommend you booking with him. I look forward to a Nearshore trip with him soon.

Half Day Trip – Kingfish (AM) on November 1, 2022
This was one of the best fishing trips I've ever had! The boat was very clean and the crew were extremely professional. Captain Mike entertained my family with humorous tales of his past expeditions and even made my son a honorary first mate. In no time at all, Mike had us reeling in monster kingfish! I swear it's like he knew where they were hiding. When you're with Captain Mike you're "Likley" to catch some fish! (That's a joke using his last name. I told him to use it as a slogan but he thought it was dumb. But he can't stop me from putting it in this review. Who's dumb now?)
