My husband and I had an amazing experience with Jake on our fishing adventure while staying in Treasure Island! From start to finish, he showcased his knowledge of the area, making the trip not only fun but also informative. Jake was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. We had a fantastic time and were thrilled to catch five different species of fish! The directions to the dock were straightforward, which made it easy to find our way. Communication with Jake was seamless, ensuring everything went smoothly. If we find ourselves back in Treasure Island, we won’t hesitate to book another charter with Jake. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a great fishing adventure!

Thank you so much Bobby Jo! I really appreciate the very kind words and look forward to seeing yall on the boat again sometime!
Captain Jake was thoroughly knowledgeable and experienced in every aspect of fishing. He knows the local fishing spots, the conditions and habits and details of how to actually catch the specific fish. He is a great teacher and tailors his approach to your current level of skill. I think he has the patience and teaching skill to engage novice children and the expertise and experience to give a seasoned fisherman a great day of local fishing. His boat is nice and well equipped and he provides all the tackle and bait. He communicated well about what we should bring and what to expect. He enjoys what he does and gave us a perfectly enjoyable day.

Thank you so much Jerril! Im glad you guys enjoyed your morning on the water and hope the experience can transfer over to some success for you guys when fishing on your own too!

We booked a trip with Captain Jake for our son's 6th birthday as total beginners. Captain Jake was a fantastic teacher and had us oriented to the rods in no time. Our little guy caught a fish in his first five minutes! It was a fun day on the water catching a bunch of different types. Another highlight was a mom and baby dolphin that stayed by our boat for an hour-- closer than any dolphin-watching tour! Captain Jake is incredibly knowledgeable as well as warm and friendly. We had a wonderful morning with him and can't wait to book our next trip!

Thank you so much for the kind review Lauren! I had a fun day sharing our fishery with you and your family and i look forward to seeing your crew back on the boat sometime!
Took my husband for his birthday gift and it was definitely an amazing time. Capital Jake was very helpful and took us all over to make sure we were able to catch fish that we could take home. Definitely the best gift I could have gotten my husband! Captain Jakes personality and knowledge of the area made the trip amazing! Thank you for a great experience Captain Jake!

Thank you so much Cassie! I had a fun time celebrating and catching fish with you guys and hope to see y’all again sometime!

Me and my son did the 4hr trip and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made. Captain Jake was so helpful, and knowledgeable. He was having as much fun as we were. He made us feel so comfortable on that boat. Knowing we weren’t pros, it didn’t matter. He gave us pointers all day long. We caught a ton of fish. It was honestly just a great day. If you are looking to fish with literally not having to worry about anything, Captain Jake is a great choice.

Thank you so much Chris, You and your son are welcome on my boat anytime! Hope you guys enjoyed the rest of your trip down here!

Hey folks, I'm Captain Jake Nickol. I am a Florida Native Born and Raised in Pinellas County. I have been fishing our local waters since about the time I could walk. First on docks and piers like the Redington Long Pier and Skyway fishing pier, then wade fishing the flats of the bay, I saved up my pennies and eventually got a kayak and an old 14' fiberglass boat to explore the bayous and backcountry waters. After graduating college I began working for a local seafood company running a commercial fishing boat for grouper and snapper and earning my Captain's License. I now run inshore and nearshore fishing charters sharing my lifelong passion for fishing and our world-class fishery with my guests! I look forward to sharing a day on the water with you soon!
