There’s a fish with your name on it in Port Mansfield and Jerry’s Fishing Charters will help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Jerry, who specializes in family trips and making great memories!
Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Redfish, Black Drum, Flounder, Snook, and more inhabit these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year. On these trips, it’s common to drift and bottom fish using light tackle.
Your vessel for the day is a 25’ Center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Capt. Jerry has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself. Kids are welcome aboard.
You might need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It’s always wise to bring snacks, drinks, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Half Day Trip (AM)
If you’re ever thinking about booking a fishing trip, you have to go with Jerry’s Fishing Charter. We went out with him recently, and it was honestly one of the best experiences we’ve had in a long time. Jerry is super laid-back, knows his stuff, and just makes you feel at home on the water. We caught a ton of fish, laughed the whole time, and learned a lot too. He took care of everything—we didn’t have to stress about a thing. It felt more like a fun day out with a buddy than anything else. Whether you're a seasoned fisherman or just trying something new, Jerry makes it easy and enjoyable. I’d 100% go again—and already planning to! Can’t recommend him enough. Seriously, go book it. You won’t regret it.

From booking to trip day, Jerry demonstrated professionalism and instinctually knowing you’re with an experienced, trustworthy and caring guide who goes the extra mile to ensure the trip was unforgettable. The cold front may have resulted in many cancellations but not with this guy! His knowledge and positive energy paid off resulting in a cooler busting with reds, black drum and (my favorite) a sheepshead (who can’t love those crazy teeth)😁Thank you so so much Jerry, your passion for the sport and joy in sharing your skills is evident. You’ve set the bar high and are now our Fishing Guy! Steve, Katie and Shawn

As soon as we got to the dock jerry greeted us with a smile and small conversation. At that point I knew it was going to be a great time. He was prepared and immediately went to his spots. Had a lot of fun and caught the state limit. Highly recommended
