Fantastic trip.
Half Day Offshore - 1:05 PM on March 16, 2026 • 2 adults

my son and I went fishing, and had an amazing time. Highly skilled captain who loves fishing and knows his local waters. We had high winds but he was able to get us off shore where we landed a large King fish. He then rolled out the Kite and we locked on to a gorgeous sail fish. It fought for over 30 minutes, and when we brought it alongside the bost we took some pictures of it and realesed it. It was a gorgeous color and deserves to be live and free in the ocean. Overall an amazing trip, we’re definitely coming back. Thank you captain.

August fishing trip
Half Day Offshore on August 20, 2026 • 3 adults

The weather and water were perfect this morning. The captain was good and had exceptional gear. My son caught a large shark and my wife had a good time. It was there first time to go out on saltwater. Hope to come back next year for a full day out on the water with this charter. I would recommend this charter because the captain let us participate in the whole fishing trip and not just sit and reel the fish in.

Beautiful Day - Great Fishing
Half Day Offshore on June 17, 2026 • 2 adults

We had a great day fishing with Captain Jed. Kept busy catching snapper, yellow tail, mutton, and my first sail fish. Captain Jed made sure we always had lines in the water and ready to go. Great day wiry my son. I recommend Captian Jed to new and experienced fishers looking for a knowledgeable, hard working captain.

Epic trip! Jed was fantastic. We hit the grand slam—landing a tarpon, a jack, and a monster snook. It was an unforgettable day on the water. If you’re looking for an incredible fishing experience, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Jed!

I grew up fishing with my father. It was through watching him that I fell in love with the sport/art of fishing! Every chance I got as a kid was spent on the water chasing fish. Now I have the opportunity to do what I love every day. I hope to meet you soon.

    The captain was very knowledgeable and navigated the rough waters well. he was very good with communication and letting us know beforehand where to be etc. We didn' catch anything (not without Captain Jed trying!) on the open water but we did catch a barracuda on our way back! The day was good, the wind/waves were a little tough but it was a good experience.
