As a former Professional Baseball Player with the New York Yankees, Minnesota Twins, and Washington Nationals organizations, Capt. Jason Jones knows all about the hard work and dedication it takes to become a 'Professional'. You can expect that same hard work and attention to detail for a 'Professional' Fishing experience when you choose Strike One Fishing Charters.

Capt JJ provides an unmatched level of patience and instruction while captaining his crew because of his coaching and athletic background. Capt. JJ has been coaching baseball for over 18 years and fishing all over Tampa for the last 15 years.

Family fun fishing is what we do. Capt JJ loves to share his passion for the outdoors with all ages. What separates Strike One Fishing Charters is the professional and top-notch experience while fishing. You will be comfortable and have plenty of shade on the boat while fishing with Strike One Fishing Charters. You will be able to fish out of the comfort of a newer boat with a full tower (second station) for shade. Having the best of both worlds, this boat's hull can handle plenty of waves, yet still float in 12 inches. There are plenty of places to sit and ride comfortably, and many cup holders on board with a big 80 qt ice cooler. No expenses were spared in customizing this boat for family fun fishing!

    The Absolute Best!

    A 'Double' Charter – 4 Hours on March 12, 2025 • 6 adults • 3 children

    This charter was hands down the best experience of our most recent trip to Florida. Captain Jason was fantastic. He was incredibly patient with our kids, thorough in his explanations, and was there to help with anything we needed. We will definitely come back again to fish with Strike One.

    It has been some time since I updated this blog because I have been on the water so much. Fall fishing has been the best it has been in quite some time. The Tampa Bay Redfish has made a nice resurgence and we have been catching some big fall Snook. The Speckled Trout bite has remained solid all fall. The Fall season starts winding down with these cold fronts but Winter fishing has picked up right were fall fishing left off. We have switched to using shrimp for live bait instead of pilchards which brings some new fisheries in the mix like sheepshead.l
