Make an adventure out of your next trip in Ormond Beach or Osteen FL and go fishing with J Hook Charters.

These waters are known for Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, Sheepshead, Largemouth Bass, Bowfin, Crappie, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few!

During the trip you might be spinning, popping, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in the area. Capt. James also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Feel free to bring home any fish you catch, assuming they meet regulations. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home without any hassle. Your next meal doesn't get any fresher than that!

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to get one from Captain James. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your adventure begins aboard a 18' Hewes Redfisher flats boat that holds up to 2 passengers. It comes with and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

A 15-20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

Fishing license is included. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Water is included. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

James made sure we didn’t leave empty handed. If the fish weren’t biting he took us elsewhere. Great experience!

James worked all day to keep us on the fish! We kept pulling fish we couldn’t bag but he didn’t give up and we wound up taking home a beautiful redfish. Dinner will be fresh tonight!
