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.

Great time on the river!
4hr trip on April 1, 20262 adults
We had a great time on the Halifax River with Captain James. He took us around to multiple spots to try our luck. We took home a flounder, which Captain James filleted for us. Captain James did a great job guiding me and my 13 year old son.

A lot of firsts!
3 Hour Trip (AM) on June 13, 20252 adults
James did a great job of keeping us entertained, while also helping us catch fish! We hooked into snook, trout, catfish, and a great Tarpon! We also got to see some dolphins, manatees, birds, raccoons, and more. It was a great day out in nature and I would recommend James to anyone looking for a highly rewarding yet chill experience!
