Spend the day with Hoodoo Sportfishing Charters and get hooked on fishing in Fernandina Beach!

Flounder, Speckled Trout, Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, Tarpon, King Mackerel (Kingfish), and more can be found in these waters if conditions are right. On the day of your trip you're likely to troll using light tackle. Capt. Timothy also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Hoodoo Sportfishing Charters is a kid-friendly charter service, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don't forget to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Captains Chris & Tim Altman welcome you aboard a 25' Sea Pro bay boat with capacity for 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Fernandina Beach for yourself, with Hoodoo Sportfishing Charters!

Captain Chris is a rockstar!!
4 Hour Inshore Fishing Adventure on July 14, 20262 adults1 child

My wife and I wanted to suprise our five year old with a 4 hour inshore fishing trip for her birthday and after much reviewing of the options we saw that HooDoo looked like a great choice. we are glad we went with Chris and the HooDoo, we had a blast and our daughter had the time of her life, he put us right on the fish. We also went to multiple locations to get into the fish action. I would highly recommend Chris if you are looking for a family friendly knowledgable and fun captain for your next fishing charter!

2 Hour Trip – Kids/First – Timers - 11:00 AM on July 22, 20262 adults

Our family of four had a great time on the HooDoo Sportfishing Charter. Definitely recommend Chris and his expertise in helping us catch some great fish. Don’t hesitate to book HooDoo Fishing Charters for your next fishing trip. Great fun was had on The Pearl and fishing in Amelia Island. Can’t wait until next year to schedule another fishing trip with Chris.

Unforgettable Birthday Trip
4 – Hour Nearshore on July 9, 2026

Hoodoo Charters went above and beyond for my sons first charter! Chris was accommodating, informative and ensured we had a fun time. This was my sons 14th birthday present and he hasn't stopped talking about it. We will definitely be back for another charter! Great pricing, great conversation and smooth ride from beginning to end.
