You're likely to fish for Blacktip Shark, Black Seabass, Whiting, Weakfish, Flounder, Skate, Bull Shark, Hammerhead Shark, and more, depending on conditions. On these trips, you can expect to drift and bottom fish using light tackle.

Ashlyn Jewel Charters welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to keep their stamina going!

Amazing Experience!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on September 12, 20254 adults

I 100% recommend Ashlyn Jewel Charters. Captain Todd was amazing. He knew all the best fishing spots and was extremely knowledgable. I booked this trip primarily for my boyfriend’s birthday, but my mom and grandmother were also with us. He was incredible with my grandmother and she ended up catching the biggest fish out of all of us! My boyfriend had been trying to learn how to fish these waters and Captain Todd took the time to give him a lot of great tips / pointers. He has been catching fish here since that day. We also greatly appreciated the fact that he took the time to fillet the fish that we had caught for us. 10/10 Thank you for the amazing experience, Captan Todd!

My boys and I were hoping to get on some flounder, and Todd did not disappoint! Caught 20+ fish in total, including a couple keepers. Todd was friendly and fun to be with. Hope to do it again next year. Thanks for a great time on the water!

Best flounder fishing
4 Hour Trip (PM) on August 11, 20263 adults1 child

we had a wo derful time with Todd. A great down to earth guy who worked hard to turn an imperfect tide into magnificent fishing. The boat is nothing to look at but the captain is top notch amd worked hard to get us fish. i think he enjoyed it as much as we did. We’ll be back the next time we’re un the area.
