There's a fish with your name on it in Jacksonville and Reel Joy Fishing Charters will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Charlie is prepared to put you on fish.

You're likely to go after Amberjack, Cobia, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Cubera Snapper, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Black Drum, Black Seabass, Blackfin Tuna, King Mackerel (Kingfish), and more, depending on when you go. You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Charlie will bring you aboard a 22' Hydra Sports center console with room for 3 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Reel Joy Fishing Charters.

Fishing with Charlie
4 Hour Trip – Offshore on March 7, 20261 adult

Went out on a fishing charter this morning and had an awesome time. The captain was great, super helpful, and made the whole trip a lot of fun. We stayed on fish the whole time and ended up catching a bunch which made the experience even better. The boat was nice, the vibes were good, and everything was handled professionally. Definitely one of the most fun mornings I’ve had in a while and I’d 100% recommend this charter to anyone looking to get out on the water and catch some fish. Looking forward to coming back again soon 🎣🌊

Response from Captain

Thank you sir! I had a great time with you despite the weather conditions, an adventure to say the least, and I'm still kicking my self for the one that got away... Hope to see you again!

Amazing Offshore fishing
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 25, 20253 adults

This was an amazing trip! My friends and I love fishing, and this was our first time going offshore — it couldn’t have gone better. Captain Chali was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. He took the time to teach us how to catch kingfish, and we ended up landing 4 kingfish, a massive barracuda around 40 lbs, and an unforgettable sailfish — my first ever! The experience of reeling in a sailfish was absolutely thrilling. We even lost quite a few fish, but that only made us more excited to come back and try again. Captain Chali is truly a responsible, experienced, and patient guide, and we’re already planning our next trip with him! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an offshore adventure!

Reported catch:
King Mackerel (Kingfish)

Thanks! That was a day to be remembered.
