Ready to catch some fish in Cedar Key? Jerald's Coastal Tours and Fishing is your ticket!

These waters hold game fish like Black Drum, Speckled Trout, Redfish, Bull Shark, Cobia, and more if conditions are right. On these trips, it's common to drift using light tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are also a good idea to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your vessel for the day is a 24' Carolina Skiff that holds up to 8 passengers. It has all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's recommended to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

A great trip!
4 to 6 hours of cedar key fun on June 12, 20262 adults

We had a fishing charter booked at a crystal River cancellation, we looked to see if there was an availability with a Captain on a former guided trip we took. Capt. Jerald had an availability for us so we were able to have a fishing charter on the day that we had initially planned to take off of work.  our initial charter was strictly a sharp charter and I had no requests when we booked with Capt. Jerald but when he heard that we initially had a trip planned for shark he said we’ll do shark and he put us on the sharks.  it was such a fun day.  my husband ended up catching an 8 foot nurse shark which was a thrilling experience just to watch him bring it in after 25 minute fight. Ironically, he also caught the smallest shark, which was practically a newborn black tip. I hooked into many sharks and ended up landing a good 3 foot bonnet ahead. What a unique shark.  he even informed us that he does night, shark charters, and we have actually booked to return with him on Friday, June 26.
