Your trip begins aboard a 24' Carolina Skiff that was 100% custom built specifically for fishing in Homosassa Florida. Enjoy ample fishing space, dry storage, built in coolers and fish boxes, bluetooth stereo system and SHADE! That's right, ton's of shade on demand when you need it.

During the trip you might be spinning, popping, drifting, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. John also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed! You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as 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 a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
Don't leave home without sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that's it! Your fishing trip with Sassa Fishing Company is just a click away.

Michael Brossart5.0VerifiedGreat trip!
Half Day – Flats Fishing on September 28, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenMy son, grandkids and I had a great 1/2-day trip with Captain John! Great guy who wanted us all to catch fish. We caught a number of trout (what the kids wanted the most), many of which were keepers, grouper, sea bass and even a few ladyfish for hunting reds. Will definitely book again!

Elba Romero5.0Half Day Fishing Charter with Capt John Gordon
Half Day – Flats Fishing on July 10, 2025We had an amazing half day charter with Capt’ John. His knowledge & equipment is superior to other charters we’ve booked. We maxed out on Trout in just a few hours. We had such a great fishing charter we booked a scallop charter with Captain John.
