Saltwater Junkie Fishing And Scalloping
Saltwater Junkie Fishing And Scalloping
Saltwater Junkie Fishing Charters is ready to take you on an adventure in St. Joe Bay. Operated by Capt. Cole, a 3rd generation captain, born and raised fishing St. Joe Bay.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Pompano, TripleTail, Black Drum, Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead and Spanish Mackerel. Based on the species you're after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, or maybe something more hands on like scalloping. Capt. Cole can also take you Flounder gigging.
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. Also remember to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
Your vessel for the day is a 24' Blazer Bay boat with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. 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, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It's always wise to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Kelli Daly•
Chicago, IL, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedVacation Highlight!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 13, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 childrenThis was our favorite thing we did the entire vacation! All 4 of our boys absolutely loved it. I had no idea what to expect, especially because we had little to no fishing experience. Cole was an amazing Captain and helped us with everything. We all caught so many fish (redfish and speckled trout) there was never a dull moment. The youngest boys learned to cast really far. We got a great tour of the area. Captain Cole even cleaned our fish and delivered it to us at the resort afterwards. Do not miss out on this excursion! This is a must do!!!
James TuckerRepeat angler•Georgia, US•Member since 20223 trips4.7VerifiedTough weather, but great time!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on August 20, 2026 • 2 adultsOur Captain and guide was Cole! A young buck but one of the most laid back and knowledgeable young men I have ever fished with! We had some rough weather roll in right as we started getting bites. Cole kept us on the fish until the sea's just kicked our ass! Cole pulled unto the canal to fish and ride out the rough sea's. Most guides would have called it a day. Once the weather improved, he put us back on the fish. Dispite bad weather we still caught our limit in Reds!! Reds, Triple tail, Flounder, and Trout with 2 to 3 ft sea swells. Awesome time! Every Captain has stories but as a 4th generation fisherman, Cole had many! Yes most were about his Dad, Uncle, and Grandfather, but great fishermens tells non the less. He will be my go to any time I'm at Port St. Joe for sure.

Booked our first inshore charter with Captain Cole. It did not disappoint. He got us catching some fish right away. Anytme the fishing slowed, he took us to another location. We fished multiple locations across entire bay. Cole was very knowledgeable being he and his family have lived in the area for generations. Awesome guy, highly recommend! We will definitely call Cole when we go back again!
Thank you Matt, I appreciate that! I enjoyed having y’all, Im glad y’all had a great time!
I had asked Cole to put my son on a hog for my son, he did not disappoint. he even topped of a bucket list for me. We didn’t spend all day jetting around the the bay but targeted producing areas. Could not keep but 2 red fish hogs, but we kept on catching and releasing. A memorable time for me to share with my son. Thank you Captain Cole! Ernie & Taylor
Thank you Ernie! I had a great time with you and your son, I’m glad I could put y’all on some good fish. I hope to take y’all again soon!
