Day trip with Captain Jimmy
6 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM) on September 3, 2025
Cap'n Jimmy is very knowledgeable about the local waters and worked hard to get us on the fish and keep our rods bent!! We caught reds, blue fish, mackerel, flounder, sharks, sea bass, and much more. Going near shore off the beach was an awesome time and one of our guys hooked into a monster fish that ended up winning the long fight! His charter comes with everything you need for fishing artificial lures or live bait. All you need is a cooler to bring home the fish your sure to catch! Thanks Cap'n, we'll be back!!

I enjoyed our day together on the water. It was my pleasure to watch you fight those fish and I’m glad you took some fish home to prepare for your family. Thanks for fishing with me and I look forward to our next adventure on the water.
