Book your next trip with Screwloose Fishing Charters and find out what the fishing in Holiday is all about. Your guide for the day is Captain James, offering their professional experience.

Red Grouper, Red Snapper, Gag Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Amberjack, Yellowtail Snapper, Scamp Grouper, Hogfish, Grunt, and more can be found in these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year.

For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Trips with Screwloose Fishing Charters are child-friendly, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You're welcome to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Capt. James operates a 31' Center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, 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.

There's no need to buy a 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.

Don't leave home without sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Screwloose Fishing Charters and get hooked!

Full day trip
Full day trip on May 4, 2026
Went out with a group of friends on Screw loose fishing charters with Captain James Barker. As soon as we pulled up to the first spot, we drop our lines in the water and it didn't take long for me to get my first bite bringing up a solid 28 inch gag grouper, which is my biggest gag grouper to this day. After that, we started using live shrimn on the hattom catchina nlenty of han fish and finished our limit in an hour. Then Captain James took us to a wreck where we got to test our strength against amberjack. By the end of the day, we had plenty of fish To bring home to our families and we all had a blast. I would highly recommend going offshore on screw loose fishing charters, and I will be booking another trip soon.

Full day trip to the middle grounds
Full day trip on April 26, 2026
This is my second trip out with Captain James and my buddy Stephan‘s first trip. It did not disappoint. We took a ride out to the middle grounds and every spot we hit was just loaded with red grouper, gag, grouper, American red snapper and tons of amberjack everywhere. We got to see bottlenose dolphins also chasing flying fish and some giant sea turtles. You never know what you’re going to catch out on the middle grounds and it did not disappoint. Captain James‘s boat is filled with top-notch gear and is a very attentive captain. The 31 foot Grady rides amazing in those rougher waters offshore. I highly recommend screw loose charters for your offshore adventure adventures!

Such a great trip!
10 hour trip on June 9, 20264 adults
The Captain went above and beyond to put us on fish and made this trip enjoyable! Went out for Red Snapper and we limited out with lots of other bonus fish! This trip is great for everyone! Can't wait until the next time I can go out again. I'm sure my arms will be sore tomorrow. Make sure to reapply sunscreen in between fish.

Awesome charter
12 hour trip on April 30, 2026
Can’t recommend captain james more! He knows his stuff, knows where the fish are most importantly and he is a great guy! Fun chill vibes on the boat makes it impossible to not have a good time! Limited out on grouper for the boat in a hour and caught a bunch of other fish as well! Quality gear and nice comfortable boat to get you way offshore! If you are looking for a good captain that will get you hooked up on the fish, then James is your guy!
