Book your next trip with Keras Fishing Charters and find out what makes the fishing in Jacksonville so unique. Your guide for the day is Captain Michael, offering their sportfishing experience.

You're likely to go after Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Flounder, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Black Seabass, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, Gray Triggerfish, and more, depending on the time of year. On the day of your trip you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Keras Fishing Charters is a kid-friendly charter service, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! 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 be dropping lines from a 25' Sportsman center console with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Fun day of fishing!

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore on September 5, 2026

    Booked a 6 hour offshore trip. Capt Mike was at the dock with the boat ready to go. Boat is very nice. It was comfortable and had plenty of room for the three of us. He had all the necessary equipment and the fishing gear was all good quality. He found the bait pretty quick then we headed offshore to bottom fish. Boat rides nice. The bite was very good at the spots we hit. Filled the cooler pretty quick with a good mix of fish! On the way back in he wanted to try trolling for some kingfish. It didn’t take long and ended up with 4 nice kings. Came home with plenty of fish for several dinners! This Capt. knows where the fish are! Will definitely be booking again!

    October fishing trip

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore on August 12, 2026

    We had an absolutely AMAZING time fishing with Captain Mike! 🎣 From the moment we got on the boat, he made the entire trip so much fun and made sure we had the best experience possible. You can tell right away that Captain Mike knows exactly what he’s doing and, most importantly, he knows how to find the fish! We caught SO many fish and had an incredible time out on the water. Captain Mike was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He knew exactly where to take us, what bait to use, and how to put us on the fish. Every time we thought the action might slow down, he seemed to know exactly where to move us to keep the bites coming! The boat was great, the experience was even better, and Captain Mike made the whole trip effortless and enjoyable. Whether you’re an experienced angler or someone who’s just looking to have a fun day on the water, I HIGHLY recommend booking a trip with Captain Mike. If you’re looking for a fishing charter, BOOK WITH CAPTAIN MIKE! You will not be disappointed. We had an unforgettable trip, caught tons of fish, and are already looking forward to going back! 🎣🐟🔥

    Great captain family friendly. Great with kids.

    4 hour Inshore/Jetties (copy) on October 2, 2026

    Had a great time caught some amazing fish. The captain was really patient and handled kids like they were his. He was willing to take time and show us everything that goes into fishing. He makes safety a top priority which meant a lot to us. Id definitely recommend this crew for any trip inshore of offshore. He has a lifetime of experience.

I've been fishing the waters of Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia for over 50 years, both inshore and offshore. I also spent 15 years spearfishing off our coast, which gave me a unique perspective on how fish relate to reefs, wrecks, ledges, and other structures. Over the years, I've fished throughout Florida, Georgia, and internationally, gaining experience with a wide variety of species and fishing techniques. I've competed successfully in numerous tournaments, including a second-place finish in the Nassau Sportfishing Association Kingfish Tournament, along with several high finishes in redfish tournaments. After a lifetime on the water, I decided to turn that experience into Keras Fishing Charters. My goal is simple: to give my customers a safe, enjoyable day on the water while sharing the knowledge and experience I've gained over the past five decades.
