Join Saltwater Spoiled Fishing Charters for a fun and exciting fishing trip in areas like Lemon Bay, Gasparilla Sound, Boca Grande, and the Gulf of Mexico. Captain Ron Jones has been an avid fisherman his whole life and will provide a unique experience for veterans and novices alike.

You will be fishing aboard a 25' Carolina Skiff center console boat that is powered by a 150 HP Suzuki engine. Apart from all the standard safety and navigation equipment, the boat has a livewell for bait as well as a wireless trolling motor, which is a great help with easily spooked fish.

Southwest Florida has great fishing spots, and Captain Ron will show you what can be found in these inshore and nearshore waters in and around the Gulf of Mexico. A typical trip will have you fishing for Redfish, various Grouper, Snapper, Trout, Snook, Amberjack and more. Sharks can also be targeted on request.

Rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price of the trip, and Captain Ron will clean and fillet anything you catch after the trip for your convenience. Water is also provided, but you are free to bring along any other drinks or snacks you might want to have. A pair of polarized sunglasses is highly recommended for the best experience.

    Great Trip

    Full Day Trip on June 8, 2026 • 3 adults

    Worth the money, had a good time. Captain Ron was great. Very knowledgeable of the local history and geography. We started the day "catching fish" then moved to searching for the "catch of a lifetime". We experienced a fun lunch break together. Captain Ron was persistent at searching for that "big catch". We hooked what we thought was a 10-12 foot hammerhead, that we had seen circling the boat earlier in the day. Would highly recommend to anyone.

    Great time with our large group

    Half Day Trip - 2:00 PM on March 24, 2025 • 6 adults

    Thanks, Captain Ron for showing us a great time around Boca Grande, the fishing was good, we caught a lot of different species and Captain Ron was a great guide with lots of local knowledge. You can tell he cares greatly about the area and the wildlife, not only the fish but the Pelicans and the other birds and the dolphins. When the fishing slowed and we had our fill he took us on a nice boat ride through the area and showed us around.

    Great day on the water

    Half Day Trip on July 19, 2025 • 2 adults

    We were catching keeper Mango Snapers at the first stop. We had a fantastic trip. While we were fishing the FWC wardens stopped by to check that our boat and captain were legal. They were very courteous and did a thorough check of our catch and the boat. they found that everything was fine. Next time we go fishing it will be with Captain Ron.

    Fantastic Time!!!

    Full Day Trip on May 10, 2025 • 4 adults

    Captain Ron was amazing!!! He worked hard to find us good fishing spots. He spent time to make my kids laugh. He made sure our son got to catch fish on his own, and then spent time cleaning and fileting them afterwards. It was relaxing and fun and an all around good time. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

    Great trip

    Half Day Trip on July 3, 2024 • 2 adults

    Captain Ron was great. He was great with showing my 15 year old son on how to use the different baits and equipment. The captain was very knowledgeable on the fish and on where to find them and the area. I highly recommend him. He’s a fun and funny captain. Captain Ron really showed us he cares about what he does. We watched him after the trip catch two pelicans and remove hooks from them. He’s not only a good captain but a good person with a good heart

I have been fishing since I was a little guy. I have fished all over the Midwest and part of Canada. When I moved to Florida with my wife and children, I couldn't wait to get back to fishing. Once I caught my first big saltwater fish I was hooked, truly spoiled for saltwater fishing. I love taking people out for a good time of fishing or just swimming on the sand flats or beaches and some dolphin viewing. I love to share in that fish of a lifetime experience with people.
