    My husband and I had two beautiful Costa Rican days on the water with Captain Luis and Nick. They got us on great fish and took excellent care of us. They had us spoiled with some incredibe empenadas, freshly sliced pineapple, fresh ceviche, and excellent recommendations of places that were able to prepare our fish for us. When we come back we would absolutley use them again.

    What a day on the water with Captain Charlie’s Charters out of Jensen Beach! At 7 a.m. we headed out 15 miles offshore with our two boys and caught 8 blackfin tuna and 10 vermilion snapper in over 300 feet of water. The best part was seeing the boys’ excitement when we had fish on several rods at once! Captain Charlie took care of everything. He had a great system for keeping the rods organized and making sure everyone knew what to do, even when several of us were reeling in fish at the same time. You could tell he knew these waters and exactly which spots he wanted to fish. Having a captain who knows where to go and can keep things running smoothly when the action picks up made the trip so much fun for all four of us. At the end of the trip, he did a great job filleting our entire catch and bagged it all up for us to take home. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. Worth every penny! We’d highly recommend Captain Charlie and can’t wait to go back out with him in the spring!

    amazing day

    We took our four kids (10, 12, 14 & 16) out fishing today and had such an amazing day. Alek was knowledgeable, patient and helpful. We all caught a bunch of different fish and, most importantly, had an incredible time out on the water. Very cool for all of us to learn a bit about fishing in Miami from such an experienced local fisherman with deep roots in those waters.

    Great Captian and Crew!

    We had a group of 7 with very little fishing experience accross the board. The captian put us on the fish and the boathand kept us fishing with all the tips, tricks, and gear. We cought over 50 fish with almost 30 keepers. The whole crew was freindly and my group had an incredible time! I highly recommend the charter for anyone looking have some fun catching fish.

    we had an awesome time with Captain Dale and First Mate Kendall! we caught fish from the first time our lines were inbthe water until it was time to head in. Kendall was great! He was attentive and took care of our every need. Unfortunately Red Snappee seaso just closed, but we still caught plenty of fish. Thank you Class Act for a fun and amazing experience.

About Vermilion Snapper fishing

Size

Food Value
Good
Game Quality
Good

Vermilion Snapper fishing is all about steady action on light tackle. These bright, schooling Snapper are prized for fast bites, clean fillets, and fun fights. Anglers target them for reliable catch rates and delicious table fare after a day on the water.

You will often find Vermilion Snapper over reefs, wrecks, and hard bottom in mid to deep water. Captains usually use bottom fishing with small circle hooks, light leaders, and two- or three-hook rigs. Cut bait like squid or shrimp works well, and small jigs also produce when fish are holding mid-water above structure.

Expect quick hookups and doubles when the school fires up. This bite suits first-time anglers, families, and anyone who enjoys constant action without heavy gear. The fish are smaller than Red Snapper, so light spinning outfits keep the fight sporty and simple. Bring sun protection, a hat, non-slip shoes, and a camera. If you get seasick, consider medication before your trip. Your captain will handle bait, tackle, and finding the fish.

Regulations vary by region and can change during the year. Before your trip, check local rules for licenses or permits, open seasons, and harvest limits. Ask your captain about current regulations and whether catch-and-release is recommended for your area.
