Wild Catch Fishing Charters LLC
Incontra il Capitano Jerry…
Il Capitano Jerry Vrbanovic è un Capitano Marittimo certificato dalla Guardia Costiera degli Stati Uniti per imbarcazioni fino a 100 tonnellate. Suo padre era un pescatore commerciale e Jerry è cresciuto ammirando il lavoro di suo padre e aiutandolo ogni volta che la sua barca tornava al Fisherman's Wharf di San Pedro.
Jerry ha sempre amato tutto ciò che riguarda la pesca e trascorreva tutto il suo tempo libero ai moli vicini. Quando aveva dodici anni iniziò a lavorare come pinhead sulla barca da pesca sportiva Monte Carlo gestita da Paul Strasser dell'Independence Sport Fishing di San Diego. Presto si fece strada fino a diventare marinaio, e fu da questa posizione che Jerry imparò l'arte del servizio clienti eccezionale.
Inoltre, l'esperienza di Jerry lavorando sotto capitani di talento gli ha insegnato l'importanza della sicurezza e della manutenzione della barca. Ha continuato a pescare nel suo tempo libero e ha fatto molte uscite di pesca a Catalina Island e in Messico.
Amava portare a casa sacchi di tonno, black bass, ricciola e rockfish pescati in natura. Lui e suo padre spesso preparavano piatti tradizionali croati poiché entrambi amano cucinare e nutrire gli altri.
Jerry sognava di gestire la propria attività di pesca sportiva nel Golfo del Messico e decise di fare di Sarasota la sua casa. Il suo obiettivo è mostrare ai suoi clienti una fantastica giornata di pesca. Ama mandare le persone a casa con pesce splendidamente sfilettato pronto per essere cucinato e divorato!

This was the first charter for two of my boys and Captain Jerry didnt disappoint! We were originally planning to head out to fish the reef but the water wasnt going to cooperate with that. So, we stayed inland and the Captain found us some nice spots to fish. we reeled in some mangrove snapper, crevalle jack, and even a small flounder that we had to release. Stickney Point bridge was a bit of a bust - but the Captain made sure the boys got to fight a few last fish before we headed in for the day. We’ll definitely head out on another charter (hopefully to deeper waters) and when we do, the only Captain we are calling is Jerry!
Captain Jerry is top notch, knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. A likeable and personable guy who made me feel welcome, felt more lile i was hanging out fishing with a buddy as opposed to a stranger i just met. Needless to say he found the fish and we caught a plethora of different species at various locations throughout the day A wonderful experience was had and i would not hesitate and plan on booking another charter in the future

I have to say that Captain Jerry was one of thr best captain I ever been lucky to be fishing with on my vacation! If anyone has a chance to book a trip for fishing, it would be best to see if Wild Catch Fishing Charters because he will make sure you have a great experience and catch plenty of fish! He is a family man and you dont have to do anyting except keep reeling in the fish!!!
Captain Mike did his best to make the trip very enjoyable for my family. Waves were a bit rough and he found a great spot where we caught a lot of snapper, along with some other species. He recommended a great location that cooks your catch and it was absolutely amazing, putting the final stamp on a great day. I definitely recommend and we will be booking with Wild Catch Fishing Charters again!
Our fishing trip was a last minute booking for my wife, 2 teenage children, and myself. Captain Jerry very quickly returned by call, was truly excited we booked, and assured me that we would catch fish, which we did. On a 4 hour afternoon trip, Captain Jerry quickly put us on the fish. We caught 5 Spanish mackerel, 2 large sheepshead, and 6 grunt. Captain Jerry was very engaging and a nice person. I would definitely recommend fishing with Captain Jerry Vrbanovic with Wild Catch Fishing Charters!
My group of 6 had the best morning with Captain Jerry! Loaded up the boat & headed to a close spot for a few quick catches. Then headed another 7 miles out where everyone in our group each caught multiple fish. Captain Jerry was great about moving to the next spot if the fish werent coming. Very pleased with our excursion. Will be coming back to fish again or for a day charter around Siesta!
Jerry was funny and a great captain. He took pictures of all our catches. We caught over 20 fish but kept 18. He was mindful of one of our passengers being sick and checked on her. We would book with Jerry again.

Captain Jerry was a super good guy with great knowledg of the fishing in the area! We moved a few times to get on the fish and then it was non stop fun. Highly recommend and well be back for sure.
We had a great time! Jerry was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We told him all we wanted was for our son to catch fish and he made sure that happen. Would definitely book another trip with him!
We had an awesome trip with Captain Jerry! We had 3 adults and 3 kids and he was fantastic with everyone, especially the kids. He was patient, helpful, and made sure everyone had a great time. We caught fish and had a lot of fun out on the water. Highly recommend Captain Jerry if you’re looking for a great day fishing!

Thank you for the great review! It was a pleasure having you and the boys aboard. Even though the conditions kept us from heading offshore, I’m glad we were able to find some fish and make it a fun day on the water. Their excitement made the trip even better! I truly appreciate your trust and look forward to getting your family back out soon for another adventure—hopefully in deeper water next time. Thanks again for choosing Captain Jerry! 🎣

Darin, Thanks for hanging out with me today buddy! im glad you had a fantastic trip and hope to see you back soon.Till next time, Captain Jerry
I booked a fishing trip with Captain Jerry for my son (10) and me during his Spring Break. We had a fantastic time. Capt Jerry communicated great leading up to the trip. He even offered to flex our time because it was going to windy. (We couldn’t due to flights.) Marina is easy to get to and boat is easy to get on. Great time out to get fishing and Capt Jerry knows where to go. Most appreciated is he focused on my fishing fanatic son and helped him catch a bunch of fish. My son wants to go back…so do I. I highly encourage you to book with Capt Jerry.
Thank you, Garet, for the kind words! It was great fishing with you guys. Hope to see you back soon. – Captain Jerry
