Jerald's Coastal Tours and Fishing 

We had a fishing charter booked at a crystal River cancellation, we looked to see if there was an availability with a Captain on a former guided trip we took. Capt. Jerald had an availability for us so we were able to have a fishing charter on the day that we had initially planned to take off of work.  our initial charter was strictly a sharp charter and I had no requests when we booked with Capt. Jerald but when he heard that we initially had a trip planned for shark he said we’ll do shark and he put us on the sharks.  it was such a fun day.  my husband ended up catching an 8 foot nurse shark which was a thrilling experience just to watch him bring it in after 25 minute fight. Ironically, he also caught the smallest shark, which was practically a newborn black tip. I hooked into many sharks and ended up landing a good 3 foot bonnet ahead. What a unique shark.  he even informed us that he does night, shark charters, and we have actually booked to return with him on Friday, June 26. 

Amazing trip, he knows the island extremely well and had a bunch of spots to fish all the different species of fish. Patient and very instructive!

Jerald and Olivia (Captain and crew) were very nice and did everything possible to make us comfortable and put us on fish. We really had a good time and would recommend them to everyone.

Jerold and Olivia were great hosts and put us on fish. Enjoyed hanging out and catching fish. Great spot too!

Captain Jerold was the best experienced guide! We caught fish at every spot he took us…Redfish, Speckled Trout, Spanish Makerel, Whiting, and Drum! We had the pleasure of seeing numerous manatees, dolphins, and the ‘Sanctuary Island’ (The name escapes me sadly) for pelicans and many other types of beautiful birds in the area! Captain Jerold had a great attitude, awesome sense of humor and was extremely knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed everything he did to make sure we had a successful day.

We had an absolute blast on this trip. We had our two kids with us and Jerald was knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He knew the area and was great to work with. He made sure that each person got to have their moment as well as see the beautiful area around Cedar Key. Highly recommend!!

Both Jerald and Olivia were top notch! They knew what they were talking about and where to go. The trip flew by and we had an amazing time!

Not only did we catch many fish, we caught a huge variety and beautiful keepers! Captain Jerald knows Cedar Key!

Capt and crew were top notch. They made sure we went home with fish to eat. Highly recommend this charter Captain and his first mate OG charters
