Through 10+ years of trial and error, I have developed patterns and tactics for targeting every fish possible in our waters. I have built something from nothing, and I want you to experience it.
The best part about fishing is the unknown. The chase. The success. The memories.
I created Florida Man Fishing Van™️ to share the Experience; to share my knowledge and love for fishing with others and to chase the unknown with YOU.
Booking a trip will not only give you a chance at catching these once-in-a-lifetime fish, but I will also share the knowledge I have gained so you can take it with you and apply it to your own fishing adventures.
Turn your beach day into a fishing experience like no other. You don’t know until you go!

Keith HundRepeat angler5.0VerifiedINSANE EXPERIENCE! BUCKET list item check.
6 Hour Trip – Land-Based Sharks • 2 adultswords cannot describe the adrenaline rush of pulling in a massive bullshark. Owen showed my family something we have NEVER done before, fishing for massive sharks from the beach. If you want something that will pull ur family together and keep your kids phone down this is it. Our family worked together to bring these bad boys to the beach, took some photos and touched them. This is an absolute must if you have not done it before, just watching Owen setup, set the bait was crazy, and once they hit you have never seen anything like it before. my family and I will definitely be doing this again. Put this on your bucket list, you wont reget it

Ryan Rogers5.0VerifiedUnforgettable Shark Fishing Adventure for the Whole Family!
4 Hour Land-Based Shark Fishing • 3 adults • 2 childrenMy two sons (11 and 14) and I had an amazing time shark fishing on the beach with Captain Owen at Amelia Island. Owen is a master shark fisherman and an absolute professional. He was knowledgeable, patient, and great with my boys, making the experience both exciting and educational. The highlight of the trip was catching a lemon shark and a blacknose shark right from the beach. Seeing the excitement on my sons' faces was priceless. Owen clearly knows where to find the fish and how to make the trip enjoyable for anglers of all ages. This was one of the most memorable outdoor experiences we've had as a family. If you're looking for a fun, family-friendly shark fishing adventure, I highly recommend Captain Owen. We had an absolute blast and would book with him again in a heartbeat!

Austin PhelpsRepeat angler5.0Verifiedover prepared and over delivered! MONSTER SHARK!!
6 Hour Trip – Land-Based Sharks • 5 adults • 3 childrenFound owen by accident but im so glad i chose to book with him. he brought a great bait selection, everything the sharks wanted that night. They wanted BIG baits because there was BIG sharks around. 11’ tiger shark to be exact and another 8’ bull shark. After the big sharks came to play we had one more 4’ baby shark come show him self to us cause he wanted to get his picture taken too! all in all it was a great time and great experience. Owen was happy and confident and excited to let the little kids try their hardest to reel the sharks in. zero hesitation on whether ill book with him again in the future!

Matthew BowersRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBest sunset ever!
Trip for Matthew • 8 adultsWe had an amazing experience! First off Captain Owen was superb at working with us on our schedule and communication. We had a party of 8 and when we showed up he had 8 zero gravity chairs for everyone to relax and watch the sunset as he was setting up the rods. He had ice cold water for us to drink too. He allowed us to work with him I'm setting up the rods too which was a great learning experience for us. A little after sunset BAM! The rod tipped and that beautiful zing sound of the drag trippin! Owen said we just hit a Goliath Grouper! We all took turns cranking that beast in. Around 10-15 minutes later the big boy rolled up on the beach and Owen dehooked him and my family gathered around for the picture of a life time! He was between 200-250 lbs and a beauty! Can't recommend Owen enough! Super friendly and easy to talk to with incredible knowledge. We still can't believe we caught the Goliath Grouper! Thanks again Owen for making a lifetime memory for my family!
Response from CaptainThank you guys so much for coming out that was an awesome fish 🔥💪🏻 You guys were great I hope to see you again 🙏🏻 Have a blessed rest of your trip safe travels 🚐💨
Mike SrokaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNEWawesome time shark fishing from shore
4 Hr Land-Based Shark Fishing • 7 adults • 2 childrenFlorida Man Owen has the market for this experience! He sets up a nice beach camp with plenty of chairs, water, music, and corn hole for your whole party to enjoy while he and his fellow angler lure in the fish. Great combination of relaxing beach evening and adrenaline fueled shark hunting. Will definitley use him again.

What's biting with Florida Man Fishing Van in Jacksonville
In October, there are two words on the lips of every angler in Jacksonville: Bull Redfish. Big Reds are spawning in the flats - watch out for their spotted tails as you pole or wade towards them and practice your cast.
