My wife and I had a great time fishing with Jason this morning.  He focuses on what you want to catch and is very knowledgeable and friendly.  We wanted fish to eat and he put us on fish right away.  We limited out on Speckled Trout within an hour..  We also caught several Lady Fish.  They really fight but are not good to eat.  Jason fileted the keeper speckled trout and we took some home to eat later.  Highly recommend fishing with Jason.

We met at the dock a bit early.  Jason was there and was all ready for us.  He had gone out very early and got us a good variety of very lively bait fish a shrimp.  The boat was immaculate and all of the rods and reels were neatly placed in their holders all set up for the day. The tide was exceptionally low so we took it easy going to our first stop. After getting our lines in the water, Jason explained his decision as to why he stopped where we were.  He had very sound reasoning which lead to us catching a good number and variety of fish.  We picked up and went hunting for something a bit bigger.  He took us to a spot filled with trout.  Where we quickly adopted our saying of the day 14 and a half as they have to be 15” to keep.  Thus began our ritual of catch and release.  This became very evident at our next stop where almost every cast brought us in a grouper. Some of them were decent sized.  Unfortunately season on them was closed.  We also brought up ladies, puffers, kittie cats and snappers.  We were having a great time, but had no keeper trout which was the goal for the day, so we picked up and headed back to our second stop.  The trout bite was on!  In addition to several 14.5” we got 2 nice keepers.  Then it was on to the stilt houses.  The Native Americans that built them knew a lot about trout fishing as we laid into them catching a number of 14.5” and one nice lunker.  Then we tried an oyster bar only to get robbed by the sea gulls who flew off with our Riggs, and dolphins who were encroaching on our fishing hole.  In no time it was time to go in, where Jason cleaned our catch for the day and gave us tips on local businesses to check out.  We had a fantastic time and plan to book Jason once a month.  We would highly recommend JC Charters for all of your upcoming inland fishing trips.  He is patient, kind, and courteous.  We never touched a bait, took off a fish or fixed a rig.  Jason was always Johnnie on the spot and did it all for us.  He is worth his weight in gold.  Thank you for a great day Jason!!

JC Charter was amazing from booking to after the trip. Every step along the way couldn’t have been better. JC was amazing he really put forth so much effort to make our trip special. We went wanting to catch Red fish and boy did we ever. Not to mention both me and my girlfriend caught the biggest fish of our lives, we each caught and landed a trophy sized Snook each. I had no expectations to catch. These fish but so happy to have done so. And I can’t forget we caught Speckled sea trout and lady fish. JC is very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. I will be booking another trip when I return to New Port Richey next year. If you wanna have a great trip JC is your captain, remember it’s fishing not catching and if you live to fish with a great captain JC is the guy. Fish bite when they want but it was JC who got us to them. I couldn’t be happier with our trip and those are lifetime memories of the beautiful area and the chance to catch great fish. Now stop reading reviews and just Book with JC Charters.

Tina and I had a great time fishing. He put us on 2 spots and we limited out on Trout. Well she caught 5 out of the 6 so she limited out basically. Boat and gear were great. Captain Jason was awesome, couldn’t have asked for a better day. Just a heads up, if a man takes a woman with to fish, then he should expect to be out fished by her. It’s just the way it is. We we will be back to fish with Jason again

My best friend and I had some extra time when we were in Florida and found Captain JC for a 4 hour trip. We were blown away by JC’s knowledge, his easygoing nature, and his skill.  The weather pattern was messed up so success was iffy, but we were reeling in fish all morning.  I’ve fished enough to know that even the best anglers can have a bad day, but this was the opposite!  We ended the day feasting on blackened trout and sheepshead.  If we get the opportunity to fish in this area in the future, Captain JC will get our business!
