I am a United States Coast Guard certified 100-Ton Master Captain. I began working on Sportfishing boats at age 12 and couldn't get enough of fishing! I love taking customers out for a fun day on the water in Sarasota.

    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

    Captain Jerry was GREAT! Kids had a BLAST!

    Inshore/nearshore Half Day Trip AM3 adults2 children

    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!

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper
    Response from Captain

    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! 🎣

    Captain Jerry was Great, Wonderful Time

    Inshore/nearshore Half Day Trip AM2 adults1 child

    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.

    Reported catch:
    Gag Grouper
    Sheepshead

    Great morning on the water!

    Inshore/nearshore Half Day Trip AM6 adults2 children

    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!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re thrilled to hear that Captain Mike was able to make the trip enjoyable for your family, even with the rougher conditions. Finding protected water and keeping the rods bent is what it’s all about! It sounds like you had a great variety of fish to catch, and we’re glad the restaurant recommendation helped turn your fresh catch into an unforgettable meal. Experiences like that are what make a day on the water truly special. We sincerely appreciate your recommendation and look forward to having you and your family back aboard Wild Catch Fishing Charters for another great adventure. Thanks again for fishing with us! * Captain Jerry
