Candice DutrowRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNEWAmazing!
Night time fishing adventure (PM) • 2 adultsIt's my Birthday! We had a great time with Captain Christian! I loved that it was just the Captain, my Husband and I. Not a lot of running around trying to find a spot to fish like a large charter. We caught a variety of fish and had a great time. The fight in the fish was great. We even caught some shark! Weather can be unpredictable but it worked out in our favor. Captain Christian was a delight to talk to and joke around with. He even cleaned and fileted the fish for us. We had a wonderful time and would recommend Captain Christian and Jus' Chillin Charters to everyone!

Half Day Trip – Inshore - 1:30 PM • 2 adultsWe come to Florida yearly and have been on a few fishing trips each year. Our captain was very knowledgeable, friendly and well informed. He kept us catching fish the whole time. He was patient and well informed. He was completely chill and was happy to explain all the fish we caught. If we lost a bait or a hook he didn’t care and if he did he didn’t show it. He was a confidence booster, we definitely will book the next one with him too!!

Clayton Leach5.0VerifiedGreat fishing with Captain Christian!
3/4 Day Trip (Inshore/Nearshore) • 2 adultsI had an amazing time fishing with Captain Christian! Upon arriving to the dock Captain Christian greeted my family and I. We then headed to a dock and fished some there. Following that we stopped for fuel before heading out on the open ocean. The marina had some issues with their payment system which cost us a small portion of time on the trip. Captain Christian handled this professionally and adapted and overcame the situation. He added an hour of time on to our trip which I thought was appropriate and nice of him due to this slight delay. We caught many fish such as margate, whitebone porgy, lane snapper, blue runner, ramoura, bull redfish, sand trout and croaker. We had a couple big grouper and a king mackerel circling the boat near the surfacs that we were trying to get to bite but they just wouldn’t take the bait. I had an incredibly great time on this trip and I look forward to fishing with Captain Christian again on a future trip to Daytona Beach!
Response from Captainclay! had a blast with you man! great vibes and music! we caught alot even in the hot weather! made it happen! Definitely hope to see you again!
Christopher Corbett5.0VerifiedGreat Trip!
Night time fishing adventure (PM) - 6:15 PM • 2 adults • 1 childWe had a fantastic time on our fishing charter! The captain was excellent with my son and made sure he was involved every step of the way. He put us right on the fish, taught us techniques for catching them, and was patient and encouraging throughout the trip. The best part was watching my son gain confidence and actually out-fish me! It made for a great father-son experience and created memories we’ll be talking about for years. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable captain who works hard to get you on fish and makes the trip enjoyable for the whole family, I highly recommend this charter.
Response from Captainchris! super appreciate it! absolute well manored kid and absolute class act father and son! had a memorable experience and was great to see the kid learn a new style!
Amanda Stiles5.0VerifiedUnforgettable Evening!
Night time fishing adventure (PM) - 6:15 PM • 4 adults • 1 childWe wanted to take our son on a memorable fishing trip for his 18th birthday and Capitan Chris delivered! He dropped us in right on top of a variety of fish - snapper, jack, cat, and we even reeled in a couple of black tip right at the end. Guests should prepare for lots of sun, a few bugs, plenty of fish and TONS OF FUN! Capitan Chris will take care of the rest. He even had a cooler with waters for everyone cold and ready. We would recommend this charter to anyone, beginners and experts alike. What a great adventure!
Reported catch:Response from Captainhad a blast with you guys! Very respectful and definitely awesome people! was great seeing the men hook up to sharks at the end! Definitely a great time.

What's biting with Jus' Chillin Charters in Daytona Beach
October is a transition month. Offshore fishing heats and you can hook into Mahi Mahi and King Mackerel relatively close to shore. On a full day trip, get your hands on some Sailfish.

Ponce inlet jetties are hitting big!
Sep 26, 2025 • Daytona Beach
We had an action-packed day fishing the jetties at Ponce Inlet! The Redfish were fired up, and we put some nice ones in the boat using live pinfish on a Carolina rig. We adjusted weights between 1–3 oz to cover different water depths and keep the baits right where the Reds were feeding.
The Pompano bite was steady as well, hitting on shrimp tails worked through the current. Between the Reds and Pompano, there was plenty of rod-bending action and smiling faces at the dock.
The fish are here and biting — it’s a great time to get out on the water and experience the fun for yourself!

Halifax River & Ponce Inlet Fishing Report
Snook season is officially open as of September 1st, and the bite has started strong. Anglers are already seeing quality action along the Halifax River and through Ponce Inlet. The jetties are producing some true monsters, with live mullet and pinfish proving to be reliable baits. For those preferring artificials, a Salt Strong prawn rigged on a ½-ounce jig worked near the bottom has been an effective way to hook into a personal best.
Over in Spruce Creek, snook have been ambushing bait along the mangroves, offering plenty of opportunities for inshore action. Keep an eye near marina buoys as well—some hefty tripletail have been hanging around, and fresh cut ladyfish has been a top choice for bringing them boatside.

Redfish begin their spring patters and s
Apr 2, 2025 • Daytona Beach
Fishing just outside the jeeties at Pince inlet just near daytona beach you can crush some sheepshead. However the redfish stumbled apon this area which was just the inshore pass an let me know redfish are on the move! He was hiding near a mangrove also near an oyster bed. Try throwing shrimp or snall crabs as bait!

Slaying fish and sharks on warm February
Feb 7, 2025 • Daytona Beach
These 2 fish assassins decided to join my charter from North Carolina and absolutely slay it. They took my charter from Daytona Beach, and we made down to the creeks in Ponce Inlet! It was super foggy in the morning an difficult to see at first. However, those creeks are still full of fish this time of year. We fished an outgoing tide. As the weather warms up, so do the sharks! We had about 4 sharks on and landed 2 of them! They slayed the sheepshead with catching over 25 and about 15 trout. All an all they had 10 different species and these best friends had a great time!
Outgoing tides are best for the creeks because the big fish that are in the back of the creeks make their way out to the passes or more open water! So creek mouths on top of an oyster bar are awesome to fish. Live Mullet, live shrimp or cut mullet is awesome this time of year.

Low strike score means lots of fish
Feb 5, 2025 • Daytona Beach
As a captain, i have a bunch of apps. Every app said today was a bad time to go. Welp, not for this guy. After taking a last-minute cancelation, Mike absolutely slayed it today. He caught his first sheepshead and shark today. The bite was nonstop. With an east wind and still.winter. these fish were found on droppoffs. Fish this time a year are still in winter patterns, even if it's 80 in February. They are still in deep trophs waiting on bait. That's exactly what we did. We fished the tail end of an incoming tide with live shrimp and fresh dead mullet

January Warm weather brought in a Monste
Jan 29, 2025 • Daytona Beach
After much of January being absolutely cold and a north wind this day was finally warm and minimal wind. A north wind and cold can basically be a dead day or hard day of fishing since fish like consistent patterns. We started off at the creeks to fish in ponce inlet for some sheepshead. We eneded up with trout. Bluefish, whiting, sheepshead and more. We used medium rods with a 1oz sinker carolina rig and nailed atleast 15 of them. We started fishing at slack tide as i was waiting for the incoming tide to come in. Once the tide turned thats whennother fish showed up to the party! The guys had a blast. But they wanted a monster. I knew the only real chance we had near south Daytona was a big black drum. They waited patiently justbas the sun had set. We skipped a shrimp by a bridge piling an the fight of his life was on. The big ugly came out. We got this massive Black Drum! They couldn't of been any happier! Warm weather after cold brings on the bite.
