Growing up, I was surrounded by great fishing mentors and spent countless 'late for dinner' hours on the local waters. After a career in hospitality management in Orlando, Los Angeles, Scottsdale, and Naples, I have returned home to raise my family in my home town. The long hours, nights and holidays of the hospitality industry started to weigh on myself and family, so my wife and I decided to make passion driven career changes. Hers being real estate and myself into what I love most, fishing the 10k islands. Having the ability to show off these waters and this fishery is something I will never take for granted!

    Variety of fish

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    Captain Jared was great at locating lots of fish. Also, appreciated the fact the he gets the live bait ahead of time. We did not catch particularly large fish but did catch a lot and 6 varieties. Would definitely use him again if in the area.

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Redfish
    Mangrove Snapper

    Awesome trip!!!!

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    Captain Jared put us on the fish almost immediately, he was exceptionally kind and sweet to our 13yo daughter who wasn’t *super* into the whole idea of fishing lol, he even went so far as to search out and engage some dolphins on her behalf on our way back to the dock and she got a huge kick out of that. Captain Jared was Johnny On the Spot with bait, rods, jokes, everything! The four hours flew by because we were all having so much fun and my husband caught his first tarpon! We will definitely book again with Captain Jared, best charter experience ever

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Tarpon

    Excellent Half Day Trip with Captain Jared Love

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Booked a half day morning trip with Captan Jared Love for a Wednesday, then needed to moved it as one of my sons couldn’t make it for that day. The Captain responded immediately to my request and moved my trip seamlessly to a Friday so everyone could make it. Thanks to Captain Jared’s attention to customer service and fishing knowledge we had a great fishing experience. My wife and sons each caught their first snooks, as I did catch a very nice sized one. We also caught redfish, and snappers. Enough snappers to have the freshest grilled fish tacos we had ever had, with the fillets the Captain cleaned for us. Overall it was an excellent fishing experience and trip. We will be back to book a fishing trip with Captain Jared Love the next time we are in Marco Island. Highly recommended.

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Redfish
    Mangrove Snapper
    Blacktip Shark
    Response from Captain

    Thanks Juan! Had a great time and look forward to the next one

    I have been on multiple fishing charters in the Keys and locally. Jared is one of the best!!! My recent trip out was just after a cold front came through and he was still able to get us on fish. Jared will continue to be my go to charter captain in SW Florida.

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout
    Mangrove Snapper

    i appreciate that Scott!

    Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Captain Jared is an awesome guy and clearly knows his stuff. He had us moving around to get on the fish all day. I think we ended up with 5 or 6 species on the day, including this monster red. I can’t recommend this trip enough. We will certainly be back.

    My wife’s first fishing trip. Captain Jared knew just what to do. Took us to all the good spots. Caught a wide variety of fish. Did everything right: was on time, had plenty of bait lined up, knew right when to move to new spot, etc. can’t wait to fish with him again

    We went out on the morning tour and it was perfect! We caught fish that he fileted for us and are enjoying dinner with our catch. Captain Jared had all the things we needed, as well as his expertise kept us where the fish were. I can not put into words how much this day meant to us. We have rented several boats while vacationing at Marco Island but this was our first Charter. IT IS WELL WORTH the money to go with Captain Jared. His boat was great for fishing with 4 of us and his knowledge of the area was priceless. We are here for the Month of September and have already booked another Day next week. We plan to do at least one trip a week with Captain Jared....I Give him a 10 star rating out of the five they allow...
