Captain Jason Scripter was born on the intercoastal waterways of Clearwater, Florida. As a true Florida native, he discovered his love for fishing in his adolescence, fishing often with his father on Caladesi Island, Phillipe Park, and the Sunshine Skyway bridge. At the age of 18, he started his fishing career as a deckhand on one of the head boats in the Clearwater Beach Municipal Marina. Since then, he has clocked thousands of hours offshore and inshore. Captain Jason is also known for much more than just his fishing skills. He is a master fishing rod builder, reel repair specialist, BBQ king, and he makes an award-winning fish spread!

    great fun, lots of bites

    2 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM • 4 adults

    4 of us fished in a 2 hour trip about 2 miles out to sea. We got about 90 minutes continuous fishing and we caught a load of edible grunts as well as several other species like toadfish, lizard fish, ladyfish (which was one that got away but what a lively sleek fish that thrashes around and leaps out of tbe water), puffer fish, a 17 inch red grouper and a coupe of other different grouper species. very diverse waters. we asked for the best chance to catch edible species and that is exactly what we got. Jason kept us very busy with nonstop rebaiting and handling the continuous catches we were landing and moved short distances when necessary to make sure we never stopped fishing. We eventually bagged about 40 grunts, deceptively strong small fish that he expertly gutted, de-boned and filleted back at shore and we must have caught a total of double that as Jason threw back what we couldnt take home. We left with enough fish to make fish tacos we will cook tonight for 13 people rocking up at our villa in Kissimmee. I would strongly recommend Jason not just for his knowledge, personality and help but for his passion in wanting us to have a great time. His instructions and advice were easy to follow and if you have youngsters who want to experience fishing in the Gulf, this would be perfect, particularly landing a grunt that feels far syronger than its size would imply. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed the trip and we are looking at a 4 hour trip for shark which we ate trying to fit in during our 3 week stay. Hopefully we can. Thanks Jason for a memorable experience.

    Fishing with Jason

    3 Hour Trip - 8:30 AM • 2 adults

    Jason was a great captain for my son and I on our 3 hour fishing experience! A tropical storm came through on the day we were booked to fish, but Jason was very accommodating and we rescheduled for the next day. He took us to several areas, always where the fish were biting. He was very knowledgeable and told us about each fish that we caught. We had many bites and caught over a dozen keepers (mango snapper and grunts) and then wanted to catch a larger fish so changed the location and bait and caught a big red fish! He suggested a local restaurant that we went to close by who prepared our fish for a great meal! We will be back the next time we are in Clearwater!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish

    great time with a great captain

    3 Hour Trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Jason did a great job putting us on active fiah and keeping us on fish for the entirety of our trip. He was always very fast to replace baits to maximize effective fishing time on the water. We had two kids(10&13) with us that are very active and sometimes can be a little much for people to handle. Jason did a great job with them and was able to keep them engaged and having a great time. We highly recomend Neptune Fishing Charters to anyone looking for a fun/productive day on the water and hope to have another trip with him in the future.

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout
    Gag Grouper

    July fishing trip

    3 Hour Trip • 3 adults • 2 children

    I booked a trip with captain Jason with Neptune charters and requested to go for my first shark..I took my two younger sons with me and not only did he get us into a shark he was very patient with the kids helping to keep them busy while we were patiently waiting for a shark to take the bait…once we landed the shark he was quick to get us to the next spot where the boys could continuously hook into fish.. I will definitely be using him again in the future and would recommend him to everyone

    Reported catch:
    Bonnethead Shark
    Redfish

    Good time on the water

    3 Hour Trip - 8:30 AM • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Jason, Neptune fishing charters, listened to where or what we would like to fish for. We caught several different types of fish. His boat was clean and organized. He was very attentive to anglers, from rebaiting lines to assembling tackle. Jason was very knowledgeable on the local area as well.

    Captain Jason was on top of the fish right away. We caught white grunt, flounder, and mackerel. Even caught several red grouper but they were too small to keep. What a great experience. The only complaint was we should have booked a longer trip!

What's biting with Neptune Fishing Charters in Clearwater

Inshore, Redfish is hungry and ready to pounce your hook just as Trout begin to re-appear in the cooler waters. Head offshore to grapple with Amberjack for a good workout or target Snappers and Groupers over reefs and wrecks.
