    Great Family Fishing Trip with Captain Travis

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults • 2 children

    We had a great time with Captain Travis! We had two 6-year-olds and an 11-year-old with us, and he was fantastic with all of them. He was patient, answered all their questions, and really made the trip fun for the kids. We caught a bunch of fish, including jacks, ladyfish, snapper, and trout, and we also got to see a bunch of dolphins along the way, which made the experience even better. Travis was also very knowledgeable with live bait and taught us a lot there as well. The kids had an awesome time, and I’d definitely recommend him, especially for families fishing with children.

    Speckled Trout

    The Best Fishing Trip Ever!!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    This was the most memorable fishing trip for our family. Captain Travis was absolutely amazing! He was kind, patient with the kids and explained everything to us throughout the trip. We caught a good amount of fish, which made it very exciting! We also stopped in a quiet spot and were able to see dolphins and a manatee within only a few feet of the boat. It was a wonderful experience and we are looking forward to going out again on our next trip!

    The Highlight of Our Vacation!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had an incredible time fishing with Captain Travis! His enthusiasm for what he does is contagious, and his knowledge of the local waters made the trip both exciting and educational. He was incredibly friendly, patient and made everyone on the boat feel welcome. We caught an amazing variety of fish, including a red drum, black drum, bull shark, stingray, flounder, spotted seatrout, and even a blue crab! Every catch made the day more exciting, and Captain Travis was there to help every step of the way. We enjoyed the trip so much that he was kind enough to accommodate us and take us back out again the very next day! That level of flexibility and customer service really stood out. If you’re looking for a fun, memorable fishing experience with a captain who truly loves what he does, I can’t recommend Captain Travis enough. We’ll definitely be back!

    Bucket List Fish Caught

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    My husband has a bucket list of fish he’d like to catch and today he was able to mark one off of the list. A very large Bull Red about 40 inches. Captain Travis was very knowledgeable about the areas we were fishing in, friendly and courteous to others on the water, accomodating towards us, and a pleasure to be out with on the water. We caught a variety and managed to achieve the Inshore Grand Slam: Red Drum, Spotted Sea Trout, and Flounder. We would most definitely go out with him again!

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout
    Flounder

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    I highly recommend you book with Travis! He will from now on be our “go-to” anytime we want to go fishing or out on a boat. After I booked, I had several questions and Travis was helpful, responsive and friendly while addressing them. Day of - I could tell he had a lot of knowledge about the area, and I very much appreciated that he was willing to cater the day to what we need/want and ensure we had the best experience possible. Whether you are a beginner, or an avid fisher - he will adjust to you. I genuinely felt that he went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Not to mention, we caught a bunch of fish!

What's biting with River City Charters in Jacksonville

In October, there are two words on the lips of every angler in Jacksonville: Bull Redfish. Big Reds are spawning in the flats - watch out for their spotted tails as you pole or wade towards them and practice your cast.
