Ashley Sayler
Wisconsin, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedCrappy weather, still caught a variety of fish!
3hrs • 4 adults • 2 childrenI was a little nervous about the weather and our fish catching abilities so last minute I changed from 2 hours to 3. The captain approved this right away which was great. This trip was PERFECT for myself and husband as we are already relatively experienced at fishing. Our son is 9 and he was able to fish completely independently and caught his own fish, too. Our daughter is 5 and pretty much just hunkered down on the floor of the boat because it was COLD that day. She could've participated but I wouldn't recommend bringing children younger than 5-6 unless it is over 70 degrees out. The captain was as helpful as possible and put us on the fish despite crappy weather (cold, windy).

Response from CaptainThankYou so much! great photos
Jack BramblettGeorgia, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedA great first experience for my granddaughter!
3hrs • 2 adultsWe met Captain Jesse at the appointed time and he was ready go. We rode out to the first spot and were catching fish right away. Third cast brought a keeper Redfish to the boat. Caught another in short order plus other species. The entire trip was similar. Captain Jesse will put you on fish and he will tell you some good stories about the area while doing so. He hustled on board to keep hooks baited, hang ups cleared and us happy. Redfish, Black Drum, Black Sea Bass, Speckled Trout, along with some “trash” fish made for a fine trip!

Robin TondraRepeat anglerGeorgia, US•Member since 2022•3 trips5.0VerifiedGreat Trip - Fun
4hrs • 2 adultsThis was a fun experience with Captain Jesse. He took us where we requested and we caught a variety of fish. Hw pulled in a very pretty black sea bass and a decent flounder though a touch under size limit. That was OK with us because we like to catch and release anyway. The rock bottom was a new experience for me and he helped me learn how to work the bait over the rocks. We were surprised to find out that we knew some of the same people from Fernandina Beach. We would go back fishing with Jesse anytime.

Michael CoxRepeat anglerVirginia, US•Member since 2021•13 trips5.0VerifiedNEWAwesome short trip
2hrs • 1 adultJesse done an awesome job. Showed up on time with both live shrimp and mullet. It was constant action. We must have caught 15 different species of fish…totaling around 25-30 total…even mangrove snapper and a snook. I would highly recommend booking with Jesse he knows how to get you on fish.

David LintzRepeat anglerGeorgia, US•Member since 2020•4 trips5.0VerifiedGreat Charter
4hrs • 2 adultsWound up at Fernandia for my annual birthday trip. We typically charter a trip on each trip and were totally pleased. Captain Jesse putnus on fish immediately whereb I caight my first ever speckled trout, nice five pounder. while searching in shore for more of Captain Jesse's "secret" spots, we wound up catching a bunch of speckles and a few black drum, many keepers. A high light was the vast knowledge of the local history of the island and surrounding area Captain Jesse imparted. We will definitely give Captain Jesse a vall for our next charter in Fernandina. what a great day!

The cooler weather Mix of fish
Jan 21, 2025 • Fernandina Beach
The cooler weather is the best time of year to catch Speckled Seatrout. Redfish, sheepshead and blackdrum (puppy drum) are plentiful as well! You wont see as many charter Captains with alot of bookings because it is the slow season… however it is my Favorite time to go fishing with my family and friends as well as a few fishing charters and a handfull of regular Clients! I personally like to fish for Trout with an artificial lure and use the trolling motor to keep the boat moving and cast! Covering alot of ground and always introducing the lire to a fish that hasn’t seen it yet! I always feel like once you cast in the same spot a dozen time whatever is there youd have cuaght on the first few cast! If he’s there he’s gonna EAT IT!? (i call everthing oit there “he”?)

Speckled trout, is a common estuarine fish found in the southern United States along coasts of Gulf of Mexico and the coastal Atlantic Ocean from Maryland to Florida.
