    CA Jonathan is an Excellent Guide

    11 Hour Trip • 5 adults

    My group of four fished with CA Jonathan on Thursday 19 Oct 2023. Jonathan has a great set up in his Contender boat and rod set up. He was early for pick up at the dock and was very accommodating on what we expected from the trip. We caught eight very nice yellowfin tuna, multiple barracuda and a few big sharks. The one thing that stands out for me as a customer is this; our trip lasted eleven hours and CA Jonathan NEVER took a break. He constantly moved for us the entire time. A relentless and extremely devoted fisherman. We will definitely be back onboard with him again. Thanks Jonathan!! Great Trip

    Awesome day of fishing!

    11 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Probably our best day of fishing ever. We caught limits of tuna, red snapper and cobia, plus some bonus mangrove snappers. Jonathan's knowledge and experience were great. He put us on the fish and made sure we were ready to get them in the boat.

    Reported catch:
    Yellowfin Tuna
    Red Snapper
    Cobia
    Mangrove Snapper

What's biting with Ruff’s Fishing Charters in Venice

This is a great time of year to go after Cobia, which can be caught around the rigs in shallow water. Weighing in anything from 15 to 60 pounds, this is one of the most exciting fish to catch nearshore.
