  5 Hour Nearshore Trip

  4Hour Trip — Nearshore - 12:00 PM on March 27, 2026 • 2 adults

  Can’t think of a better spring break activity than going out and catching loads of fish. Captain Jose made that happen better than I imagined. From start to finish, we were nailing jacks, bluefish, redfish, black drum, ladyfish, and loads of fat snook(we literally lost count). I left my excursion physically exhausted from how much I fought these fish. Definately a lucky day to be out, but it also seemed like we caught more than the boats around us. Super clean and well kept boat with ample space for a small group. Jose seemed to know how to find us fish and that’s what I’m here for. He even cleaned some of the fish for us to finish off the day which was a great touch. Couldn’t be happier with my day on the water.

  George, thank you so much for the amazing review! It was an absolute pleasure having you and your girlfriend out on the water for your spring break trip. What an incredible day we had — nonstop action with jacks, bluefish, redfish, black drum, ladyfish, and so many big SNOOK up to 40” we truly lost count! Those fish definitely gave both of you a workout, and I’m glad you got to experience just how exciting our nearshore fishing can be. I really appreciate your kind words about the boat and the trip. I always do my best to keep everything clean, comfortable, and most importantly put my guests on the fish. It means a lot to hear that it showed. Thank you again for fishing with J Fishing Charters, and I’d love to have you both back out again next time you’re in town for another action-packed trip! CAPTAIN J

  Great time, Grea Captin!

  4Hour Trip — Nearshore - 12:00 PM on March 31, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had a wonderful time with J Fishing, he put us on fish the whole time we were out there and was very helpful and patient. He even cleaned the fish for us to use for dinner tonight! Very nice equipment and boat as well. I would recommend J Fishing Charters to anyone and everyone and I will definitely book with him the next time I am in the area. I wish we would have booked more time because we had so much fun and it was such a pleasent and relaxing experience. Thank you so so much Jose, I can’t wait until next time!!

  Hunter, thank you so much for the awesome review! It was a pleasure having you and fiancé on board, and I’m really glad you all had such a great time out there. We stayed on the fish and had steady action the whole trip, which always makes it even more fun! I’m happy you enjoyed the boat and gear, and of course getting your catch cleaned up ready for dinner—that’s always a nice bonus after a good day on the water. I truly appreciate the recommendation, it means a lot. Next time we’ll definitely have to get you out for a longer trip and go after even more! Thanks again, and I look forward to fishing with you again soon! 🎣 Captain J🎣🎣🎣

  Great last minute trip!

  Half day INSHORE FISHING (copy) - 2:00 PM on November 26, 2025 • 3 adults

  It was a last minute request. Captain was quick to respond and accepted the trip. I took 3 teenage boys with me and we had a great time! Captain did a great job by having some of us targeting Triple Tail and some fishing on the bottom. If the boys wanted some quick action they couks fish on the bottom, we were catching multiple species quickly. If the wanted to wait and try to catch a bigger targeted species they could. Captain was very patient and very busy keeping all the rods with bait in the water. We caught a Triple Tail, Snook, Jacks, Croakers (which we used as bait for snook), Whiting, Spainish Makerel and Lady Fish. One teenager had never caught a fish before. Highly recommend!

  Thank you so much for the amazing review, Blake!! I really appreciate you choosing us for your last-minute trip, and I’m glad I was able to respond quickly and get you and the boys out on the water. It was a fun group to have onboard, and you all made the day a great experience. I’m happy we were able to mix things up—having some of you targeting Triple Tail while the others fished the bottom kept the action steady and exciting. The boys did great, and I loved seeing everyone stay busy reeling in different species. And for those who wanted to wait for a bigger, targeted fish, they showed a lot of patience and it paid off! You all caught an awesome variety: Triple Tail, Snook, Jacks, Croakers (perfect bait for the snook!), Whiting, Spanish Mackerel, and Ladyfish. And a huge shout-out to the teenager who caught his very first fish ever—that’s the kind of moment that makes a trip truly special. Thank you again for the kind words and the strong recommendation. It means a lot. I’d be happy to have you all back anytime for another great day on the water. —Captain Jose 🎣🌊

  Unbelievably good trip!

  3 Hour Trip — Inshore - 8:00 AM on November 17, 2025 • 2 adults

  One of the best fishing experiences of my life. Me and my wife caught loads! King mackerel, cobia, snapper and grey trigger fish. We even took our snapper to Rusty's who will cook it for you after, highly recommend. Jose was a great captain, very fun, friendly and new the place inside out and kept our rods baited and ready at all times. His boat is top of the range, a good size to keep the ride smooth and fast and has all the gear and fish finders any captain can dream of. I had the best time ever, I'm already thinking about when I can come back. The trip was flawless, and great for whatever skill level you are, even my wife who hasn't fished much had a great time. Thank you J!

  Andrew & Karen, Thank you both so much for this amazing review! I’m really glad you had such an unforgettable day out on the water. You two fished like pros out there — those king mackerel, cobia, snapper and triggerfish kept us busy nonstop! Taking the snapper to Rusty’s was a perfect call too — nothing better than enjoying your fresh catch after a great trip. I’m happy you enjoyed the boat and the ride, and it was a pleasure keeping everything ready so you could just relax and have fun. Karen did awesome for not having fished much, and Andrew, your energy made the whole trip even better. I’d be thrilled to have you both back anytime — can’t wait for the next adventure! Captain J🎣🐟 Thank you again for choosing J Fishing Charters!

  J fishing charters,

  3 Hour Trip — Inshore - 8:00 AM on March 22, 2026 • 3 adults

  Awesome trip with captain Jose. Highly recommend. He put us on fish, a couple times all 4 of us were hooked up. very attentive to rebaiting or taking care of our lines when we broke off. Had plenty of live bait. He tried real hard to keep us on fish, we would move when the bite died off. Jose was more than willing to answer all our questions and take care of all our needs while out. We were fortunate in that while out fishing, we got to watch a rocket launch, that was awesome. Would highly recommend J fishing charters, we definitely will use them again when we come back.

  Donnie, thank you so much for the awesome review! It was a pleasure having you and your crew on board. Captain J I’m glad we were able to stay on the fish and get everyone hooked up—that’s what it’s all about! You guys did a great job out there, and I appreciate you recognizing the effort to keep lines in the water and the action going. Getting to watch a rocket launch while fishing is definitely a bonus we don’t get every day—that made it even more special! Thanks again for choosing J Fishing Charters, and I really look forward to having you back out on the water next time you’re in town! 🎣
