Captain Jason

Every great fishing trip begins with a seasoned fishing guide

Captain Jason grew up fishing two very different coasts. In Rhode Island they trawled for stripers (like in Jaws), bluefish and tuna. On vacation in Florida, it was tarpon, snook and cobia. The Florida fish won- he’s been a professional guide for more than a decade.

Types of Trips

Charter Experiences

Bay Fishing

This takes you into back bays and rivers. It’s where big fat reds hang out under mangroves, and sleek silvery snook look for lunch. You could see manatee and dolphin as you fish the waters.

SPECIES - Snook, Redfish, Trout, Blackdrum, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Pompano, Shark, Spanish Mackerel

Gulf Fishing

You’ll head off the coast out into the Gulf of Mexico- up to nine miles out! Reefs hold prized grouper and tripletail hang out at buoys. Look for the occasion sea turtle—some the size of a manhole cover.

SPECIES - Grouper, Tripletail, Shark, Spanish Mackerel, Permit, Pompano, Cobia, Kingfish, Hogfish, Bonita

Tarpon Fishing

The time of season directs the hunt for this gamefish. Captain sight fishes for these silver kings—and follows their movement – from under the Skyway Bridge to just off Holmes Beach off Anna Maria Island
