What to Expect on the Water

This 4-hour trip kicks off bright and early at 8 AM, giving you prime time on the water when the fish are most active. You'll be cruising the inshore waters in a comfortable, well-equipped boat that can handle up to 4 anglers. Don't sweat it if you're new to fishing – Captain Jordan's got years of experience putting folks on fish and can tailor the trip to your skill level. From the backwaters to the flats, you'll hit all the local hotspots where the big ones lurk. And the best part? All the gear's included, so you can just show up ready to fish.

Tactics and Techniques

We'll be using light tackle setups, perfect for feeling every head shake and run from these inshore bruisers. Depending on what's biting, you might find yourself sight-casting to tailing redfish in the shallows, working soft plastics around dock pilings for snook, or even free-lining live bait for tarpon. Captain Jordan's always got a few tricks up his sleeve, whether it's the perfect lure choice or that secret honey hole where the big ones hide. And don't worry about licenses – you're covered under the charter's permit.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"Captain Jordan has been very dedicated to satisfy our needs. He took care about equipment and proper conditions to be able to catch fishes by all of us. Nice atmosphere. Good music in background. I must admit that Captain has been working all the time checking everything and preparing fishing rods for us. And at the end he also has cleaned our fishes, so we hope to have a very tasty dinner tonight." - Nelly Justyna

"We finally got our weather window! Capt. Jordan and Capt. Eric had us hooked up before we even had a full spread out! It was pretty much non stop action all day with multiple species. We had an absolute blast! Great knowledgeable guys, dry, comfortable , capable boat, and we were on the fish!" - Len

"Always good fishing with captain Jordan! Can catch just about anything!" - Allen

Species You'll Want to Hook

Snook: These hard-fighting linesiders are the prize of many Florida anglers. Known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps, snook love to hang around structure like mangroves and dock pilings. They're most active in the warmer months, and catching a big one is sure to test your drag and your nerves.

Black Drum: Often overlooked but never underestimated, black drum can grow to impressive sizes in these waters. They're bottom feeders with a sweet spot for crabs and shrimp. While they might not have the flash of some other species, their powerful runs and dogged fights make them a blast to catch, especially on light tackle.

Tarpon: The "silver king" is the holy grail for many inshore anglers. These prehistoric powerhouses can top 100 pounds and are famous for their gill-rattling jumps and blistering runs. Hooking one is thrilling; landing one is an achievement you'll never forget. They're typically more abundant in the warmer months, but you might just get lucky year-round.

Sheepshead: Don't let their stripes fool you – these guys aren't pushovers. Sheepshead are notorious bait stealers with their human-like teeth, making them a fun challenge for anglers of all skill levels. They hang around structure and put up a surprisingly good fight for their size. Plus, they're delicious if you're looking to bring home dinner.
