“My dad and I had a fantastic trip with Charlie, he is a top notch guide/captain. He got us into incredible red fishing even with tough weather. I can’t recommend his service enough!”
Andrew W.
Undoubtedly the BEST fishing experience of my life…period. Captain Charlie’s passion for the sport and intricate knowledge of North Florida’s ICW and feeder creeks is unmatched. Whether fly fishing a flood tide or spinner reels with poppers and mud minnows, Charlie has the unique gift to put all levels of fishermen right on top of trophy Redfish. He’s a fish whisperer, a true master of his craft. His precision is matched only by his patience and approachability

“I cannot recommend Charlie enough. He is a fantastic guide that eats, sleeps and breathes fishing. The only thing he loves more than fishing is sharing that passion with every person that steps foot on the bow of the skiff.”

I’m caught the three biggest redfish of my life. More importantly, Charlie is an incredible human. You can’t book him fast enough.

I’ve been fishing with Charlie several times now and I highly recommend him. He is exactly what you would want in a fishing guide. He’s extremely patient, professional, and knowledgeable. He will put you on fish and I promise that he will see them FAR before you ever will! I’ve fished in a few different locations now and had success everywhere.
I’ve been with a few guides who weren’t the easiest to be around and who were a little rough around the edges. Charlie is the complete opposite of that! He will make you feel at home on his boat and give you many chances to catch fish. The rest (casting) is up to you!
Mark H.
Charlie is excellent! He really puts you on the fish and is a pleasure to hang out with.
What Types of Fishing Charters Do You Offer?
4-Hour Inshore Fishing Charter ($500): Our bread and butter offering. The most effective amount of time to hit the tides, catch fish, and make it back to seize the rest of your day.
6-Hour Inshore Charter ($550): The perfect amount of time to hit the most ideal parts of the tides, see a little more of what Jacksonville has to offer, and even have time to rest your feet for a few minutes in between shots at fish.
8-Hour Inshore Charter ($725): For the most committed and hardcore of anglers. We’ll cover the most water and tidal flow maximizing opportunities to see and catch fish on either fly or spinning.
Flood Tide Inshore Charters ($500): Seasonal. Rare. Exceptional. Truly a trip to be experienced. Based entirely on the tides and time of year.
Tarpon Inshore Charters ($600): An opportunity to shake hands with the Silver King. We pursue these fish with fly rods and spinning rods. Not for the faint of heart and certainly the most exciting thing Jacksonville has to offer inshore and nearshore. Seasonal. Select dates. Select tides. Worth every bit of effort.
