We used live bait including shrimp. I caught a 29 inch Snook, Black Drum, and Snapper. They all ended up on the grill at Riverside Cafe. It’s 5 minutes from where you’ll have your fish filleted. I did all the research and picked the right tour. You should do the same.
After getting the four of us on board, Captain Jake took us to some hot fishing spots. There was a hit on our line almost immediately at the first spot. I caught a 37 inch Snook within the first hour or so. Sadly too big to keep but got some great photos. Our group also caught a Crevaille Jack and a couple Gafftop sail catfish. Captain Jake was knowledgeable about the area and provided a great experience. 11/10 would fish again.
My 14 year old son and I spent half a day with Captain Jake inshore. He put us right on trophy Tarpon, Snook, and even a Bull Shark. He made my son feel like one of his fishing buddies and taught him techniques to land a big fish. I highly recommend Jake and we plan on fishing with him every time we are in Florida. Just book a charter with Captain Jake and you will have a fishing adventure!!
Great morning! Booked last minute with Captain Jake for a solo trip out. Jake loaded us up with live bait and we were fishing without wasting any time. Bite was slow at first, but the fish were there. Jake kept working spots (all holding fish) until the bite turned on. We caught a mixed bag of snook, trout, flounder and a blue fish. Jake is a great guy and host. Will book with him again next time.
Capt Jake was first rate! He was prepared, his tackle was organized and he has 20 yrs fishing experience. He’s also a fun guy to spend the day with. Highly recommend!
