Spend the day with Captain Jack’s Fishing Charters and see what’s biting in Sarasota!

Top targets include Grunt, Scup (Porgy), Red Grouper, Redfish, Lane Snapper, Jack Crevalle, Hogfish, Tripletail, Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, Snook, Spotted Seatrout, and more, depending on when you go. During the trip, you might be spinning, popping, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Children are welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

You’ll be welcome aboard a 24’ Pathfinder 2400v center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Captain Jack’s Fishing Charters and get hooked!
