I have been on plenty of successful trips now with captain Jordan. It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced fisher or a novice, you gotta book a trip with him. I’ve been fishing Florida waters for 20 plus years now and have learned a lot from Jordan. He is very patient with friends I have brought that have little/non experience also, fishing and made them fall in love with the sport. I recommend booking the 8-12hr trip so you can catch an assortment of fish species. You will not be let down! The main advice I can give you is to be prepared to have a sore arm the next day from reeling countless fish in.

Originally requested a trip with Jordan (which was responded to within 3 minutes of booking with a phone call) and he recommended against the day due to rough seas/high winds, but recommended another day and kept us updated on the likelihood of favorable conditions.  It was a go and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Meeting location and loading was easy and in a beautiful part of town. Lines were taught nearly the whole 4 hours we were out. Everything from shark to red snapper and some big ones that put up fights but got away.  Back at the dock the fish were cleaned and Jordan recommended Outriggers restaurant which was right next door who could prepare our catch for lunch.  It was phenomenal. Nothing like rod to table within hours.  Jordan has big plans for growing his charter business and that is only possible for one reason, he’s good at what he does and has the secret sauce.

We had a good time but there was some disappointments from the very beginning. Captain was late for a 7am trip… said it was tire trouble but my husband and I both knew off the bat he slept in. Understand sleeping in but I dont like being lied too. We own a trucking company and I run large equipment for a living. Noticed first thing hes spare was still in its original spot. Disappointed! We caught 2 sharks and 2 red snapper. Then about 50 bait fish…. I have been on alot of charter for fresh water and this trip of a lifetime was average.

We’ve been coming to NSB since the 1980s, but this was a first fishing trip for us and WORTH EVERY MINUTE! Captain Jordan and First Mate Nick are the consummate fishermen, incredibly knowledgeable, patient, fun, and kid-friendly. Within the first few minutes out, we were reeling in local reef fish, and by the last hour of our morning trip, our 13-year-old was working hard, pulling in several small sharks (with a little support from Captain Jordan and Nick, admittedly…). This dynamic duo answered all of our newbie questions from working the rods to what types of fish we were catching, gave us options on where we could go, shared recipes on how to cook shark, and were attuned to everyone in our family, even politely leaving one of us to privately “toss breakfast” overboard after a Dramamine failure. All in, these guys work hard but are also laid back and we had a fantastic morning at sea, complete with front-row seats to a host of Floridian sea life, including a huge sea turtle, dolphins, and a hammerhead shark, who toyed with us for a few minutes, and great views of Daytona and New Smyrna Beach coastline. We will DEFINITELY be booking more trips for our family on future visits! THANK YOU guys for a memorable first fishing trip out—and BTW, the shark bites were bussin’ (per our son)...
