Design Your Perfect Trip
There is a whole range of trips Captain Jeff can provide as your offshore or inshore fishing guide. You could fish offshore for Grouper, Snapper and a variety of other Gulf Of Mexico fish or hunt for huge toothy predators like sharks and barracudas, stalk the backcountry in search of Redfish, Snook, or Trout, or also head to the offshore reefs and wrecks to catch some delicious table fare or battle with the giants. The choice is yours. Boca Grande sunset, beach, and eco tours are also available. Custom trips are available, too.
Eco & Family Friendly Fishing
The catch and release approach for inshore fishing is strongly supported by Captain Jeff to help keep the local ecosystem flourishing. Redfish and Snook even when in season are catch and release only on his charters. Trout, Snapper, and Sheepshead can be kept. But if your looking for a meat trip then an offshore trip is recommended. He welcomes anglers of all experience levels aboard his boats, and kids are especially welcomed. Some of Captain Jeff’s fondest memories are fishing with his children. Let him help you make memories with your kids, too.
