Whether you're fishing in the Atlantic Ocean or the North Florida's back country, be
attentive to the First Coast's weather. It changes quickly. Always carry foul-weather gear. Hooded rain jackets
and waterproof pants are best.
Other items recommended on your First Coast fishing charter:
- A broad brimmed hat
- Sunglasses
- Back-up prescription glasses
- Bandana or some form of glasses cleaner
- Sunscreen
- Camera or video and film for both (pictures are permanent memories to enjoy over the years)
I encourage you to bring your own fishing gear, although I am happy to provide tackle. I'll provide all the
baits, artificials, and flies. I provide plenty of water, other drinks and ice. Bring the food or beverages you like
-- enough to last you for the length of the trip.
You do not need a fishing license when you charter my guide service. But, if you would like to find more

I specialize in fly rod or light tackle sight-casting during low tides for redfish in NE FL's Timucuan Preserve,
located 30 minutes from Ponte Vedra and 20 minutes from Amelia Island. For high-tide charters, I target
redfish, trout, and flounder using flies, artificials, and live baits.
Depending on the conditions, I will use a Gordon Boatworks
16 for low tide and a Dolphin Super Skiff for high tide charters.
