My son turned 15 this summer and he recently became obsessed with fishing. He spent almost everyday, since school ended, fishing…learning by trial and error and watching YouTube videos to improve his skills. With school starting up again and his recent birthday, I decided to take he, his friend and his brother on a charter trip with Jared. My son had never caught a red fish and I heard that Capt. Jared was the guy to find them. We had the best day! Jared is relentless…he knew how important catching reds were to the boys, and he did not disappoint. It is obvious that he truly wants to please his customers and ensure everyone onboard has the best experience possible. He even dove in the water to bring in a tricky red and had my kids doing the same! It was a blast! Jared shared his story, talked with them about their plans for the future and gave them valuable life and fishing advice. I wouldn’t change one thing about the day. My kids met a young man who saw his dreams and went after them. A guy who, at the end of the day said “hey, give me a shout if you have any fishing questions, or whatever – I remember what it’s like to be their age” – needless to say, they think – no, we all think, Captain Jared is a super guy and the best fishing charter around!

Had the priviledge of fishing with Capt. Jared twice last week. Took my buddy and his son out all day on a Monday with Jared. Great weather throughout Tampa Bay. Caught a big Black Drum to start along with a few trout and jacks by the big bridge, caught some Sardines for bait on a grass flat, saw a few Bonnethead Sharks, went up thru Tampa Bay City and caught a few Tarpon and a big Jack up river. Had a bumpy ride back to the Safety Harbor area. Overall a great day on the water. 
My second opportunity was alone with Jared out of Dunedin Harbor. He put us on the Reds right off the bat using cut bait under some docks. Broke off a good fish then hooked up on a big Red. This guys jumps out of the boat with the pole and chases fish down under the dock so as not to get cut off again. It was a riot and very impressive. I’ve never had a guide go in after a fish. Made my day. We collected some pin fish for bait out of a few traps we set earlier and headed out towards the gulf after Snook. We finished off the afternoon with 2 Snook, 2 Jacks a nice Trout. Capt. J lost a big Snook which would have topped off the evening. Had a ball.
This kid knows the area, has the knowledge to catch almost anything and best of all, the drive, determination and ability to get it done. I fish a lot and have been with a lot of captains and I can tell you, this Capt. loves what he does and it is very evident the moment you set foot in his boat. I am already making plans to return in the Spring just to fish for big Tarpon with Capt. Jared.

If you want to fish, give him a shout. He returns your calls or texts in a very timely manner and will set you up for a fantastic day. Tight lines everyone…

My family had a great time with Capt Jared. We started fishing for Red Snapper and ended up catching the limit for Mackarel. We also spent some time fishing for sharks and than went way beyond our scheduled time to try to reel in a massive Stingray. He’s got a good personality and is great with kids.

On an unexpectedly temperate and windy day for Tampa Bay in April, Captain Jared stepped up at the end of day when he saw my son’s face drop when we discussed canceling the trip. With white caps all across Tampa Bay, Captain Jared took us only about one mile from Safety Harbor to “rescue” the charter. Great clean boat, all fresh bait and functioning rods/reels for kids and adults were provided for the two of us. Despite the less than ideal conditions, we landed a dozen large snook and two large redfish. We finished up early and didn’t travel far, so Captain Jared even negotiated the charter fee down despite the fact that we felt like we had had the full charter experience. This is a fantastic experience for kids/families or adults, as Captain Jared allowed us to fumble with our own casting and reeling while also making sure that we landed some fish with his additional line in the water. My son could barely lift his arm after reeling in all the fish that we hooked. If we come back to the Tampa/Clearwater area and have time for fishing, I will definitely look Captain Jared up again.

For the past 2 years I have traveled to Florida with my dad (70) and my son (7) for Spring Training. Since we had an off day we decided to book a fishing trip. We feel so fortunate to have found Captain Jared. In addition to being on time, polite and knowledgeable – he is an amazing fisherman! We caught a large variety of fish and leaned a great deal about the area. Jared was terrific with my son and my dad and is a great choice for any ages. The trip was both relaxing and exhilarating and became the highlight of our getaway. We are already planning another trip with Captain Jared next spring and highly recommend him for anyone looking for a fun afternoon.

My buddy and I had a fantastic day of fishing with Captain Jared. I’ve fished with lots of charters over the years, but Jared is definitely among the very best. Before meeting us on the dock, it was clear he’d worked very hard to secure an ample amount of live bait (sardines). After a short ride on his terrific boat, we were alone in a backwater creek and, after some simple, clear instruction, we hooked up in a matter of minutes with some feisty snook! Over the course of our four-hour excursion (which went longer than four hours for sure), we caught lots of good-sized snook, along with a monster trout, and some redfish and ladyfish and a catfish for good measure! It was clear that it’s really important to Jared that his clients have a fun day. Whenever the action slowed down, we were off to the next spot, using a slightly different technique that Jared showed us. A few of the spots would NEVER be located by someone who didn’t know the area as intimately as Jared does. I should note that he’s an expert fisherman, but has great people skills as well – not something you’ll find with every charter captain. He’s super-friendly, and has a great sense of humor. Oh, in addition to all the fish, we saw manatee, dolphins, many large rays and all kinds of birds. It was a perfect day!

You’ll be amazed at what you can catch!

We had a half day fishing with Captain Jared and he was generous with his time, knowledge and experience. I wasn’t sure whether or not I wanted to join my husband in fishing, and there was no pressure to do so, but I’m so glad I did! Captain Jared is easy-going and good company and, as pretty much a complete beginner, he kept me right. I amazed myself with how much I picked up, even though I didn’t feel I was being ‘instructed’ at any time. This made for a really fun, relaxing trip! Eventually, I even managed to cast and hook fish myself! All my email correspondence with Captain Jared beforehand was swiftly answered. We left from Dunedin marina and he was punctual and courteous. He had a large cooler for our water, and we’d brought a sandwich for lunch. The boat is comfortable and immaculate – he shows a lot of pride in his whole operation. Captain Jared knew how and where to locate the fish and pretty much immediately, we were catching decent-sized blue fish and trout! We didn’t keep them but he made sure we got some great pictures. He will put the bait on if you’re at all squeamish, and even if you’re not, he’s super-fast at it! Captain Jared gave us a fantastic holiday experience – the time just flew by. I’d have no hesitation recommending him to anyone – beginner or not, you will have a great time.

WOW! Visiting Tampa FL had a great desire to chase Tarpon, and with a fly rod. Found Capt Jared blindly on the internet. Hit the jackpot! Night fishing, 5/2/16, for the Silver King, warm water, warm weather, great conversation and hot fish. Capt J is excellent compnay. Someone good to hang out with. We could have spent the night just gabbing. His knowledge of the fish,the tides, the spots, was spot on. We caught both the incoming and outgoing tides over five hours, Hooked into 3 or 4 fish, brought one 40ish pounder to hand (what a battle!) and heartbreakingly, a 110 lb King of Beast that emerged and danced across the surface of the bay and threw my hook.

Jared lives and breathes fishing, works extremely hard, wakes up extremely early hours in the morning to catch all of the bait fish that we use to catch the fish with that day.

Great Fishing Trip

We had a wonderful time with Captain Jerod. He met us at the dock right on time and took us to his boat. We went right out on the water and started fishing right away. Jerod was so helpful with baiting our lines and all of his equipment was top notch.

We booked a last minute trip with Jared. He responded quickly by email and setting up the booking was a breeze. We met him at the dock and he had the cooler loaded up and ready to go. My kids (10 and 7), my husband, my Dad and I were looking forward to a day on the water and we weren’t disappointed! Jared has an excellent way with the kids – he didn’t just cast for them, he taught them, step by step, how to do it themselves. He was right there to help when they needed him, without being in the way. They were so proud because they knew they were the ones fishing. Jared knows the area and well and each kid caught in excess of 15 fish. We saw dolphins, manatees and rays. He spent a lot of time talking with the kids about life choices and following their passion. Great lessons from a young entrepreneur. Everyone of us were delighted and if you are looking for a very experienced, friendly, engaging guide, Jared is your guy!

Awesome charter experience with Capt Jared

If you want a top notch fishing experience, this is the guy that you need to go with. Captain Jared is a local born and raised and knows the area like the back of his hand. We went on a 8 hours excursion with my son and dad and it was an experience of a lifetime. Capt Jared talked us through what kind of fishing we would be doing and where we would go. He had a loose plan for the day, based on the tides, weather, etc. We were not disappointed. We were on fish within 10 minutes of leaving the dock, and it really didn’t stop all day. We fished docks early, then some oyster beds, small islands, then out to some reefs, the sand key jetty, then back to docks to finish up. We caught some of everything (black drum, sheepshead, a flounder!, red fish, mangrove snapper, a shark, snook, and trout). Many were not keepers, but we did pretty well. I think we took home 11 keepers, after catching about 50 fish (we kind of lost count). If we didn’t have any luck in a spot, we moved on pretty quickly. He seemed to know the patterns intimately. He was such a good guide. He truly wants people of have a great fishing experience. He was disappointed that he couldn’t have gotten us more fish (he highly recommends the spring season). We were happy with our experience. NOTE: If you are staying local, there is a place in Ozona (Molly Goodheads) that will prepare your fish. Be sure to check ahead of time because they do not do it year round.

Not only did we do some great fishing but Captain Jared is a true Nature Conservationist type of individual. His understanding of the Ecosystem in this part of the Florida waters is impressive. My Uncle who turned 90 had a great time fishing and I am going to book another trip again soon.


 Amazing day.

We fished with Captian Jared on a 8hr day. We had none stop action. If the action did slow he would move us to a school of fish that were ready to bite. Caught well over 50 fish. Great boat,tackle and guide. Really knows his stuff.


 Fantastic tour!!! 5 Stars!!!

Capt. Jared was very professional and very friendly! He took us on a sunset dolphin watching tour and tailored the tour to fit exactly what we were looking for! We saw lots of dolphins and got some great pictures of the sunset! The boat was clean and in great condition, and we felt safe with such a great boat driver! We would LOVE to go again because it was so fun!!!

Captain Jared gave the 4 of us an awesome day on the water. He is very knowledgable, not only about fishing but the whole Clearwater/Dunedin area. He is a blast to be in the boat with. I was worried we were going to be stuck in a boat with a boring old guide that was just there to put in his time and leave. You definitely do not get that with Captain Jared, I think we laughed more than we fished 🙂 If you are looking for a fun day on the water coupled with some fishing lessons, stories, laughs, dolphin watching and some great fishing to boot, you can’t go wrong with Captain Jared!

4 of us fished with Capt Jared right after a cold front came through. I was worried, but it turned out great. Jared has a lot of knowledge of the areas and how the fish move with weather. We caught lots of reds, trout, and a snook, along many other species. Great trip overall and would book again for sure.

I have fished with Capt Jared on multiple trips this past year and every trip he puts me on the fish. He works hard for his clients and I highly recommend booking a trip with him.


 Better than expected!

Capt. Jared and another charter took 6 of us out on a beautiful December day in Tampa Bay. Easily limited out on Sea Trout. Jared made it so easy and fun. He knew just where to go to get big fish. Very experienced for being so young. Take a chance on him, and you’ll have a great time. We did!


 Great fishing experience

I went fishing with Captain Jared on 12/29/2014. I love to fish and have taken 40+ guided fishing tours with various captains on Florida’s Gulf Coast. The day was excellent Captain Jared has all the qualities I look for in a guide.He is a native of Tampa and is experienced fishing the local area. He is also passionate about catching fish as well as Polite, Energetic and Professional. Not only did he provide a customer focused atmosphere.I CAUGHT A BUNCH OF FISH (approximately 50-60 fish including the Grand Slam of Redfish, Trout and Snook on the same day). I will be back in the Summer to Tarpon fish and will definitely be calling Captain Jared as my guide of choice.
