My wife and I had a great experience fishing with Captain Jim Ross on our charter out of Port Canaveral! He is extremely knowledgeable and about as friendly and courteous as possible. He explained everything and was very patient with us, showing us great techniques and had a very diplomatic manner in tolerating our inexperience. I got to fight a 100+lb tarpon for over 30 minutes, a definite “bucket list checkmark”
We highly recommend Fineline Fishing Charters for a great day on the water off Port Canaveral!

Captain Jim was great and the boat was super clean and nice...
He let us know ahead of time that he was not sure what we would get because of environmental conditions that impacted fishing negatively.
We caught several fish while other Captains he talked to on the radio had not had a good day.
It was really great and he found ways to find the fish and help make sure everyone of us caught fish..
All-in-All.. It was a great day for us..

We went out with Justin. The boat was very clean and it cut through the water well and not rough at all. The weather had been cold for four days making fishing challenging but Justin knew where to go. Justin was very friendly. We went to a canal area and jigged for a while. Caught a small sea trout. Then Justin took us to another spot and we used schrimo. Justin was an incredible caster. He could put the bait in great spots along the mangroves. It wasn’t long I caught a very nice redfish followed by a nice black drum. My son during other fishing trips normally doesn’t have much luck but caught a nice black drum. The smile on his face was so memorable. We caught a few more fish. Considering the cold conditions he put us in some fish. I would go fishing with this charter anytime. I have been in many charters before and they are top notch. Thanks Justin for making it a great trip and especially for my son.

Terrific day on the water with Captain Jim Ross with my DIL Leslie. The first catch of the day went to her, and me! This beautiful tripletail busted down on BOTH of our rigs at the SAME TIME! We thought we had a double hookup, and we were working hard to keep our lines apart so they didn't tangle. Imagine our surprise when we boated one fish with two hooks. Our fabulous guide, Capt. Jim Ross said he had never seen that happen. Oh, and he also put us into a wicked school of snook, my first ever. Snook two was bigger than snook one. Really wonderful day fishing offshore Cape Canaveral. Could not want more from a fishing guide, Capt. Jim moved with the grace and confidence of a man who knows what he is doing. Pristine boat, gear, well prepared.

Outstanding day on the water with Captain Jim Ross. Exactly what we were looking for, skinny water, big fish, and frankly he is a pleasure to be around. Finding and Catching fish were no problem. He is patient and an excellent teacher for the techniques needed to see the fish, present the lure and then catch. He has a vast understanding of the ecosystem was awesome and made for great conversation. If you are looking for a fun and relaxing day on the water this is your guide. By the way, his boat is spectacular, clean and comfortable, and the equipment is first rate. I cannot recommend him enough.

Let me just start out by saying that Capt Jim is top notch! This was the first trip my son and I have ever chartered, after much studying, YouTube watching, reading reviews, and reading on forums I chose Fineline. Without a doubt it was the right choice, we booked the half day afternoon trip, arrived at the dock about 11:30 Captain Jim rolled in just before 12 and we were off just a few minutes later. The first spot we stopped at we tried for some redfish, we spent about 20 minutes hunting them there and then we moved on to find some more fish. Next spot we came to we hit right on the fish, but Captain Jim said we needed to find some big ones and we moved once more. BINGO he put us right on them. Just a few minutes and we had our first BIG FISH on, about a 30lb black drum, then another! We got 3 in the boat that were all around that size. The whole time Captain Jim offered tips and suggestion, changes in bait and techniques, and all in a very friendly manner! He is a great teacher and a master at his craft who is willing to share his knowledge and experience to make your day the best it can be!
So in closing I'll say it again, if your in town and looking for great experience call Captain Jim!

Best charter ever. Captain Justin was outstanding. He ensured we had the right bait whether top water, synthetic or live based on what we were after. He never hesitated to take us to a new location if the bite changed. The equipment was perfect with a boat that had plenty of room for four and outfitted with the latest and greatest equipment. We caught lots of big fish when the others around us did not. That is what happens when you put the right equipment with a knowledgeable captain who cares about the experience his clients are having. We will definitely be back!

Are you looking for top of the line rods and reels? How about a clean high-performance boat? A friendly captain who knows how to put you on top of the fish? Captain Jim delivered all that and more for us!

Went out with Captain Jim and had an awesome experience. Everyone in the group caught multiple fish and had such a great time. He really knew what he was doing- all the other chartered groups weren’t catching anything and we were catching one after another! This was my first time fishing and I would absolutely recommend him!! So much fun!!
