On Saturday morning October 24 I took my son Andrew and two of his friends from UNF on a half day fishing charter with Captain Jeff Wansor of Beaches Fishing Charters of Jacksonville. We had a great time. The weather was perfect and Captain Jeff put us on some fish immediately, catching some fish to be used for bait later on. At our second stop, at the junction of the intracoastal waterway and the St John’s River, still fishing with light tackle, one of my son’s friends, an inexperienced angler named James, hooked a very large Redfish on very light tackle, never intended to battle a huge Redfish. The fight was on. Captain Jeff constantly coached James as he fought the fish. The fight went on for over 100 minutes during which time we had to “chase” the fish by moving the boat more than a mile down the intracoastal, dodging other boats and navigational aids as we went. Finally we were able to net the fish and get him into the boat. By this time more than a few people in other boats were watching the prize fight. After a few high fives and some quick pictures Captain Jeff released the estimated 40+ pound monster back into the water and we watched him swim off into the depths. I can’t recommend Captain Jeff and Beaches Fishing Charters highly enough. He was easy to work with. Easy to communicate with and he obviously knows where the fish are located.

Great fishing charter, had a great time with Cpt. Jeff. Can't find much wrong with this charter. Cpt Jeff was ready on time, was personable and informative about fish, fishing techniques, geography and practically everything else. The equipment provided was not new but was very well cared for and certainly serviceable. Proof of that is in the number of fish that were caught. Cpt Jeff was especially helpful with my 13 year old grandson, who caught the first fish, the most fish and maybe even the biggest fish; even though his Dad and I were in the running. Highly recommended, and our little party of 4 was already talking about going again on the way home.

Captain Jeff is a professional in all aspects of the term. He is an expert on local species, angling and making you feel at home on his boat. We were on large red fish within minutes of reaching our spot. He helped the teens reel in 30in+ fish and made the day awesome for all. Reccomended for anglers of all ages and skill levels.

What an excellent time! Captain Jeff took my husband (experience fisherman) and me (never been fishing) out for a half day. He was knowledgeable about the area and took us to several spots. It was like spending the day with an old friend. We chatted and he helped teach me to fish while joking around with my husband, who needed no help. We caught several each and had a delicious dinner from our fresh catch. We will definitely book again.

We had an absolutely wonderful time fishing with Captain Jeff! My little sister caught a fish on the first cast and was so happy. We got to see many dolphins and even a manatee! Also, Jeff had in-depth answers for all of the questions we asked about fishing, the marine life, the different ships we saw, etc. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great morning out fishing on the intercostal!

Had an incredible day with Captain Jeff the week of Thanksgiving. Best fishing experience I've ever had. Jeff was a knowledgeable guide for our foursome and fun to be around. We had a mix of experience in our group and Jeff accommodated everyone. We caught a number of different types of fish...redfish, sheepshead, whiting, and trout are a few I remember. Jeff cleaned our haul for us and we cooked them that evening for dinner. I highly recommend Jeff for anyone looking for anything from beginning to advanced.

This is not my first Fishin' & Catchin' trip with Captain Jeff.
My family and I have had wonderful outings with him over many years.
This was my first visit to Jax Beach since Covid so my first charter for 4 years.
Everything was as good as ever.
Captain Jeff supplies everything you need.
Captain Jeff knows all the spots to hit and has the tackle required for a happy ending.
I look forward to my next visit.
I can recommend this charter absolutely.

Captain Jeff put us on a mixed bag of nice fish and a few giants with good fight. Could not be happier with our first charter in Jax. Highly recommend. Captain Jeff know the waters and taught us much about fishing the local waters.

The only disappointing part of this trip is that it comes to an end. I went with the wife (hates fishing) and two daughters (8&11). Nobody wanted to go and I thought it might just be me and Capt Jeff when I tried to wake them up this morning.
After 10 minutes the youngest was into her first fish. The wife suddenly also wanted to have a go. I said vey little and then next 4 hours flew by.
We landed two 30lb plus Redfish and a dozen other different varieties. The equipment is great and the boat does a great job.
Captain Jeff knows the waters like the back of his hand. We all felt safe and we will be talking about this trip for years to come.
Thank you Jeff we had a great time and you were at great host.
I hope to see you at The Fox and Hounds Holmes Chapel in the near future

Check directly with Capt. Jeff as I'm pretty sure they may vary with numbers, times, days of week and/or season.
