Such a fun & relaxing adventure
February 21, 2026
We had such a relaxing morning fishing in the salt marsh. The Jettywolf boat is perfect for inshore fishing, and Capt. Dave was very helpful with casting and bait techniques. We even got our fish cleaned and bagged right on the boat. Highly recommend this charter for anyone wanting a private fishing experience in Jacksonville.

Perfect Day on the Water with Capt Dave

This was hands down the best fishing charter we’ve ever done. Capt. Dave is friendly, professional, and knows the St. Johns River like the back of his hand. Everything was included, so all we had to do was show up and fish. Can’t wait to book again!
