ABOUT CAPTAIN JJ
Captain JJ grew up fishing the lakes and rivers of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. JJ has always enjoyed teaching people how to fish while providing a fun and rewarding experience to those he takes out with him. JJ’s true passion for fishing really took hold when he moved to southwest Florida with his wife in 2015. He's spent most of his time fishing in any and every way possible, from shoreline to inshore to offshore.
Since beginning his Florida fishing adventures, Captain JJ established JJ Fishing Charters in 2016 and molded his specialty to light tackle shark fishing. No matter if he is 100 miles offshore, fishing the flats, or sitting just off the beaches, JJ is always excited to see what is lurking in the salty waters of SWFL.
Fun fact: JJ is an Army veteran, as well as a local fireman who has been a first responder since 2006, so it’s safe to say you are in good hands while out chasing those fish!
Key WEST 230 BAY REEF
“Spent the day with Captain JJ and my boys! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Communication prior to going out was great. The day started off a bit cool and windy and we weren’t sure what to expect. We ended up catching plenty of bait fish to go find those sharks! We each ended up catching a shark with one of them being over 100lbs. Between catches we learned a lot too. We were able to take great pictures and video with memories that will last a lifetime! Captain JJ had everything we needed, was professional, great boat, knowledgeable, etc. Captain JJ will put you on fish!! Thank you again for such a great experience that we will never forget!”
