Welcome to North Florida Fishing Charters. I am Captain Ron Schurr your guide. I have been fishing the waters of St. Augustine, Jacksonville and Amelia Island for 17 years specializing in light tackle inshore and backwater fishing. I make every effort to provide a memorable and safe fishing adventure regardless of your fishing expertise.

You will be sure to catch Redfish (Red Drum), Flounder, Speckled Trout as they are available year-round. Bluefish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Jacks, Ladyfish and Tarpon are also available depending on the time of the year. Redfish are well-known for a great fight and can exceed 40 plus pounds of screaming reel fun.

I focus most of my trips in the scenic backwater marshes and estuaries that are along the Intracoastal waterway. These areas are home to Dolphins, Osprey, Wood Storks, Egrets, Herons and Manatees. These areas are well known for the large Redfish that we will catching.

You will be aboard my 18 foot Key West Stealth with a 115 hp. Yamaha outboard motor set up exclusively for inshore and shallow water fishing. Bait, fishing license, bottled water and only the best tackle is provided with every charter.

A day on the water having fun, enjoying the scenery and catching fish, what could be better?

Northeast Florida has some of the best backwater fishing in the state. For the uninitiated, backwater fishing, or backcountry fishing, is angling in the extensive network of bays, Spartina islands and tidal creeks that permeate the region. There are thousands of miles of shoreline, countless oyster bars and acres of tidal creeks that attract an abundance of salt water fish. Those marshes – nutrient-rich food factories that spawn nearly all of the commercially valuable seafood caught in East Coast waters – are the Atlantic’s life-givers. The salt marshes offer excellent habitat for raccoons, river otters, manatees, dolphins, bald eagles, osprey, ibises, clapper rails, egrets, and herons. Perhaps no place is as closely linked to those coastal prairies as the coasts of Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. Nearly half of the East Coast’s salt marshes are found here.

Roaming these waters are three of the state's most sought after game fish, the redfish, spotted seatrout, and flounder. Thousands of anglers come to northeast Florida each year for the chance at a grand slam, catching one individual of each species in one day.
