What Jason Offers at ShayJay Fishing Charters

Jason brings seven years of experience guiding anglers on the waters around Port Canaveral. He operates a 22-foot Bulls Bay center console boat, powered by a 150-horsepower Suzuki engine and equipped to carry up to three anglers at a time. The vessel reaches speeds up to 35 knots, allowing quick access to productive fishing grounds.

His trips focus on both nearshore and offshore waters. On inshore trips, Jason fishes the jetties, beaches, and waters up to five miles out, where species like Snook, Sheepshead, Redfish, Black Drum, Tarpon, and Jack Crevalle are commonly found. Offshore, he targets Kingfish, Bonito, Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Sailfish around wrecks and reefs. He also runs focused trips during seasonal openings, such as red snapper season.

Trip Options and Scheduling

ShayJay Fishing Charters offers several formats to suit your schedule and goals. Half-day inshore trips run four hours and are designed for all experience levels, covering productive nearshore waters of Cape Canaveral. Six-hour trips depart in the morning at 7 AM or in the afternoon at 12 PM, giving you ample time to explore Florida's east coast waters. Full-day offshore trips run eight hours or longer, reaching deeper waters where larger pelagic species hold. During the red snapper season, Jason also runs specialized red snapper trips targeting that fishery.

Jason tailors each trip to your skill level and preferences, whether you are new to fishing or have years of experience. He provides top-tier gear and expert guidance on technique. His deep understanding of local water conditions and fish behavior helps ensure a productive day on the water.

Preparing for Your Charter

Before you head out, check that you hold a valid Florida fishing license if you plan to keep any fish. Jason will advise you on current regulations and seasonal limits for the species you are targeting. Bring sun protection, non-slip footwear, and water. Most trips include everything you need to fish, but confirm what is included when you book.

Port Canaveral offers a working port setting with modern facilities. Trips depart from a developed charter dock with amenities nearby. If you have never fished before, Jason's experience makes it easy to learn the basics and still have success. If you are bringing your own gear or tackle preferences, let him know when you reserve your spot.
