Welcome to Captain Ron’s fishing charter in Yankeetown, Florida, where calm backwaters, grass flats, and near-coast Gulf waters create ideal conditions for anglers of all experience levels. Operating from 15 Hickory Ave in Yankeetown, Florida, Captain Ron offers laid-back, family-friendly trips focused on steady action, wildlife sightings, and a comfortable day on the water.

Captain Ron is a licensed United States Coast Guard captain and Coast Guard veteran with decades of small-boat handling experience. After serving four years and relocating to Florida, he built his charter around sharing local waters with guests in a safe, relaxed environment. His approach is simple: clear instruction, patience with beginners, and attention to kids and first-time anglers so everyone feels confident and involved.

Fishing trips take place aboard an 18-foot Boston Whaler Dauntless designed for shallow water fishing around the Withlacoochee River and the inshore Gulf. These areas hold healthy populations of Redfish, Sea Trout, Snook, and seasonal Bluefish. Using live bait, artificial lures, and trolling techniques, Captain Ron adjusts each trip to conditions and skill level. Whether you’re learning to cast or refining technique, he helps you every step of the way.

Families are especially welcome, and children ages six and up can participate when accompanied by parents. All fishing licenses are included, so guests only need to bring sun protection, drinks, and a camera. Many trips turn into wildlife viewing experiences as well, with frequent sightings of dolphins, manatees, eagles, and coastal birds along the river and shoreline.

In addition to fishing, Captain Ron runs scalloping trips during the July through September season using a comfortable 22-foot Godfrey pontoon boat. These trips are perfect for groups who want a hands-on water activity combined with swimming and exploring shallow grass beds. Evening sunset and nature cruises are also available for guests who prefer sightseeing and relaxing coastal scenery.

If you’re searching for a dependable Yankeetown, Florida fishing charter that welcomes beginners, families, and experienced anglers alike, Captain Ron provides a safe, enjoyable day centered on local knowledge and genuine hospitality.
