Robert Bishop, Captain at Fishbuster Charters

Captain Robert Bishop has a long and storied history in the world of fishing. Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, he grew up fishing the same waters that he now takes his clients out on. He has been fishing professionally for over 40 years, and he knows the area like the back of his hand.


In addition to his extensive experience in the world of fishing, Captain Robert is also an accomplished business owner. For over three decades, he owned and operated a successful car repair company in Jacksonville. This experience taught him the importance of customer service, and he brings that same dedication to his charter business. When you book a trip with Fishbuster Charters, you can be sure that you're getting a captain who is passionate about fishing and committed to providing his clients with the best possible experience. 


The vessel that Captain Robert uses for his charters is a beautiful 24’ Bluewater center console. This boat is ideal for up to 4 anglers, and it's powered by twin 150 Mercury 4-stroke engines that give it a maximum cruising speed of 49 knots. The boat is fully rigged with all the necessary safety equipment, as well as a Lawrence Elite-7 HDI GPS and Fishfinder to help locate the fish. For longer trips, there's a portable toilet on board to ensure maximum comfort. And for trolling, Captain Robert has installed Penn Fathommaster 600 downriggers, which are fitted for professional use. There are also two live wells loaded with fresh bait to make sure you're fully equipped for your trip.


Captain Robert's charters will take you to some of the best fishing spots in the Jacksonville area. You'll explore the Intracoastal waters and jetties, as well as hard bottom wrecks and ledges where the fish are abundant. The area is home to a wide variety of species, and you can expect to catch Tarpon, Barracuda, Wahoo, and Amberjack, among others. On longer trips, you might also reel in Red Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Jack Crevalle, and King Mackerel.


All the equipment you need for your trip will be provided, including rods, reels, and tackle. And at the end of the day, Captain Robert will carefully clean and fillet your catch so you can enjoy a delicious meal when you return home.


A trip with Captain Robert is an excellent way to spend some quality time with your family. You can bring drinks and snacks and enjoy the thrill of catching fish together while creating memories that will last a lifetime. Book your next fishing trip today!

This was a significant vacation for us since it was to commemorate my son's 18th birthday, and we wanted to give him an experience to remember. Unfortunately, the fish gods were not on our side, and we spent the majority of our time admiring the landscape because nothing was biting. Captain Rob, on the other hand, was fantastic; he kept moving us around in an attempt to hook us up with some fish. He was really pleasant, and we had a great time out on the water. Fingers crossed that the next excursion we have with him, the fish will bite better!

I had a great time and would go again if I were in town. The skipper was kind, and the boat was clean and comfy.

I had a fantastic experience. Captain Bishop of Fishbuster's was an excellent tour guide. Everyone had a good day catching flounder, reds, mangrove snapper, and jack crevalles in the morning. I would strongly suggest Fishbuster's and Captain Robert Vishop to everyone.
