Discover the best of Florida’s east coast with Just Hooked Fishing Charters, offering guided inshore, nearshore, and offshore fishing trips across New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, Mosquito Lagoon, and the Indian River. Whether you’re a first-time angler, a family looking for an easy day on the water, or an experienced fisherman chasing trophy catches, Captain Jason Stickels will make sure your day is safe, relaxed, and packed with action.
Born and raised in Central Florida, Captain Jason is a true native who’s spent over two decades fishing these waters. His local knowledge of the Indian River Lagoon System and Mosquito Lagoon means he always knows where the fish are biting. From tailing Redfish and Spotted Sea Trout to Snook and Black Drum, you’ll have the chance to target a wide variety of prized inshore species depending on the season. Jason is also a patient teacher who enjoys helping kids and beginners build confidence on the water.
For inshore and nearshore adventures, you’ll ride aboard a 22’ Pathfinder powered by a 200 HP Suzuki engine, built for shallow-water access and smooth cruising. The boat accommodates up to four guests and comes equipped with everything you need—rods, reels, bait, ice, and water. Offshore anglers can climb aboard a 27’ Sea Hunt with twin 300 HP Yamahas, ideal for deeper runs up to 20 miles out. Offshore trips target Snapper, Grouper, Kingfish, Cobia, Barracuda, and more.
Trips typically start around 6:30 AM and range from 6 to 10 hours, giving you plenty of time to explore the area’s diverse fishing grounds. For families or those wanting a slower pace, there’s also a Family Fun Fishing Charter and a Sandbar Excursion perfect for relaxing and swimming in crystal-clear water.
Captain Jason is USCG-licensed and fully insured, and all fishing licenses are included. With a focus on safety, conservation, and fun, he’s committed to creating lasting memories on every trip.
Join Just Hooked Fishing Charters and experience why New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach are known as two of Florida’s premier saltwater fishing destinations. Whether it’s the calm backwaters of the Mosquito Lagoon or the open waters off Ponce Inlet, you’re sure to leave the dock with great stories, new skills, and maybe even the catch of a lifetime.
