Ratings & Reviews Summary
August 15, 2025
We caught plenty of fish, though most were on the smaller side. Jason worked hard the entire trip, but the big ones just didn’t cooperate this time. Still, we had a good time and plan to book with him again next time we're on Florida’s east coast.

Captain was awesome—highly recommend this trip! We had a fun day on the water and caught some sharks along with other fish.

We did the 6-hour offshore trip and had a great time from start to finish. The crew kept our lines baited the entire time and really got into it when someone hooked a good fish. We brought in kingfish, triggerfish, and snapper. It was a solid trip, and we’ll definitely book with them again.

Jason and Randy are great guys and clearly know their way around the Cape Canaveral waters. The bite wasn’t nonstop, but they still put us on fish—and I even landed a Snook. You’re guaranteed a good time when you book with ShayJay Fishing Charters!

We had a great time out on the water. The crew was awesome and kept us on fish for most of the trip. It was one of those light bite days with lots of small catches and a few big ones that got away—that’s just how it goes sometimes. This trip was nearshore, but we’re definitely planning to go offshore next time. Already looking forward to booking with them again next year.

Our offshore trip had to be changed due to wind, but Captain Jason gave us a heads-up a few days early and offered an inshore option instead. We didn’t catch a ton of fish, but we landed 4–6 different species—including a couple of baby sharks. The crew was great throughout. You can’t make the fish bite every day, but they definitely gave it their all.
