Chad Starling
Identity Verified
Based in Jacksonville, Florida, Team Buck Rogers Charters offers professionally guided inshore and offshore fishing trips for anglers of all skill levels. Led by Captain Chad Starling, a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain with over 25 years of experience, this charter service is known for its local knowledge, steady results, and strong focus on customer care.
Captain Chad specializes in offshore fishing, using methods such as bottom fishing and trolling to target a wide range of species throughout the year. The waters off Jacksonville provide excellent fishing opportunities thanks to natural and artificial structures like ledges, caves, concrete rubble, culverts, and reef balls. Guests can expect to encounter species such as Red Snapper, Gag Grouper, Vermilion Snapper, Black Sea Bass, Cobia, King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, Tarpon, and various types of sharks, including occasional sightings of larger pelagic sharks.
Trips are run aboard one of two center console boats equipped with GPS, fish finders, VHF radios, and all required safety gear. Both boats include a private toilet and a shaded area under a T-top for comfort during longer outings. A cooler is also available for storing personal drinks and snacks.
All essential fishing equipment is provided, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait. Fishing licenses are covered for everyone on board, so there’s no need to purchase one separately. Guests are encouraged to bring sun protection such as sunscreen and polarized sunglasses, especially for full-day outings.
Whether you’re fishing for the first time or you’ve been doing it for years, Captain Chad and his crew work hard to ensure every trip runs smoothly and offers the chance to catch a variety of quality fish. Their commitment to clear communication, proper preparation, and thoughtful service helps create a positive experience on the water.
Choose Team Buck Rogers Charters for a well-organized and productive fishing outing in Northeast Florida. Book your spot today and get ready for a day of steady action and good company on the water.
