Look for The best fishing spots in Florida?
About Captain Jake Florida Fishing Guide, Captain Jake Herrin has been fishing out of Yankeetown, Florida for nearly 30 years now, so is very familiar with the area and feels right "at home" on the water. Located on the Central West Coast, you'll be fishing some of the best areas around, from Cedar Key north to the Crystal River, Homosassa & Chassahowitzka area south.
The Captain started his "fishing career" back in the fifties when his family moved to Florida from South Georgia to help run a fresh water fish camp on Orange Lake. He was guiding out of the camp when he was about 11 years old and bagging large varieties of fresh water fish for some very happy customers. Both his Mom and Dad were very avid Bass fishermen catching some very nice Bass and several other fresh water species throughout the years. You could say he just has fishing in his blood! A friend talked him in to coming over to this area to fish one day about 30 years ago and he's been coming here since, having caught "salt water fishing fever". Redfish, Speckled Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, & Shark are just some of the fish you can catch in this area plus, some other species that can be caught at different times of the year; Pompano, Flounder, Blues, nice keeper Black Bass & Mangrove Snapper, plus a few other miscellaneous species! He's even been known to catch some nice "Inshore" Grouper at certain times of the year. Fishing license is provided for up to Four Anglers, plus tackle & bait, just bring your lunch in a small cooler and something to drink! The Captain will even clean and bag your fish for you! So why not make a date to go out for a relaxing day of fishing?
