We'll hit the rich waters around Jupiter, targeting trophy-sized Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, and Permit. With all the gear provided and room for up to four anglers, this trip is perfect for families, friends, or solo fishermen looking to learn from the pros. Let's dive into what makes this Jupiter fishing charter a can't-miss experience!
Kick off your day bright and early as we load up the boat and head out to Jupiter's prime inshore fishing grounds. You'll be armed with top-notch gear and fresh bait, ready to tangle with some of Florida's hardest-fighting fish. Our seasoned captains know these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll waste no time getting to the honey holes. Expect a mix of sight fishing, working structure, and maybe even some fly fishing if that's your style. Throughout the day, you'll get hands-on instruction on everything from reading the water to perfecting your hook-set. And hey, if you're new to this, don't sweat it – we love showing first-timers the ropes and watching them land their first big catch.
On this trip, we'll use a variety of tactics to put you on the fish. For Snook and Redfish, we might be tossing live bait around mangroves or working jigs along seawalls. When targeting Tarpon, get ready for some heart-pounding surface action as these silver kings explode on topwater lures. Permit fishing requires finesse, so we might switch to light tackle and crab imitations. Throughout the day, your guide will be right there, coaching you on presentation, retrieval speeds, and how to play these powerful fish. We've got all the gear you need – from light spinning setups to heavier conventional tackle for those big Tarpon. Just bring your game face, and we'll handle the rest.
Snook are the rockstars of inshore fishing around Jupiter. These hard-fighting linesiders love to hang around structure and can grow to over 40 inches. They're known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps, making them a blast to catch on light tackle. Spring and fall are prime times for Snook, but we catch them year-round in Jupiter's waters.
Tarpon, often called the "Silver King," are the ultimate inshore trophy. These prehistoric powerhouses can tip the scales at over 100 pounds and are famous for their gill-rattling jumps and long, drag-screaming runs. Late spring through summer is Tarpon season in Jupiter, and hooking one of these giants is an experience you'll never forget.
Redfish, with their distinctive spot near the tail, are another top target on our trips. These copper-colored bruisers are known for their powerful runs and delicious taste (if you're keeping a few for dinner). Fall is the peak season for big Reds, but we catch them year-round in the Jupiter area.
Permit are the holy grail for many inshore anglers. These wary fish have excellent eyesight and can be incredibly picky eaters. But when you do hook up, be ready for a fight. Permit have broad, flat bodies that they use to their advantage, making them one of the hardest-pulling fish for their size. Spring and summer are your best bets for Permit in Jupiter.
Sea Trout, while often overlooked, are a blast to catch and great for anglers of all skill levels. These spotted predators hunt in grass flats and around dropoffs, eagerly attacking lures and live bait. They're available year-round but tend to be most active in the cooler months. Sea Trout are also excellent table fare if you're looking to bring home a fresh dinner.
What sets Jupiter apart as an inshore fishing destination? For starters, the variety of habitats packed into a relatively small area. In a single day, we might hit mangrove shorelines, grass flats, bridge pilings, and even some nearshore reefs. This diversity means more opportunities to catch different species and learn various techniques. Plus, the water quality around Jupiter is top-notch, thanks to the nearby Jupiter Inlet flushing the area with clean ocean water. This keeps the baitfish population healthy and the gamefish fat and happy. And let's not forget the scenery – from the beautiful beaches to the chance of spotting dolphins or manatees, a day on the water here is about more than just the fishing.

Permit are the holy grail of flats fishing here in Jupiter. These wary, silvery discs typically run 15-25 pounds, but monsters over 40 pounds aren't unheard of. You'll find them tailing on shallow flats or cruising near offshore wrecks. Spring and summer are prime as permit move inshore to spawn. They're notoriously difficult to catch, which is exactly why anglers love targeting them. Permit have incredible eyesight and spook easily, so stealth is key. I prefer using small live crabs, but fly fishing for permit is the ultimate challenge. When you do hook one, be ready for blistering runs and a long, dogged fight. My best tip: always keep your eyes peeled for that distinctive forked tail breaking the surface. Landing a permit is a true trophy, no matter the size.

Redfish are one of our most popular inshore targets here in Jupiter. These bronze bruisers typically run 20-30 inches, but bull reds over 40 inches show up in the fall. Look for them tailing on shallow flats or hanging around oyster bars and mangroves. They're here year-round, but fall and winter are prime as big schools move in. Redfish put up a great fight on light tackle, with powerful runs and head shakes. Sight-fishing for tailing reds is a real thrill. I like to use live or cut bait, but artificials like gold spoons work well too. When you spot a school, cast beyond them and slowly drag your bait into the zone. Once hooked, let them run to tire out before bringing them in. Remember, slot-sized reds make great eating, but release the big breeders.

Sea trout, or speckled trout, are a staple of inshore fishing here in Jupiter. These spotted beauties usually run 15-20 inches, but gator trout over 5 pounds aren't uncommon. You'll find them prowling grass flats and deeper holes, especially around dawn and dusk. Fall through spring is prime time as the water cools. Trout are fun to catch on light tackle and make excellent table fare. They're not the hardest fighters, but their aggressive strikes make up for it. I like to drift the flats with live shrimp under a popping cork - when that cork goes under, hold on tight! Artificials like soft plastics and topwater lures work great too. Just remember to practice catch-and-release with the bigger spawning females to keep our fishery healthy.

Snook are a prized catch here in Jupiter. These sleek, powerful fish typically run 20-30 inches, but can grow over 4 feet long. You'll find them hanging around mangroves, docks, and other structures in the inshore waters. Spring and fall are prime seasons as snook move between their winter and summer haunts. Anglers love targeting snook for their explosive strikes and acrobatic fights. They're wary fish though, so stealth and patience are key. I like to use live bait like pilchards or pinfish, but artificials work too if you know their favorite spots. When you hook one, be ready for some drag-screaming runs. Just remember, snook are catch-and-release only in Florida from December through February to protect the spawning population.

Tarpon are the silver kings of inshore fishing here in Jupiter. These prehistoric-looking fish can reach sizes over 6 feet and 150 pounds, giving you the fight of a lifetime. Look for them rolling and gulping air in deeper channels and along beaches, especially during their spring and summer migration. Tarpon are famous for their spectacular aerial acrobatics when hooked - nothing beats seeing a massive silver fish launch completely out of the water. They're a true bucket list species for many anglers. Live bait like mullet or crabs work well, but fly fishing for tarpon is the ultimate challenge. When you hook up, be ready for a lengthy battle. My best tip: bow to the king when it jumps to avoid breaking your line. It's all catch-and-release, so bring a camera to capture the memory.
