About Us

Join Sunshine Fishing Charters in the heart of the Florida Panhandle,  and take advantage of the fantastic fishing opportunities on offer  inshore or in the Gulf’s nearshore. Captain Jordan Nelson has been  running fishing trips for over 20 years and he’ll help you land the fish  of your dreams. Having been raised in the area, he’s the perfect guide  for your day out.

You’ll be fishing out of a spacious 22’ Cape Horn center console  boat, powered by a 225 HP Honda engine. The boat’s tower will provide  shade from the sun, while its large casting area on the bow will give  you plenty of room to hook your target fish. With a live bait tank on  board as well as GPS, fishfinder, and a VHF radio, the boat is well  equipped to put you on the fish and get you reeling ‘em in. 

During your trip, you can fish the bays for Redfish and Trout or  travel further out to fish for Red Snapper and Grouper in the Gulf.  Capt. Jordan suggests sight fishing for Redfish along the beach,  spinning for Red Snapper, and fly fishing for Trout, and he’s happy to  lend a helping hand to any novice. 

All the live bait and lures you will need are included in the price  of the trip, as are rods, reels, and tackle. You just need to bring  snacks and beverages you might want during the trip. 

You’re guaranteed to find a family-friendly atmosphere, as well as a  professional service to make sure you get the most out of your trip.  Children of all ages are welcome and Capt. Jordan is determined to keep  everyone entertained – even if they don’t like fishing.

Come and explore the prolific waters under the Floridian sun, and have fun with Sunshine Fishing Charters!
