The Story

A Lifetime on South Florida Water

Captain Jason Robinson is a South Florida native with a lifetime of fishing experience both inshore and offshore. Growing up in the Miami area has given Jason the opportunity to fish for everything from tarpon in the bay to billfish on the edge. The passion and love he has for fishing shows from the second you step on board.

In the last 8 years, he has competed, placed, and won several world renowned tournaments. Captain Jason has been featured on multiple fishing television shows including "Bass2billfish" with Peter Miller. He also has knowledge fishing all over the Bahamas and the Caribbean.

A day with Jason can range from giving children or beginners their first South Florida experience to challenging even the most experienced anglers. He's willing to go the extra mile to make your next fishing experience a memory that will last a lifetime.
