North Florida Fishing Charters offers world-class light tackle inshore and backwater fishing along Northeast Florida’s scenic waterways, led by Captain Ron Schurr, a full-time fishing guide living in Jacksonville Beach who has fished these home waters — Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Amelia Island — for more than 30 years.

Trips explore an extensive network of bays, spartina islands, and tidal creeks throughout the region, home to three of the state’s most sought-after game fish available year-round: Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, and Flounder. Captain Ron meets guests at a boat ramp convenient to their location across Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Fernandina, Ponte Vedra, and Amelia Island, tuning every trip to the guest’s specific skill level.

With extraordinarily glowing, multi-year repeat testimonials, guest reviews describe Captain Ron as “the king of skinny water,” praised for pushing into shallow spots few other guides fish, using a poling platform to sight fish without spooking the catch, and genuinely moving on quickly if a spot isn’t producing rather than waiting around. One particularly heartfelt review describes a family purchasing a Valentine’s Day gift certificate for their husbands, with Captain Ron customizing the trip entirely to the recipients’ preferences — resulting in “the most fun he’s ever had fishing” and a cooler full of red drum, flounder, and trout. Another first-time Amelia Island visitor described catching an estimated 75 redfish in a single full-day trip, calling it the most worn out he’d been from fishing in 45 years.

The business is backed by trusted partners including Costa Del Mar, Maverick Boats, Yamaha Outboards, Hatch Outdoors, and Power-Pole.

For anglers of any experience level near Jacksonville/Northeast Florida looking for a genuinely exceptional, more than 30-year established light tackle inshore fishing guide, North Florida Fishing Charters offers an outstanding operation with Captain Ron Schurr.
