Sisters with husbands and teenager met up in Treasure Island area. Booked a half-day with Capt Shane. Just four days after Hurricane Idalia passed by the area but Capt Shane found a great spot for snook, trout, redfish and dolphins! The dolphins were a treat- mom & youngster which we were able to keep at bay a bit. Then so good trout fishing ending with a beautiful little reef shark! Fabulous day! We will certainly look up Capt Shane again!

We had an amazing experience with Scotty J's Charters. The captain was knowledgeable and friendly, making the fishing trip enjoyable from start to finish. The beautiful boat was well-equipped, and we caught plenty of fish. Highly recommend them for a great day on the water and a memorable fishing trip!

We booked the trip with Scotty. We have done a few trips in the past with other guides, but this was one of the best. He and his son were great hosts. He was very knowledgeable about fishing and the areas to go to. They were very helpful. He was on time and easy to work with. We will use him again next time.

Capt Shane did a great job putting us on fish. He is very friendly and patient. He is extremely knowledgeable about the fisheries around Tampa Bay. He sent us to a local seafood restaurant with our catch and they cooked it for us. I highly recommend him for your next fishing trip. Rich

My family and I had an incredible experience with Captain Rich and his son Scotty. Rich put us on the fish , we caught several different species, including yellow tail snapper, cobia, red groupers, remora, grunter. Scotty was great with helping my 5 year old son and my 13 year old daughter. One of the nicest boats I've been on, brand new with twin 300 horse power Yamaha engines, got us out to the finish no prob. I highly recommend the Father and Son team at Scotty Js Fishing Charters

We had a great time. Wife and kids had fun and caught a lot of fish. Captain Shane was a lot of fun, and made sure the bait and fish were always on.

It was my kids’ first fishing trip. Shane made it great. He found good spots, was patient with the kids. We had a great time.

Great time fishing with these guys they were very knowledgeable about the area and the fish. Would definitely go again

Great experience for my husband, myself, and two teenage boys. Very nice and comfortable boat, beautiful ride out and back, nice and hard working captain and his son, and some exciting and successful fishing. All we hoped it would be! Thanks again Captain Rich and Scott!

I had a amazing trip with Capt. Rich he had very good locations with plenty of bitting fish

The trip was very relaxing. Our boys had a great time catching all the fish they caught. We will book with Scotty J's again.

Captain Chris and Jack did a great job getting us on fish and taking care of us on our trip. Would use again.

Shane took us to the best spots in the area. We limited out and had a fun time. Best experience fishing me and the guys ever had.

I don’t really want to post this review because selfishly I don’t want others to know about Rich. Seriously the trip was an extended 6 hour trip with my family. I asked for the ability to catch dinner and a possible photo opportunity. Rich delivered on both. It was great. I highly recommend ScottyJ’s Charters.

Shane got us right on the fish as soon as we started and was a great overall guide! Excellent equipment and knowledge of the area!

Captain rich put us on the fish from the first to last drop. Very friendly would highly recommend. He put us on some trophy mangrove snapper. Other catches include many Red Snapper, Yellowtail snapper, Almaco Jacks, Lane Snapper, Vermillion snapper and Red Grouper. Amazing trip would highly recommend for anyone looking to get on some fish.

Captain Rich and his 1st mate, Scotty, gave our sons and their friends an amazing day! They had a blast. They reported that they barely ate because they were busy catching fish. I highly recommend Captain Rich with Scotty J charter.

We had a blast fishing with Captain Shane. He is a great guide and kept us in the fish. Shane was determined to help us catch a tarpon. We were on them right away! We look forward to coming back next year to go for them again!

Wow what an amazing experience! Captain Rich put us straight on the fish and it was a beat down from there catching well over 40 fish and almost our 3 man limit on vermilion snapper! Hooked up on a great shark and fought a couple amber jacks!!! Was a blast and made memories we will never forget! Hands down YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! We will see you next year Captain Rich, Thankyou for such a pleasure able experience ! #gotSHARKED!!!

Great day of fishing…and catching….captain Rich was great and put us on the fish. Limited out and went after some AJ’s for fun….highly recommend Scotty J’S Charters.
