Inshore anglers can target Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Black Drum, and Tarpon in the area’s creeks, flats, and estuaries. Nearshore and offshore trips provide opportunities to pursue Kingfish, Cobia, Amberjack, Grouper, Red Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, Tuna, and more, depending on the season.

At HooDoo, we specialize in creating a safe, fun, and welcoming atmosphere for families, kids, first-time anglers, and experienced fishermen alike. Our goal is simple: provide an exciting fishing experience while helping you create lasting memories with family and friends.

Every charter includes quality rods, reels, tackle, bait, fishing licenses, and fish cleaning at the dock. All you need to bring are your favorite drinks, snacks, sunscreen, and a readiness for adventure.

From the first cast to the final photo with your catch, the HooDoo crew is committed to delivering exceptional service and a first-class fishing experience.

Meet Your Charter Captain

Leading Thrilling Sportfishing Adventures from Northeast Florida

Captain Timothy Altman is a retired military veteran with a lifelong passion for angling. For the past 25 years, he’s primarily focused on offshore and competitive tournament fishing, ultimately becoming a Charter Captain because he loves to put people on fish and is committed to going the extra mile to do so. His real joy is watching someone reel in a fish they’ve only ever dreamed about.

Capt. Tim has won or placed in a myriad of tournaments from Ocean City, Maryland, to Saint Augustine, Florida, and is a two-time Jacksonville Sailfish Pot Trophy winner. He has been featured in the Florida Sportsman Magazine and does High-Speed Wahoo Trolling seminars throughout the state for the Florida Sportsman Expos.
