Grocery Cart Fishing Charters had a highly productive day on the water recently, proving that the Blackfin Tuna are thick off the coast of Jensen Beach. Captain Dennis hosted two separate four-hour charters, and both the morning and afternoon sessions resulted in a "full grocery cart" of quality fish.

The morning trip was a standout success for a group of young anglers, who managed to land six solid Blackfin Tuna. Providing a professional and patient environment for children is a core part of the Grocery Cart experience, ensuring the next generation of anglers builds confidence while reeling in these powerful pelagics. The afternoon followed suit with another quick four-hour session where more "stud" Blackfins were brought over the gunnels for a returning client.

Blackfin Tuna Take Over the Reefs

We put together a great mixed bag for Bob, Kurt, Dick, & Rick. Some decent sized BF tuna 🍣, Almaco, & a small Mahi! Lost quite a few hooks from toothy critter’s & stripped baits from short bites.  Stuart Live Bait thread fins gave us lots of action.

Fishing with the Grocery Cart Fishing Charters crew in Jensen Beach, Florida was a real blast today. The weather was a bit on the rainy side, with some clouds rolling in, but that didn't slow down the action one bit. Eric Prather and his group of four joined me for a 4-Hour Inshore Fishing Trip, and we had a fantastic time exploring the beautiful inner coastal waterways.

As soon as we got the lines in the water, the fish started biting. We had a mix of Sheepshead, Bluefish, and Common Snook hitting our baits, and the crew was hooked up left and right. The Sheepshead put up a great fight, their unique teeth really clamping down on the hooks. And when that Bluefish hit, it was all about trying to keep it from stripping the line right off the reel! The Common Snook were a real highlight too - those torpedo-shaped bodies and incredible jumping ability make them such a thrill to target.

Throughout the trip, the weather stayed fairly cooperative, with just enough rain to keep things interesting. The water clarity was excellent, and we were able to spot baitfish and other marine life as we worked our way through the mangroves and along the shoreline. Between the steady action and the beautiful natural surroundings, the time just flew by. Before we knew it, our 4-hour trip was coming to an end, but we had plenty of great memories and some tasty fillets to take home.

If you're looking to experience the best inshore fishing Jensen Beach, FL has to offer, I highly recommend booking a trip with Grocery Cart Fishing Charters. Whether you're an experienced angler or just getting started, we'll make sure you have an amazing time on the water.

Inshore Fishing Adventure with Grocery Cart Charters in Jensen Beach, FL

Greater Amberjack

Heading out on the water for our Private 6 Hour Offshore Fishing Trip In Jensen Beach with Grocery Cart Fishing Charters was exactly the adventure I was looking forward to. February is a great time to target pelagic species like Greater amberjack and Mahi Mahi off the coast here, and with partly cloudy skies and calm seas, the conditions were ideal for an amazing day on the water.

We wasted no time getting our lines in the water, using a mix of fishing techniques to cover different depths and target the active fish. It wasn't long before the rods started bending, and we were reeling in some nice Greater amberjack and Mahi Mahi. These fish put up such a great fight, stripping drag and jumping clear of the water. It was an absolute blast watching Amy work them in, her enthusiasm and skill shining through with every catch.

As the day went on, the action stayed steady, and we had a wonderful time exploring the reefs and open water in search of more trophy fish. In between the bites, we took in the gorgeous ocean views and just enjoyed being out on the water together. There's nothing quite like the camaraderie and shared experience of a successful offshore fishing trip, and this one had that in spades.
