"Awesome Angling"

Thank You, Florida Light Tackle Charters!

Capt. Ray McCauley

"Light Tackle & Fly-fishing Specialist"

Capt Ray McCauley is a 37 year old native of Jacksonville Florida.  For him, fishing is not a hobby but a way of life. "Born and raised" with a rod and reel in his hands, Capt. Ray was blessed with a father who took the time to take him fishing. This fostered his love for the sport.

  In 1992, Capt. Ray obtained his captains license and began guiding angling enthusiasts to his favorite "hot spots".  Since then, he has been living the life most anglers dream about, plying the waters of northeast Florida and sharing his passion for fishing.

Sight Seeing & Nature Tours:  Nestled along the St. John’s River are some of NE Florida’s most beautiful estuaries. Your private adventure will take you through these areas where you can view or photograph wildlife from the comfort of Capt. Ray’s Action Craft. 

Maximum Anglers:   Six

Boat:  Capt. Ray operates a brand new Albermarle Express Sportfisher.  She is just under 35’ in length and has an 11’ beam.  For those of you that think an excursion on a "hardcore" fishing machine means "roughing it", think again. With the ability to maintain high cruising speeds in sloppy sea conditions and still display an extremely soft and dry ride, the Albemarle 320 Express runs smoothly and efficiently. This is one of the few and rare boats that truly measures up to the performance expected of a real sportfishing boat.  In addition to its exceptional performance characteristics, the 320 Express is a real winner in terms of comfort and livability. Pure performance, comfort, and fishability put this Albemarle in a class by itself.

Charter includes:  Rod, reels, live, dead & artificial bait, tackle, fishing licenses, sodas & water, ice, fish cleaning & bagging and no fish no pay guarantee.  Our professional and friendly attitude is free of charge.
