As an enthusiast of light tackle inshore fishing, he offers expert guidance on how to effectively use artificial lures, flies, or live bait, adapting to any water environment.
Our adventure with Captain Craig was truly memorable. We brought along three generations, including my grandfather, a young nephew, and my brother-in-law. Captain Craig’s expertise with kids shone brightly, especially since he runs a local youth fishing camp. We started by catching bluefish following a pattern Craig had identified, then cruised along Palm Beach to multiple hot spots teeming with various species on nearly every cast. Throughout the day, Craig kept us engaged and successful, even pointing out unique sights like the Palm Beach Island homes and the Viking yacht. We can’t wait to return—thank you, Craig!
Spending time with Captain TJ was an absolute blast! Always punctual, professional, and knowledgeable, he guided us to an impressive number of fish. With Captain TJ’s expertise, we knew we were in great hands and definitely plan to book another trip. Highly recommended!
Captain Craig delivered an outstanding day on the water, helping us catch all the fish we hoped for and more. His communication before, during, and after the trip made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. We highly recommend Captain Craig and will cherish the memories from this special birthday celebration. Many thanks, Captain Craig!
What an incredible fishing outing we had yesterday with Captain TJ! My nephew hasn’t stopped talking about it since. Over four hours, we reeled in a variety of fish, including jackfish and barracuda. TJ took time to teach my nephew about the boat’s equipment and patiently assisted him with catching fish. The trip flew by! The boat was well stocked with snacks, and TJ even provided sunscreen when I mentioned I’d left ours behind. Huge thanks for making this four-hour excursion the highlight of my nephew’s summer!
Captain Craig is not only a skilled guide but also a wonderful instructor with a genuine passion for teaching. He expertly led us to all the best fishing spots and helped my teenage son, initially reluctant, discover the joys of the outdoors. Booking through CaptainExperiences.com was smooth and communication flawless from start to finish. If you’re unsure, just go for it—especially if you have the chance to fish with Craig!
Experiencing lake fishing in Florida with Captain TJ was unforgettable, especially on a father-daughter trip. We caught several Peacock Bass, Clown Knifes, and Cichlids. A local expert through and through, TJ knew every hotspot, making the day feel like fishing with an old friend. Craig’s understanding of topics like water and fish conservation, as well as regional environmental changes, added depth to our outing. Spending four hours immersed in the tranquility of the mangroves—with birds and fish all around, and no million-dollar mansions in sight—was truly special. Every fish was treated with care and released back into their natural habitat. We explored many locations, catching different species at each stop. Captain Craig is thoughtful, experienced, and an excellent captain who we wholeheartedly recommend. At the end, I almost gave him a hug but held back! Many thanks, Craig—here’s to your continued success.
The Pultz family enjoyed a fantastic fishing trip targeting largemouth bass on Lake Okeechobee. Captain Craig worked diligently to locate the fish and provided great companionship throughout the outing. We caught plenty and even collected a few mangrove branches! His extensive knowledge of the backcountry and local stories made the experience even richer. We highly recommend spending a few hours fishing with him!

Join Captain Craig for an exciting nighttime fly fishing adventure in the calm, inshore waters around Jupiter, FL. With minimal boat traffic and hungry fish on the prowl, night is the perfect time to catch some impressive prize fish. Many species become more aggressive after dark, feeling safer from predators, making it an excellent opportunity to land trophy catches. Your strategy will involve casting near dock lights, where fish gather, ready for you to set the hook and reel them in!
This unique experience is ideal whether you’re an experienced fly angler or a traditional fisherman eager to try something new. You'll be pursuing classic Florida gamefish like Redfish, Snook, and Tarpon—species known to thrive after dark and commonly found around the illuminated docks, giving you plenty of chances to hook a memorable catch.
On the night of your trip, you’ll fish aboard Captain Craig’s 24-foot Travis bay boat, powered by a 250HP Suzuki engine. This vessel is perfectly suited for the local inshore waters and fully equipped to ensure a comfortable and productive outing. Captain Craig provides all the necessary gear, including fly rods, reels, bait, and tackle. Your only responsibility is to dress appropriately for the nighttime conditions—no sunscreen required on this trip!
