We had a open day while vacationing and last minute booked a trip with Jared. Hands down one of the best fishing guides we have had. I have three boys, two of which were exhausted from the vacation itself and Jared did amazing with them. He was patient, kind, and funny. He pointed out things for the kids to see such as a dolphine, manatee, and stingray. We caught quite a few fish, as well as trees and a few bridges, and a few rat nests in our lines from the boys casting over one another. Which again Jared didnt bat an eye at. He would ask the boys “what happened” 🤣 we would definitely fish with him again. If you head out with him, ask him to taste test the line if you lose a fish. (Inside joke)

If you want a completely great experience fishing for Tarpon, then do not hesitate to book with Jared @ Living on the Line. He is very experienced, extremely knowledgeable about Tarpon, very helpful & “savvy” about fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. I did catch a monster Tarpon with Jared as the guide. If you want to fish for other species like Redfish, Snook, Sea Trout, or Permit, then he is your Man as well. I very much look forward to fishing with him again - it was an amazing experience fishing with Jared & the whole experience could have easily been a National Geographic Special - book with him - you won’t be disappointed!

We had an amazing experience with Captain Jared on our recent fishing charter out of Boca Grande. I brought my wife along for what was her first time fishing since she was a kid—and thanks to Jared, she’s completely hooked now!

Captain Jared was the perfect guide: knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone has a great time. He knew exactly where to take us for the best action and made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and exciting. His boat was clean and comfortable, and he had all the gear ready to go, so we could just enjoy the day and focus on reeling them in.

Seeing my wife light up with excitement every time she got a bite was the highlight of the trip. She’s already asking when we can go back—and there’s no question we’ll be booking with Captain Jared again.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable day of fishing, whether you’re experienced or brand new to the sport. Thanks again, Captain Jared!

Capt Jared worked hard to get us on fish. We covered multiple areas from mangrove islands to docks. Caught a variety of fish but seemed to be frequently shadowed by dolphins today, which although entertaining did not help the cause. Capt Jared is very knowledgeable and has been fishing these waters most of his life. He did not waste time if an area did not hold fish and quickly moved on. Boat is comfortable and handles skinny waters well. T-top is welcome break from sun on hot days.Will go back out with him in future.

Our crew of 5 went out for a morning excursion. We had a fabulous time with Captain Jared.
We tried hard for some tarpon early AM but they wouldn’t play. We sprinted over to black drum hot spot and nailed them for hours.
Great captain, great conversation, great experience for our less experienced crew.
So much fun!!
