My name is Captain Jeff Patterson, with Pole Dancer Fishin’ Charters. Fishing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was old enough to hold a rod, I’ve been chasing fish across the waters of Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, the Halifax and Tomoka Rivers, and through Ponce Inlet. My dad was the one who first introduced me to fishing, and that early passion has only grown stronger over the years.

When you book a trip with me, my goal is simple: to make sure you have a great time on the water and an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s your very first trip or you’ve been fishing your whole life, I’ll tailor the day to fit your skill level. Kids are always welcome, and I love seeing families enjoy time together on the water.

You’ll be fishing aboard my 23′ C-Hawk center console, powered by a 200 HP Suzuki that gets us where we need to go quickly and comfortably. The boat is equipped with GPS, fishfinder, a live bait well, and an icebox for your catch. I provide everything you need: rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses. At the end of the trip, I’ll gladly clean and fillet your fish so you can take it home for dinner.

Depending on the season, we’ll target a variety of inshore and nearshore species including redfish, snook, tarpon, black drum, sheepshead, flounder, and permit. Every day on the water is a little different, and that’s what makes it special.

At Pole Dancer Fishin’ Charters, I take pride in what I do. My goal is to share my love for fishing and help others create memories that last a lifetime.
