Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Roland consistently delivers exceptional fishing results, with customers catching redfish over slot size, tarpon, sharks, trout, and flounder during their trips. He demonstrates impressive water knowledge by working the tides effectively even in challenging conditions like stained water, and his ability to locate fish stands out - one customer noted they caught more fish than anyone nearby despite 700 tournament boats in the area. Roland teaches proper techniques while letting guests actively participate in the experience. Customers consistently describe Roland as incredibly friendly, patient, and accommodating, especially with children and first-time anglers. He creates a relaxed, fun atmosphere with great music and down-to-earth personality that makes families feel comfortable. Many guests mention bonus experiences like dolphin watching with over 100 dolphins and babies. Customers regularly express plans to book with Roland again and recommend him wholeheartedly to others.

Captain Roland does not disappoint!! My girlfriend booked a fishing trip for my birthday and had me find the captain to take us out and I came across Captain Roland. Our experience was not only above expectations but personable and genuinely a great hangout on the water whether you choose to fish or lay in the sun like my girlfriend! Captain Roland will personalize the experience to your liking to maximize the time your line is in the water or find the best sandbar to eat lunch on. He does it all! Highly recommend his charter to anyone looking or interested in a great Florida fishing experience winter or summer!

Roland got us our goal of redfish over slot size for kiddos .plenty of fish for taco nite. Day was bright sunny mild. Water was stained but Roland worked the tides to keep everyone lined tight. The smiles on everyone's faces are golden. Thanks Charles

I can’t say enough about Roland. I’ve fished with him the past 2 years, and had epic trips. He’s very knowledgeable, cares about his clients having a great time, and always ensures we are catching fish. We caught several big sharks, including a 10ft lemon shark. This year caught a 69-1/2” Wahoo - the fish of a lifetime. Beyond the amazing fishing, he’s also a lot of fun to fish with. If you’re in the Jacksonville area and are looking for a great day of fishing - book with Roland and be ready to have the time of your life

Great guy, great charter. He took out three of my family members fishing this morning and they had one of the best fishing experiences of their life. I would recommend this charter to anyone who wants to go catch a bunch of fish! Thanks so much!

Great experience on the water, Captain Bell put my family on the fish and they absolutely wore them out! I’d recommend calling this guy if you want to get on the fish! Thanks again!

What an epic day on the water with Bell & Anchor Fishing Charters! Captain Roland knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he had us on fish non-stop. By the end, we’d limited out on redfish and sheepshead, and even landed a bonus trout and a hefty black drum. He kept the the day laid-back and fun, yet when a fish hit the line the excitement went through the roof. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience – We are already planning our next trip!
