Redfish and trout

Ron is the consummate guide; my wife and I have fished with him many times over the years and always enjoy wonderful days on the water; highly knowledgeable of local waters and techniques Ron is among the very best of all guides we've booked around the world. Super person, super fun to be with.

Capt Ron is the MAN! His knowledge of where the fish hang out is amazing. Been fishing with more than a few guides over the years. Def this was the best experience. I’m going to become a regular.

Ron is the king of "skinny water" fishing! I have fished light tackle with Ron for the last 3 years and believe me, he can get you to waters not many other anglers are fishing. Knowledgeable and hardworking, he often uses his polling platform to sight fish and get you close without spooking them. Unlike some professional guides I have used, if we are not catching fish at a certain location, we are not going to "wait to see if they turn on", we'll get moving! My experience is solely for reds and trout, but I am sure he would be equally good going after sheepshead for a family outing. Book Ron Schurr, you will not be disappointed

Captain Ron put us on the fish all day, it was unreal. Super knowledgeable, and a joy to be around. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great charter guide in jacksonville. —Augie R

After speaking with Captain Ron via email, my mother, sister in law and I purchased a gift certificate for our husbands to enjoy a day out together. It was purchased as a Valentines Day gift and each of us gave the guys a “You’re a Catch” type card with the details. Captain Ron allows you to purchase a trip in advance and then will customize it to your recipients’ preferences, so the guys were able to pick a date, time, and type of fishing that they preferred. Captain Ron supplied everything so all they had to do was meet him at the dock.

My husband said it was “the most fun he’s ever had fishing.”

Not only was this a gift the guys really enjoyed, but they brought home LOTS of fresh-caught fish for us to enjoy too. They caught an assortment of red drum, flounder and trout.

My first time to Amelia Island and I wanted to plan a fishing trip. After contacting many guides, Captain Ron was the one who gave me the time and answered all my questions prior to booking. Once I booked the trip, his communication with me wonderful. But nothing was as wonderful as the experience that I had while fishing with him. He told me not to expect it to be this way all the time. I booked a full day trip. Literally, I caught reds almost every cast for 4 hours. I know that I caught at least 75 red fish that ranged from 12-28 inches. It was the first time in 45 years of fishing that I seriously was worn out from fishing. What a great guide and also a great person. I will be back. Jamie Wayland
