Second Generation Captain
My father had his license before me, and he put a rod in my hands before I could really hold one. Running charters was what he planned to do when he retired, and he never got the chance. I did.
Tell me what kind of day you want and I’ll handle the rest.

Family of 4 came out to celebrate my son's graduation. We went out fishing one day and caught our limit within a couple of hours! Jarrod and Ricky were great hosts! We went out again to the island and caught some lady fish, and found sand dollars. The island was great and even has a swing!

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Aquatic Escapes and Captain Jarrod Wallach! Captain Jarrod really knows his stuff, he put us right on the fish and made sure everyone on board had a great time, whether you were an experienced angler or brand new to fishing. We caught plenty of fish and came away with memories that will last a lifetime.

We booked a four hour afternoon trip with Aquatic Escapes, had a great time. Captain Jarrod and first mate Ricky put us on the fish. Caught some Snook and Redfish. Perfect afternoon. Will definitely fish with Captain Jarrod again!

Captain Jarrod and First Mate Aiden were terrific and very knowledgeable about the waters and regional species of fish. The day of our trip was very windy and the rough waters kept us closer inshore than planned but Jarrod quickly adapted to the conditions and put us on Spanish Mackerel, Snook, Ladyfish and we even caught a very large puffer!

Unfortunately we didn't have good weather. It was only 49 degrees, cloudy with wind and rain. Captain Jarrod took us up into the Little Manatee River to start. I caught a couple of fish but nothing we could keep. It's not Captain Jarrod's fault that we had bad weather and we did have our chances to hook fish. I would recommend him and if I get a chance next year I would like to try it again. Thanks Captain Jarrod!

Captain Jarrod, from the moment we booked the charter to the moment we got off it, was very informative and professional. Lillie and Jen were awesome mates and helped with the kids. It was fun and washing the saltwater off in the spring was the best. The kids got ice cream on the water. We for sure had a blast and will book it again!

Captain Jarrod was nothing but positive. I had not fished since I was a small child, and he guided us as to what to do and why plus some pretty interesting stories. His first mate was amazing as well. I have never been on a fishing charter before but the experience with Captain Jarrod makes me want to do it again FOR SURE.

Jarrod was an amazing guide and very accommodating. Went scalloping and he got in the water with us to show us around. Also very social and had a great time on the boat with music and having fun. Definitely would recommend and book again.

Me and my son booked Jarrod to have some fun on the water. Jarrod and his mate were a blast and they put us on Snapper and Spanish Mackerels. Best 4 hours I have ever experienced. Jarrod cleaned all our fish afterwards and put them in bags on ice.
