A great day on the water!
"I took my stepdad out for his birthday on 3/4 day with Capt Jason and we had the best day. Capt Jason was extremely knowledgeable and awesome to hang with. His boat was clean and very nice. We caught multiple different species and about 12 fish in total. If the fish weren't biting we moved out and headed to a different spot. Capt Jason took us to a spot where my stepdad and I both caught monster redfish!!! If you are looking for a great day on the water I would recommend Bad Juju charters. We will definitely be back again!"

The best fishing experience!
"Was without a doubt the best fishing experiences I have ever had. Jason had all his great spots picked out. We caught fish… went to several spots and caught bigger fish. Not only that, but being the only one of the charter was pretty special. I learned how to fish, how to use the current, tie knots in hooks, etc. This guy is great!! If you’re in the Daytona area and want to have fun, book a 1/2 day, full day with him. You won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to go back!! Thank you Jason for making my week and my vacation memorable!!"
