YOUR GUIDE

Your professional guide for the trip, Captain Jim McWhorter, is the owner and sole operator of Catch A Memory Charters. He is a Florida native and has caught everything in the Gulf waters in the past 30 years, from large sharks to exotic snapper. Your guide is licensed as both an inland and deep sea charter captain, but is most excited about the Gulf's sport fishing action offshore from Sarasota.

   

Captain Jim tries to make every charter worth remembering, whether you are experienced, a first-timer or a child. He is patient and wants his fishing trips to be fun and affordably priced. His goal is to leave you with a memory of hooking that really big one. See our customers and their awesome catches on the Recent Photos page.

The guide for your charter adventure is also a skilled photographer. He uses digital photography and Photoshop software to create quality fishing memories for every customer, hence his company's name, Catch A Memory Charters. Whether your catch only makes it to dinnertime or you are a “catch and release” angler, this charter service is the right choice. Plus, your family gets a great 5x7 photo memory with your special catch… for free!

The top priority of the captain is the safety of his customers. Captain Jim avoids fishing on days with rough seas by reserving consecutive dates for each charter. His onboard safety gear exceeds U.S. Coast Guard requirements, and his twin-engine Grady-White is widely recognized as one of the most seaworthy boats in its class. Since his furthest charter trips stay barely within sight of land (on a clear day), the boat is in cell phone or VHF radio range. The American Red Cross has also certified your guide to apply basic first aid and CPR, if needed.

Jim and spouse Bonnie have been married for over 30 years and are proud parents of two great daughters. After a career in management and fishing on weekends, he opted for his dream lifestyle in 2003 and opened
Catch A Memory Charters in his beautiful hometown of Sarasota, Florida.
