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 youth. 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 adventure is also a skilled photographer. He uses
digital photography and software to create quality fishing memories
for every customer, hence his company's name, Catch
A Memory Charters. You get a great 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 or inclement weather... Every
customer has a backup date. His Grady-White boat is Gulf seaworthy
with twin engines. Onboard safety gear exceeds Coast Guard requirements.
The boat is always within cell phone or VHF radio range since we
fish within sight of land. 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.
