Fished with Jason and Junior a couple times now, and have had a blast! Caught fish each time, and had fillets to take home. A top notch outfit, with experience and professionalism. Definitely recommend!

Fishing with Captain Jason is the best way to spend a summer or winter morning. He knows the Cedar Key waters better than anyone. We've been going fishing with Capt. Jason for a few years now and always come back with a nice haul of fish, from trout to perch to flounder. Captain Jason is great with anglers of all experience and age levels and always shows us a good time and the best fishing spots. He guts and cleans the fish for you too!

120% hands down, best charter out of Cedar Key. I have booked with In the Slot fishing charters twice now and have had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Junior. Always putting us on fish and filling the coolers. Captain Junior has inspired me to explore the Florida fisheries and get into kayak fishing. In the Slot is also flexible and will meet out of Steinhatchee to charter into the flats. If you want to book a fishing charter in Florida, you got to go with these guys!

He was a phenomenal captain, gave us amazing instructions to catch our targeted species and even though we didnt limit out on trout we still were catching fish non stop. I will definitely be back to fish with in the slot fishing, and will bring more customers yalls way cause yall are great people and even better captains. God bless yall and tight lines

Fantastic experience with Captain Jason at In The Slot Fishing out of Cedar Key, Florida. We were fortunate enough to get a last minute slot with him in October of 2021, and my husband and I had the trip of a lifetime! Not only is Jason a very knowledgeably guide, but he is funny, and easy to be around. He was patient, and helpful if we needed it. And the best part? It was a picture perfect day on the Keys, and we limited out on Speckled Sea Trout in the first hour and a half, and even landed some gator trout! If you can fish with Jason, you will not be disappointed. We will be back if we are ever
