About Captain
Jeremy Jones
Captain Jeremy Jones
was born and raised in Palm Beach County, Florida and has lived
in Florida most of his life. He grew up on a canal in North
Palm Beach and started fishing with his father as soon as he
could hold a pole, which was almost before he started walking.
Some kids play with toys, Captain Jeremy's favorite was a 6ft
casting rod.
He owned
his first boat by the time he was eight years old and has owned
one ever since. While friends in high school were
modifying cars and building hot-rods, Captain Jeremy was
building bait wells, saving for out-riggers and exploring local
canals with every free moment of his time.
Living
in Florida, Captain Jeremy has seen the changing environment but
still feels that he lives in a true paradise and is constantly
reminded of this every time he's out on the water.
Captain
Jeremy has always managed to live close to the water and spend
most of his free time in it, under it or on it. Even when
moving to Tampa to attend college at the University of South
Florida, one of his boats was towed behind his car and
docked at a marina in Bradenton.
Fishing
Tampa Bay and the grouper holes off the coast helped him keep
focused during school. While attending school he and his roommate purchase an old Chris Craft Roamer and lived on the
boat at Anna-Maria Island Marina.
After
college he met his wife, sold the Chris Craft Roamer and moved to Key West.
While
living in Key West for four years he was able to enhance his
fishing skills and was out on or in the water daily.
Although leaving the Keys was
difficult, Captain Jeremy enjoys fishing off of Palm Beach again
where he and his family now make their home in Jupiter, Florida.
Captain
Jeremy reflected in a recent interview, "We
have such a unique opportunity with the reef right off shore and
the ever-changing Gulf Stream only a few more miles further.
It creates the perfect marine environment for some of the
greatest fishing in the world."
Captain
Jeremy Jones holds a United States Coast Guard 25-ton master
license with a commercial assistance towing endorsement.
He is also Certified in CPR.
