Love working with Captain Terry and his team! I send out many corporate groups on fishing excursions with Amelia Angler and they always have a fantastic time. The captains are experienced, with nice boats and equipment. Check out the retail shop for some fun gear as well!
FUN EXCITING DAY!
I enjoyed my third trip on a fishing charter with Mr Terry Lacoss. Mr Lacoss is very educated and knowledgable in the fishing world. Legend of Amelia Island. This is a family owned business with sporting store in downtown historical Amelia Island. We caught three Red fish one huge and trout. Very memorable day. 🏝🎣🐟 🐠🥰

Amelia Angler is by far the best!! I've gone out with Terry Lacoss numerous times with much success, clean boats, very educated about the fish world and how to catch certain fish. Friendliness made for a fun and exciting day.
Amelia Angler- T. D. and Terry Lacoss
I have known and fished both of them for years and have never been disappointed. Both of them are very reputable and deliver a quality product at a good price.
Captain TD fishing trip!
This was easily the best fishing of my life. Not only were we put on the fish but we had a good time. I understand that every time you go out you will not experience the same fishing but I can guarantee anytime you go out with captain TD Lacoss you will have an amazing time and catch many fish. We took a 4 hour inshore fishing trip in late December. It was very foggy and muggy. It seemed as if we might not have a great trip but we ended up catching over 50 fish. Pulling them out left and right. Captain TD was right there too to bait our hooks or tie hooks on if something happened. He was full of information and knew exactly what he was doing. He cares very much about his job and did anything he could to get in as many fish possible. We only had to go to two locations for the fish and tore them up in both spots. If I could I would give this charter even more stars. It was absolutely exceptional.
