He moved to Sarasota in 1986 and earned his United States Coast Guard "Masters" license (# USA000332878) in 1991. He has been guiding clients in Sarasota ever since! Currently, Capt Jim Klopfer runs his charters out of a 22' Stott Craft bay boat.

He has written for GAFF Magazine, Florida Sport Fishing Magazine, Gulf Coast Fisherman, Woods-N-Waters, and other publications. Capt Jim writes a monthly fishing forecast for the Siesta Sand newspaper.

All Sarasota fishing charters include everything the anglers needs; tackle, bait, licenses, ice, water, etc. Capt Jim is a proponent of catch and release, but will fillet and bag a few fish for a meal if desired.
