Captain Clarke Charters is owned and operated by Jennifer Clarke. Jennifer grew up in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia in a family of avid trout fly fishermen and started fishing at the age of 4. She has stalked bone-fish from the flats of the Seychelles to the shores of the Yucatan. She has caught trout from the rivers of Tierra del Frego to Yellowstone National Park. In any given year she'll land Big Striped Bass from the North Shore of Massachusetts to the southern most waters of the Cheseapeake Bay, Virginia.

She came to Martha's Vineyard in 1994, and settled down in what she calls the fishing equivalent of Nirvana.

Jen learned striper fishing from the top anglers and captains on Martha's Vineyard. She earned her captains license and charters a 30-foot center console named "Femme Fatale" during the season specializing in big bass.
