Discovering Home
with Haley & Jeremy Scott Founders of Ponce Inlet Fishing Charter Network
Nestled in the heart of Port Orange, Ponce Inlet Fishing Charter Network was founded by locals Haley & Jeremy Scott in 2021. With a vision of what the Fishing Charter business could look like in the Social Age, they custom built the Facebook group (Ponce Inlet Fishing Charter Network) and media company behind it (Fish Witch Media) to encompass all that is charter fishing in the Ponce Inlet area.
Jeremy, a third generation Port Orange fisherman & seasoned mate (most notably Critter Fleet’s final first mate), spent his entire life fishing in the waters surrounding Ponce Inlet. Growing up here he spent his days shrimping in the river with his Grandfather Michael Scott, floundering at night with his Father Albert Scott, and fishing the flat bridge, Inlet & Riverside with his many friends. His dream has always been to Captain his own boat, starting with the bow-rigged flounder boat he custom built from a shell back in 2019. One day he hopes to be one of the charter boats featured in the group they have built together.
Although Haley did not grow up here, she was born here & returned 10 years ago to discover her true home and reconnect with family. Her father, Robert (Bobby K) Kiecksee, was a skilled boat mechanic and restaurant manager (The Oyster Pub). He spent his life putting down roots here, enjoying the outdoors, fishing, and surfing in Ponce Inlet. Returning home Haley found a deep love for the ocean as it offers her a closer connection to her father, who passed away in 2019. For years Haley managed & maintained her own news website, and has always had an interest in covering local events. She has her mother Katrina to thank for that, as she grew up watching her do promotional work for local events. Katrina (Rock-Pit Tina) was also one of the first Music Video Jockeys in NJ for Hit Records TV, before the birth of MTV.
Given the pairs long family history in the area, they plan on staying & raising their family in Port Orange. They have four children; an eldest daughter named Julia, their oldest son Tristan, and identical twin boys River & Dexter. Through their passion and hard work they hope to inspire the same love for fishing & boating in their children, and in the future generations to come.
Both Haley & Jeremy invite you to check out what they have spent the last year building, and to help them expand the idea to a larger audience base locally. Tailor fitting the idea to the many Captains & fishing enthusiasts in the area, they hope to help everyone stay better connected in the new age of fishing by bringing all necessary information to one convenient location.
