About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Bill and prepare for an action-packed day of fishing the tides! Nearshore and offshore Jacksonville is a great spot to target some of the biggest fish Florida has to offer.

On this 6 to 8-hour trip, Captain Bill will take you off the coast of Jacksonville where you can expect to target Black Seabass, Flounder, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, and Tarpon in the nearshore, or target some bigger game like or Mahi Mahi, Vermilion Snapper, Cobia, Gray Triggerfish, and Redfish a little bit farther offshore. Captain Bill is a knowledgable guide who is sure to put you where the fish are biting!

To attract these picture-worthy fish you'll be using a variety of fishing techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, jigging. Captain Bill is happy to demonstrate proper fundamentals for these techniques.

Captain Bill fishes aboard a 25’ Contender 24S center console, with a capacity for six people. Powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine, this vessel is sure to get you to where the fish are biting in a hurry. It even has an on-board bathroom!

Captain Bill will provide all rods, reels, tackle and bait. These family-friendly trips can host up to 6 people, so make sure you bring some good company!
