The fishing has been good both bottom and trolling. There is still good catches of beeliners, very few seabass and some triggerfish. The kingfish are showing up again with some blackfin tuna and cobia.

They don't call it MAYport for no reason!
Fishing the last few weeks has been off the chain. From inshore to offshore there really isn't anything that isn't biting. Playing the tide weather has been determining the target!

Well it's super spring and it's black drum and speckled trout time. Fishing the St. Johns River and St. Johns River inlet jetty rocks. It's high tide to pull the hardware planers and spoons for a lot of Spanish mackerel which is always good for dads and kids.

The last week was challenging yet rewarding. While there were not any “gimmie” days with a lot of effort and some brain power we ended up putting some nice boxes of fish together with a pile of trophy black drum up to 50 pounds.
Even saw our first kingfish and Mahi of the year. I expect summer fishing to come early after next weeks blow. Meaning kings, cobia and plenty of other tasty critters.
While inshore has been booking hot, day by day I can feel it getting less quality bites and more “junk fish” while great to bend a...

rod I don’t expect to see full fish boxes of great eating.
Spanish mackerel should be showing any day providing great action for kids and family trips. But also a great fall back if the sheepshead trout or redfish are uncooperative.
Skiff trips have been heating up as well focused around the low tide as usual. Redfish bite was very very slow a week or so ago but is recovering nicely.

spring has sprung in Jacksonville Florida 100%
Spanish mackerel have arrived and they are the spring marker
my bird feeder is covered up with Robin Red breasts migrating North.
there’s plenty of action at the inlet even had our first encounter with 100 lb black tip shark behind the boat
there’s plenty of action for everyone no matter your skill level
a very short boat ride to the inlet on a calm wind day could see everything from Big whiting bull redfish black drum Spanish mackerel bluefish and even sharks already

Bite continues to heat up with climbing water temps. Flounder bite has been pretty consistent with decent fish in the 2-3lb range. Some triple tails are showing up in the river. Big, oversized redfish and some larger black drum have also been showing up regularly in good numbers.

With water temps back up into the 60's fish are turning in the feed bag once again . Finding big schools of redfish in the intracoastal waterway that can be targeted with both artificial and live bait . Black drum are showing up in good number with some being over 20 lbs . Trout are still feeding well on the tops and bottoms of the tide . Sheepshead have been a good bet around structure and jetties as well.

    Trip: Offshore Hook-Up

    We had an incredible fishing trip today with Elio! He went above and beyond to make sure my boys had an unforgettable time. From spotting dolphins to catching sharks and landing some absolute monsters, every moment was exciting. One of the highlights was letting my son throw the cast net. He had so much fun bringing in a ton of bait, and Elio made him feel like part of the crew. It was an experience my boys will be talking about for a long time. Elio truly knows how to make a fishing trip fun for the whole family. We would absolutely book another trip with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing day on the water!

    I cannot recommend Captain Dan highly enough. We booked him to take us out on the water to spread my mom and dad's ashes, and he made a very emotional day so much easier. He had absolutely everything we needed ready to go. His communication was outstanding leading up to the trip, during the day, and even checking in afterward. He took incredibly good care of our family and provided amazing support throughout the entire experience. To top it all off, he took some fantastic photos that we will cherish forever. Thank you, Captain Dan, for your professionalism and kindness!

    Captain Jon was great. He was very knowledgeable of the area and where to go to find the best fishing. He communicates very well and was willing to work with us on the boat ram location due to a fishing tournament during the same time as our charter. He kept us informed and taught tips and tricks to help throughout our time with him. Next time we are in Jacksonville we will be looking him up again.
