The big black seabass bite has been very good for the month of February! A few good triggerfish and vermilion snapper have been caught too! Consistent when the wind lays down and we can get out!

Inshore bite has been patchy but Game On has still been catching lots of whiting and yellowmouth trout. Plenty of other species like finetooth sharks and rays have been adding excitement. Tightlines!

Tannic Water Adventures have reported successful sight fishing for redfish, especially during flood tides in grassy areas and low tides around mud flats. The cooler water clarity enhances visibility, making a stealthy approach and the use of finesse presentations, such as soft plastics or live shrimp, particularly effective. As waters continue to warm, redfish are expected to gravitate towards deeper structures and docks. In addition to redfish, other species like black drum, sheepshead, and speckled trout are actively biting. Anglers targeting the jetties with fiddler crabs and live shrimp have reported catching keeper-sized sheepshead, with some individuals weighing up to...

Despite the Cold Weather Despite the weather being alittle chilly on some days the fishing has been pretty good. We have been getting some really nice redfish and speckled trout. On the days the weather was not freezing and we were able to get on the water the fish were willing to bite. Getting live shrimp has been challangingdue to the water temps, but mud minnows have worked just fine. Using the floating cork over structure has worked well. Also have been using a 1/4 ounce jighead on the bottom aslo produced.

As February rolls in, the warming trend is beginning to take effect in Jacksonville, pushing water temperatures up and signaling transitions in fish behavior. With air temperatures creeping into the low 80s°F, anglers should expect an uptick in activity across inshore, nearshore, and offshore waters. Inshore Fishing Redfish – Sight fishing for redfish remains strong, especially on the flood tides in the grass and during the low tide around mud flats. With the water clearing up due to cooler temperatures, a stealthy approach and finesse presentations (like soft plastics or live shrimp) are key. As the water warms, expect more...

Black Sea Bass have moved in to the closer nearshore ledges and reefs. All of this fishing is done inside of 25mi so no need to stay all day as the 6hr trip is perfect. They're very delicious to eat and you'll have plenty of bycatch between gag groupers, red snappers, triggerfish and other bottom dwellers.

Speckled Trout and Redfish have been really good over the last few weeks. The drop in water temperature has turned them on. Live shrimp under float rigs and artificials are both effective.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Experience with Captain Anthony! 100% hands down, we highly recommend Captain Anthony! He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and an all-around great person. As complete beginners on an inshore trip, he helped us catch so many different species of fish, taught us about each one, and made sure we had a fun and successful day on the water. We had an absolute blast and can’t wait to come back again. If you’re looking for a skilled, patient, and genuinely enjoyable captain, book with Captain Anthony—you won’t be disappointed!

    Trip: 4 - 6 Hour Inshore Trip

    Captain Dan took us to scatter our mother's ashes at the beginning of September. He explained how the trip was going to proceed in a clear manner, and, included safety procedures. We felt comfortable and informed as Captain Dan took us to a beautiful spot for our ashes scattering. He allowed us to provide him with music in advance and then played it as we scattered our mother's ashes along the river it was very lovely and touching. Afterwards, he gave us a tour of the area were we watched the dolphins jump and learned a little about the history of the area. Thank you, Captain Dan for your thoughtfulness and making this special time memorable. We would certainly ride with you again.

    The best in the business!! We had the best time with Captain Frank. He was so nice and patient with us. The weather wasn’t great but he adjusted the plan and we still caught lots of fish and had a great time. You would have a hard time finding a better guide in the area. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about fishing and I hope we have the chance to go with him again. We learned a lot from him and I would highly recommend him for anglers of any experience level.

    If you’re looking to have a great time, book with Chris! He and Kathy took excellent care of us on our first deep sea fishing trip. With his guidance on fishing and Kathy’s boat driving, we were able to catch quite a few fish. We will definitely be back!

    Captain Mike took us out a little over a month ago on two boats with Captain Steve running the 2nd boat for our family. These guys did an excellent job of putting us on the fish. Very professional and knowledgeable of the area. Caught several reds, trout, flounder and my daughter was lucky enough to land a tarpon. Would recommend to anyone looking to fill their coolers. Thanks guys for the great time and experience.
