March 2026
This past week we had some spectacular two-hour trips with the younger crowd. Lots of action with some good whiting catches which is great for the dinner table. Had quite a few in the fourteen-to-sixteen-inch range. The backwater trips produced some nice redfish and speckled trout. Most were caught using a live shrimp under a cork. The redfish were in the one-to-four-foot range with the trout being caught anywhere from four feet to 10 feet. There are still the big black drum around with bull redfish being caught at the jetties, when it's not rough.

Redfish bite has been great along with a good amount of sheepshead. As spring comes the Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and sea trout bite will pick up.

Jetty fishing is on FIRE 🔥A lot of 3-4hr trips over the last few weeks. When the weather allows you to go. Last 2 days have been a little slower do to the water clarity, but still great fishing.

What's Biting in Ponte Vedra Beach

★★★★★
Captain Mike was awesome! He was actively watching the weather the week before and staying in touch with us. We decided to move the trip up a day to avoid 3-5 ft seas. We stayed out an extra hour even with the crazy cost of fuel right now. I caught 13 snapper alone and had 2 bites so big they broke the leader line. It felt like the rod was going to be the first to break. My friends loved the trip as well catching probably another 10 between them. We will definitely be back in touch with Captain Mike soon!

Trip: Inshore Charter - 26' World Cat
★★★★★
Great trip. They were fun and we caught fish! I would recommend for sure!

Trip: 4 - 6 Hour Inshore Trip
★★★★★
Not a good trip. Left feeling like a charter took advantage of tourist from out of state. Didn’t fish with li e bait, didn’t have options of fishing spots, and the last spot was refueling dock where boat was refueling while we were fishing. We could have fished off the shore without him at that spot.

My wife and I had a great time with Capt. Mike and will fish with him again the next time we are in the Jacksonville/St. Augustine area. I've already recommended him to a few friends and I'm recommending him to you! :- )

Great Trip! I’m a seasoned fisherman but, I brought my sister and girlfriend. Captain Dave has two complete polywogs and me. He did a wonderful job educating the ladies on fishing and TOGETHER, they pulled in the largest fish on the trip! Great Time!

Trip: St. Augustine Inshore Trip
★★★★★
Captain Bill delivered a first class experience to a mixed crew of seasoned and novice anglers. He was able to connect with each of us in ways that made the trip memorable and kept all of us actively fishing throughout our six hour trip. I've booked trips across the Gulf Coast, Atlantic Florida, and the Caribbean, and Bill is among the best captains I've chartered. He is a talented and dedicated professional who works hard to put his crew on fish for an excellent value trip.
