If the interest isn't offshore the nearshore fishing for red snappers, bonita and sharks has been off the chain!
Inshore things are starting to get scrappy with the warming water. But keeping a rod bent on oversized redfish, trout, jacks, ladyfish and mangrove snapper has proved somewhat easy. But not every spot has been a good one.

Offshore is on fire. Nice mess of fish for dinner for these guys. Can't stay away from the red snapper, good times.

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

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

    Trip: Spreading Ashes In Saint Augstine

    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.

    Had a great time with Captain Bill! The weather ended up keeping us inshore but he made sure to let us know ahead of time so we could stay flexible. He made sure to find us a few spots where we could get on some fish.

    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.
