Legal size redfish are spotty but still in good numbers. With the shrimp run ramping up, it can be a little testy getting a consistent bite. But flounder are starting to show in great numbers- fish are still on the smaller side but great action. Tarpon fishing continues to be...

Tarpon fishing continues to be red hot in northeast Florida with fish ranging from 40 to 100 lbs.
Bull reds are showing in good numbers in the St Johns river as well with the average fish in the 40in range!

The bite has been good early and late. Summer time pattern so get out early or late afternoon just before dark. Coordinate with the tides. Outgoing early and incoming late is best for reds and trout. It's a new moon so the tides will be strong. We've been experiencing low low tides the last few weeks with a west to south west wind that's pushing the water out. Hit the creeks and flats early in the falling tide and you should do well on the reds, drum and flounder.
Shrimp are still the bait of choice but the mullet run will kick off in the next few weeks so expect a shift in baits. Black drum, flounder and trout can be found in deep corners along the creek bends with a strong current on jigheads or circle hooks with a small splitshot .
