Warmer weather is helping our cause! Mix of fish this week, few a slot reds along with trout and ringtails for the frying pan. Some bigger reds in the mix as well! If the weather cooperates, the black sea bass have been biting as well!

The action stayed steady with plenty of black sea bass to keep rods bent, and we also put one red snapper in the boat. Water temperature was 54, still on the cooler side, but the fish were chewing.

Brian Soucy Fernandina Beach, Florida Reported: 2 months ago

Despite some really cold days here in Fernandina Beach, the speckled trout bite was pretty darn good. There were a few days when the temperature was not bad. Fishing in deeper water was the key to getting these fish. We had good catches with plenty of slot-size fish. We ended up fishing in eight to ten feet of water using an adjustable float rig and a live shrimp. With the cold weather behind us, the fishing will kick into high gear.

Fishing has been really good on our nearshore ledges and rock piles. This is the time for big Black Sea bass. Fun action and great eating as the whole family will have fun doing it!

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!

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!

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.
