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

Bite continues to heat up with climbing water temps. Flounder bite has been pretty consistent with decent fish in the 2-3lb range. Some triple tails are showing up in the river. Big, oversized redfish and some larger black drum have also been showing up regularly in good numbers.

With water temps back up into the 60's fish are turning in the feed bag once again . Finding big schools of redfish in the intracoastal waterway that can be targeted with both artificial and live bait . Black drum are showing up in good number with some being over 20 lbs . Trout are still feeding well on the tops and bottoms of the tide . Sheepshead have been a good bet around structure and jetties as well.

The fishing has been good nice seabass, beeliners and some nice triggerfish. Even had a nice 28 inch gag grouper and of course they are closed right now. Weather just won't cooperate for much offshore fishing right now. Made a couple of trips recently and one was real good the other got shortened due to 3 cases of the sea flu.

Week of 1/15 has been a great one. Lots of black seabass and ringtail porgies on the 4 hour trips. Recently the shallow triggers and beeliners haven't been cooperating but nothing to be mad about as Black Sea bass offer world class eating!
For the 6/8 hour offshore trips cobia fishing was world class with one 6 hour trip boasting double digit fish including a tagged 30+ pounder. The fish was originally caught in South Carolina at 32" overall in 2019 and recaptured 1200 days and nearly 300 miles away at 42" fork length.

Inshore the fish have been steady
with some days better than others. On the low tide mid day trips sightfishing has been the name of the game. With a low tide in the morning targeting holes has been the money.
Winter fishing is in full swing! Let's goooo fishin!

Inshore fishing has been awesome in the skiff. With cooling water fish have been stacked up in their usual winter time haunts. Black drum now moving with the schools of reds too for some bonus catches. Offshore black seabass fishing is off the chain on the short 4/6 hour trips. Mixed with vermillion snapper and triggerfish. On the extended 10/12 hour trips trigger fish is the name of the game for meat haul. If the goal is hero or 0 lots of big wahoos have been hitting the deck with the cold weather.

    It was a good day with Brian! He took us to lots of spots with lots of fish. And he was especially helpful in re-baiting hooks and giving instruction on how to best use the gear and tackle.

    Trip: The Awesome Island Experience!

  • ★★★★★
    Scheduled a trip and a storm was blowing in on the day of the trip and Captain James reached out and rescheduled with a day that worked perfect for my family. On the new day it was really choppy and we thought we was just going to have to fish close to shore but then it calmed down and we got to go out deep. Very first fish we caught was a sail fin fish I always dreamed of catching then we caught 2 barricade and a king fish. We hooked what looked like a great white shark that we fought for over 2 hours and it jumped out of the water and broke the line but it was huge biggest shark I ever seen in person and I live in Florida! Overall the trip was a great day with an experienced and friendly Captain and Mate that even helped our 8 year old fight t he shark for 15 minutes building a memory he would never forget! I will book all future trips with Captain James Walker. Great Captain and great man I could not have asked for anyone better than him and his first mate (his son also). If you want a memorable trip tell them what you want and they will do thier best to make it happen! Thank you Captain James for some awesome memories!

    This was the absolute best charter we have ever taken! You need to book with Captain Kenny and his first mate Matt. Captain Kenny’s knowledge, skill and experience as a competitive angler were invaluable! He and Matt were also extremely helpful and instructive so you were cared for that no matter what your skill level! We are already looking to book our next trip with Captain Kenny!

    Trip: Nearshore Kingfish Special

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Stephen delivered an exceptional saltwater fishing experience in NE Florida. To begin he worked with us over several days to maximize our best fishing trip morning - he was super communicative and vigilant. His command of the local waters, the species we’d be targeting, and the conditions we were navigating was impressive. He didn’t just guide the trip — he taught us. From fish behavior to the wildlife we encountered along the way, he turned the entire outing into a masterclass on the ecosystem. 10/10 recommend Captain Stephen for anyone looking for a top‑tier day on the water.
