Nearshore Report Thursday, May 21
Ran about 8 miles offshore Thursday and found clean water with temps around 78°F. The kingfish are definitely showing up and the Spanish mackerel bite was solid with good numbers around.If the weather stays decent, the fishing should only keep getting better over the next few weeks

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.

    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.
