With water temps dropping sub 65* action in the main river has slowed to primarily trout with sheepshead available on nice days which are far and few between.
Water temps dropping doesn't mean slow fishing all the time though, in fact it's at its best in Jacksonville when it's cold.
The best option for cold weather is 2 person flats boat trips. While the redfish limit has dropped to 1 per person in the last couple months it's reared it's head with an incredible bite from schools feeling way less pressure.
Offshore when fishable is absolutely on fire. Lots of nice catches bottom fishing and great Tuna and wahoo trolling on the 10/12 hour trips. Right now until spring is a great time for the 4/6 hour trips to seabass fish with the great possibility to get lucky on a 4 hour trip gag grouper as they push in shallow with cool weather.
Bonus pic of a super rare catch for us a small Warsaw grouper while Seabass fishing. Let's get out and fish!

Sheepshead bite has remained world class the last couple weeks. Limits in less than a few hours on this weeks trip.
Overall I expect the bite to stay good through November until water temps drop below 65ish.
With some nasty wind coming next week it looks like downtime for the
fleet but after the blow expect shallow water redfish to start their winter time chew.
Offshore expect cobia to fire up on the wrecks as the water temps get into the happy low 70s.
All day 10/12 hour trips should yeild plenty of Triggerfish, vermillion snapper, mutton snapper, mangrove snapper and many many more.

I made one trip offshore catching mostly red snapper, lots of seabass (mostly shorts) and a few ring tail porgie. They had a great time bending the rods!

    Captain Bill was good. We did order an inshore trip be he wanted to go offshore. Minimal bait. Had 2 small bags of squid then we used cut bait from what we caught. Most fish were not keepers but did reel in a bunch of fish. One amberjack. Kept a lot of fish for his dog.

    Frank was the best captain! He has great knowledge of the area and offers many different fishing experiences. He was also very encouraging and helpful when reeling in our monster of a fish! We definitely plan on taking another trip with him as our captain soon!

    Trip: Nearshore Kingfish Special

  • ★★★★★
    We have been on a few charters, but this one was, by far, the best! Joe was AMAZING in every way. We caught so many fish, despite the season being a bit behind, (which he was very upfront about), he was personable, kind, friendly, knowledgeable, fun, entertaining - literally everything you could want or need in a guide. We will not choose any other guide whenever we are here - which is every 3 months due to our Mayo visits. As some may know, Mayo can be exhausting and stressful, but after our appointments, our time spent with Joe out fishing, honestly made all of the stress, worries, and cares disappear. I could not recommend him enough!!
