We had our two-day Atlantic Red Snapper Season a few weeks ago. The first day we caught 11 in 30 minutes at one spot and kept 3- our 1 fish per person limit- and were done by 7:30. The second day we caught 10 in an hour and fifteen minutes in 3 spots and kept 4, done by 8. Kingfishing has been good. Clients caught this one Saturday. Tarpon are on the beach and at the jetties. Not only is the weather hot, but the fishing is hot.

Recent Red Snapper "Season". We only got 2 days. Caught 11 red snapper in 30 minutes the first day. Took an hour and fifteen minutes to catch 10 the second day. And they're protected!

If the interest isn't offshore the nearshore fishing for red snappers, bonita and sharks has been off the chain!
Inshore things are starting to get scrappy with the warming water. But keeping a rod bent on oversized redfish, trout, jacks, ladyfish and mangrove snapper has proved somewhat easy. But not every spot has been a good one.

The fishing has been good both bottom and trolling. There is still good catches of beeliners, very few seabass and some triggerfish. The kingfish are showing up again with some blackfin tuna and cobia.

They don't call it MAYport for no reason!
Fishing the last few weeks has been off the chain. From inshore to offshore there really isn't anything that isn't biting. Playing the tide weather has been determining the target!

Well it's super spring and it's black drum and speckled trout time. Fishing the St. Johns River and St. Johns River inlet jetty rocks. It's high tide to pull the hardware planers and spoons for a lot of Spanish mackerel which is always good for dads and kids.

The last week was challenging yet rewarding. While there were not any “gimmie” days with a lot of effort and some brain power we ended up putting some nice boxes of fish together with a pile of trophy black drum up to 50 pounds.
Even saw our first kingfish and Mahi of the year. I expect summer fishing to come early after next weeks blow. Meaning kings, cobia and plenty of other tasty critters.

rod I don’t expect to see full fish boxes of great eating.
Spanish mackerel should be showing any day providing great action for kids and family trips. But also a great fall back if the sheepshead trout or redfish are uncooperative.
Skiff trips have been heating up as well focused around the low tide as usual. Redfish bite was very very slow a week or so ago but is recovering nicely.

    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.
