Water temp is hovering around 64F. The sheepshead bite and black sea bass is in full swing. We also ran into some bull reds near-shore.

Redfish and speckled sea trout have been active across inshore waters. Redfish are being found along grass lines, oyster bars, and creek mouths, especially on moving water. Live shrimp, mud minnows, and gold spoons have been producing consistent bites, with slot fish making up most of the action.
Speckled sea trout are holding in slightly deeper water near drop-offs and edges, feeding best during low-light periods. Soft plastic paddle tails, shrimp imitations, and suspending plugs worked slowly have been the top producers. Cooler mornings and steady tides have made for reliable fishing overall.

Over the last several weeks we have seen an awesome bite of Sheepshead and Redfish. There have been a lot of upperslot redfish in the 24-27 inch range too. The sheepshead fishing has been steady near the inlets in our area with a wide variety in sizes. Our baits of choice lately have been fiddler crabs, sand fleas, and live Shrimp. I like to mix some cut mullet into the day on key spots to target Redfish. As the New Year begins I am preparing to target the same two species I spoke about above but typically see a few...

As the New Year begins I am preparing to target the same two species I spoke about above but typically see a few other species regularly like Seatrout and black drum. Although some days are cold to us the fish love it here in the winter.

Hooked up on my old school sliding float rig at 12 ft. With live shrimp. Fishing around docks in a lot of current. We've gotten to the boat before, but all four were lost, probably 15 to 20 lb redfish. We ended up leaving there with a bunch of small Mangrove snappers that we didn't keep.
Hit the marsh creeks, and cast live shrimp on jig heads. And finished the day up with a 25-in red fish and a 20 inch redfish

Fishing has been on fire. Clearer water. Schooled up fish. Abnormal amount of tailing on the flats. Recommend throwing small and lighter colored as they can be rather spooky. Maintaining distance from the fish is highly recommended. Prefer clear skies and midday low to take advantage of sight casting.

    I cannot recommend Captain Dan highly enough. We booked him to take us out on the water to spread my mom and dad's ashes, and he made a very emotional day so much easier. He had absolutely everything we needed ready to go. His communication was outstanding leading up to the trip, during the day, and even checking in afterward. He took incredibly good care of our family and provided amazing support throughout the entire experience. To top it all off, he took some fantastic photos that we will cherish forever. Thank you, Captain Dan, for your professionalism and kindness!

    Captain Jon was great. He was very knowledgeable of the area and where to go to find the best fishing. He communicates very well and was willing to work with us on the boat ram location due to a fishing tournament during the same time as our charter. He kept us informed and taught tips and tricks to help throughout our time with him. Next time we are in Jacksonville we will be looking him up again.

    We had a wonderful trip with Captain Dan to lay my mother’s ashes to rest. Dan was very respectful, explained exactly what would happen and made sure the experience would be a beautiful memory for us. I’ll never forget the sight of the flower petals on the water and the dolphins in the background. Dan worked with our schedule to find a new time when the weather didn’t cooperate on our original date. He was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Thank you Dan!
