Fishing report from Joe C. in Jacksonville, Florida

01/18/2023 Lane Snapper

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!

Cero and Spanish mackerel bite has been great on the reef and in the nearshore channels. Mangrove and yellow tail bite has stayed consistent. Lane snapper have been on fire but FWC apparently knows that and have put an emergency closure on lane snapper in state gulf water. This is not updated/ reflected on fish rules app. So there has been a lot of confusion and frustration surround the species and legalities. Offshore there are still a few mahi being caught, wahoo bite is great, or just more guys targeting/ posting them. Tuna (blackfin) have started showing up. Live bait is plentiful on the beaches and lots of guys throwing the net. Sabikis on markers have also been filling the livewell.

Bottom fishing has been where it's at past week. Families visiting for the thanksgiving holiday wanted to bring home meat. Scattered sailfish and mahi for those willing to risk a goose egg.

10/15/2022 Lane Snapper, False Albacore

The bite has still been good in October. We have the weekends open for red snapper but it has been hard to catch some of the bigger ones closer to shore. We have been catching other species though. Wahoo and blackfin tuna are supposed to venture in closer to shore this time of year. A few wahoo have been caught by some of my friends just 5-15 miles from the shore. The Destin rodeo is going on through October and many fish have been caught including a giant 300 lb Warsaw grouper! Large schools of bull redfish are starting to gather in the back bay areas. We came up on a school of bull reds crashing the top water and hooked into a 20 pound redfish the other day.
