Captain Brian was very knowledgeable about the local waters, and he put us on fish immediately. He was also patient with our two boys, ages 12 and 7.

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.

Great trip. Brian knows the marine ecology, and educated us about the various species caught at various times of the year. Oh, and the fishing was great. We caught enough Whiting for a large family and friends fish fry. Delicious!!

Excellent captain, and we have experienced many. Knew where the fish were and took us to them and we caught them. Enough to feed a family of 8. Knowledgeable, friendly, and not overtalkative, like some.

Late July 2026

From today

Early April 2026

March 2026
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.

Mid February 2026

Despite some really cold days here in Fernandina Beach, the speckled trout bite was pretty darn good. There were a few days when the temperature was not bad. Fishing in deeper water was the key to getting these fish. We had good catches with plenty of slot-size fish. We ended up fishing in eight to ten feet of water using an adjustable float rig and a live shrimp. With the cold weather behind us, the fishing will kick into high gear.
