The area is also known for the opportunity to catch King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, and Jack Crevalle, especially during the warmer months.

Jacksonville's nearshore fishing is enhanced by its proximity to various structures like reefs, wrecks, and jetties, which provide rich habitats for a variety of marine life.

Its proximity to other popular destinations along the northeast Florida coast, such as Amelia Island and St. Augustine, adds to its appeal as a fishing and vacation destination.

    Not a good trip. Left feeling like a charter took advantage of tourist from out of state. Didn’t fish with li e bait, didn’t have options of fishing spots, and the last spot was refueling dock where boat was refueling while we were fishing. We could have fished off the shore without him at that spot.

    Trip: Half Day/Full Day Offshore Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Great Trip! I’m a seasoned fisherman but, I brought my sister and girlfriend. Captain Dave has two complete polywogs and me. He did a wonderful job educating the ladies on fishing and TOGETHER, they pulled in the largest fish on the trip! Great Time!

    Trip: The Awesome Island Experience!

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Bill delivered a first class experience to a mixed crew of seasoned and novice anglers. He was able to connect with each of us in ways that made the trip memorable and kept all of us actively fishing throughout our six hour trip. I've booked trips across the Gulf Coast, Atlantic Florida, and the Caribbean, and Bill is among the best captains I've chartered. He is a talented and dedicated professional who works hard to put his crew on fish for an excellent value trip.

    David was a great captain! The vibe was perfect for a relaxing, fish catching, four hours that flew by because “Time flys when you are having fun”. Highly recommend!! Our family of four will definitely be booking again.
