Jacksonville inshore fishing report

Inshore and backwater fishing is incredible right in the Jacksonville, Amelia island, PonteVedra and Saint Augustine area. Redfish, sea trout, and black drum are schooled up in the back water marshes and creeks here in Northeast Florida. It’s not uncommon to catch 15 to 20 of each species every trip. Expect this action to remain for the next four months. Call, text or email to book your fishing charter.

Jacksonville Beach summertime fishing is on fire.

Jacksonville river and backwater fishing has been outstanding the last few weeks and will stay hot throughout the summer and fall months, especially for big 30 plus pound bull redfish. These trophy bruisers are abundant in the deep channel along the river and inlet.

Jacksonville, St Augustine and Amelia Island inshore fishing report

Summer is here and inshore, backwater and jetty fishing has been heating up. Redfish, trout, black drum and sheepshead have been the main species we are catching. The backwater marsh system along the Intracoastal Waterway from St Augustine to Amelia island are loaded with hard fighting redfish and trout. The St Johns River jetties are holding one of the best tasting fish, Sheepshead.

 Redfish and Trout are schooled up in the creeks and marsh. November to April are the best months for inshore and backwater fishing.Jacksonville, Amelia Island and St Augustine locations will provide double digit numbers of redfish, trout and black drum.

Capt. Ron Schurr has been taking good numbers of heavy sea trout in the lower St. Johns River and the Intracoastal Waterway south to St. Augustine. He recommends anglers work deep drop-offs, points and docks during hard-running tide phases. Lipped diving plugs, Rapala “Skitter Walk” top-water plugs and live mullet take trout. Redfish also are on deep-water ledges and in the Intracoastal.

January 2015 Awesome Time Of Year!!!

Jacksonville Capt. Ron Schurr reports local redfish are schooled in big numbers, and believes next week’s new moon negative tides should have fished stacked in bays off the Intracoastal and along drop-offs of the canal. He’s using 1/4-ounce jigs tipped with mud minnows, and reports the last of falling tides and first of incoming tides have been tops for reds in Hanna Mills and Clapboard creeks off the north side of the St. Johns. Plenty of small black drum are available in deep holes in creek turns, and a few flounder are caught with reds, trout and drum.
