Fishing Know-How

Alright, let's talk fishing. We'll be using a mix of techniques to maximize our chances of landing some big ones. Depending on where the fish are biting, we might do some drift fishing, bottom fishing, or even some sight casting if conditions are right. We've got all the gear you'll need - top-notch rods, reels, and bait. But here's a pro tip: bring a light jacket, even if it's warm. The weather can change quick out there, and you'll want to stay comfortable all day long. Oh, and don't forget to bring a camera. You'll want proof when you're telling your buddies about the monster you caught!

Fish You'll Want to Hook

Let's talk about what's swimming around out there. We've got some real beauties in these waters, and each one's got its own personality. First up, the Southern Flounder. These flat fish are masters of camouflage, blending right into the sandy bottom. They might not look like much, but they put up a good fight and taste amazing. Best time to catch 'em? Fall, when they're getting ready to migrate.

Next, we've got the Black Drum. These guys are the drummers of the sea - they make a croaking sound that you can actually hear! They can get huge, too. We're talking up to 90 pounds for the big ones. Spring and fall are prime time for Black Drum, and they'll test your strength when you're reeling them in.

Now, let's not forget about the Sea Trout. These silvery fish are a favorite among anglers because they're just so much fun to catch. They're quick, they're feisty, and they'll hit your bait hard. We catch them year-round, but fall is when they really start to get active.

Last but definitely not least, there's the Redfish. Also known as Red Drum, these copper-colored beauties are what a lot of folks come here for. They've got a distinctive black spot near their tail, and they put up one heck of a fight. Fall is the golden season for Redfish, but we catch them all year. When you hook a big one, you'll know why they're so popular!

Time to Get Your Line Wet

Alright, folks, let's wrap this up. A full day of fishing in Jacksonville Beach is more than just catching fish - it's about the whole experience. The thrill of the catch, the stories you'll tell, and the memories you'll make. Whether you're looking to land your personal best or just enjoy a day on the water with family and friends, we've got you covered. Our trips are filling up fast, so don't wait too long to book your spot. Give us a call, and let's get you out on the water. Trust me, once you've fished with us, you'll be hooked for life!

Learn more about the species

Black Drum

Black Drum are the heavyweight champions of the drum family, packing a punch at 5-30 pounds, with some monsters hitting 90 pounds. These big boys love hanging out in brackish waters, especially around oyster beds and mudflats. You'll hear 'em before you see 'em – they make a distinctive croaking sound that's music to an angler's ears. Spring's the best time to target them, when they school up for spawning. Folks get a kick out of fishing for Black Drum because of their strong fight and the variety of habitats they're found in, from shallow creeks to deeper channels. For the best eating, aim for the smaller ones under 15 pounds – they're sweeter and more tender. Pro tip: use fresh crab for bait. It's like candy to these fish, and it tends to stay on the hook better than other options. Just remember to fish it slow and on the bottom where these bruisers feed.

Redfish

Redfish, or Red Drum, are the rockstars of our local waters. These copper-colored bruisers, sporting a signature black spot near their tail, typically run 28-33 inches but can grow much bigger. You'll find them tailing in super shallow water, sometimes with their backs out of the water! They love hanging around oyster bars, grass flats, and mangroves. Fall is prime time when they school up for their spawn. Anglers can't get enough of Redfish for their powerful runs and delicious, mild-flavored meat. They'll hit just about anything when they're feeding, from live bait to artificial lures. Here's a local secret: on calm days, look for pushing water or "nervous" bait fish. That's often a sign of Redfish on the hunt. When you hook one, be ready for a fight – these fish can turn on a dime and make blistering runs. It's an experience you won't forget!

Sea Trout

Sea Trout, also called Speckled Trout, are a favorite around here. These silvery beauties usually run 14-24 inches and put up a great fight for their size. You'll find them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They love hanging around structure, so look for them near docks, bridges, and oyster bars. Fall and winter are prime times when they school up in deeper holes. Anglers go crazy for Sea Trout because they're not just fun to catch, but they're also delicious on the plate. Their soft, white meat is a local delicacy. To hook one, try using artificial lures like jerk baits or topwater plugs. Here's a tip from the locals: when the water's cool, slow down your retrieve. These fish get a bit sluggish and won't chase fast-moving baits. A slow, twitching motion often does the trick. Remember, they've got soft mouths, so set the hook gently to avoid tearing it.

Southern Flounder

Southern Flounder are masters of disguise, blending into sandy or muddy bottoms with both eyes on their left side. They typically range from 15-18 inches but can grow up to a hefty 20 pounds. You'll find these flatfish in coastal waters, bays, and estuaries, often lurking in depths under 100 feet. Spring and fall are prime seasons, as they move between inshore and offshore waters. Anglers love targeting flounder for their delicate, white meat and the challenge of hooking these ambush predators. To land one, try drifting or still fishing with live bait like mullet or shrimp. Here's a local trick: when you feel a bite, don't set the hook right away. Give the flounder a few seconds to fully take the bait, then reel in slowly to avoid pulling it out of their mouth. It's a game of patience, but the reward is well worth it.
