The fishing in Jacksonville is pretty hot right now, whether you choose a short day trolling for king mackerel, barracuda, occasional sailfish, cobia, and sharks, OR a longer day going way offshore doing some bottom fishing for vermilion snapper, triggerfish, amberjack, red porgy, mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, etc.. it's a great time to go fishing! Give us a call at 904-362-0608 to get schedule for a trip. Thanks!!    

Red Snapper fishing as we know it is a national disaster thanks to the regulations put in place by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).  The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC) is the office appointed by NOAA to do research, make recommendations on rule implementation based on results. NOAA has the final say on what is finally implemented. Its all smoke. Neither entity has the slightest clue about red snapper populations, or truthfully any fish population...

The bottom fishing on the 10hr and 12hr trips are smoking right now. On Saturday we limited out on vermilion snapper, red porgy, had some nice triggerfish, amberjack, almaco jack, scamp grouper, and some other species like a beautiful silk snapper (yellow eye). Fishing from 135-200 feet with cut bait, squid, live bait such as threadfin herring, spanish sardines, cigar minnows, and grunts!   

Over the past week or so, the kingfish have really shown up in good numbers. On the shorter 4hr and 6hr trips, even the 8hr triops, we've been getting a limit of kingfish on a daily basis. So much fun to see them run so much line off the reel in such a short amount of time. Fish jumping out of the water chasing baits; it doesn't get any better than that. It's very exciting!
