The weather today was atrocious, however the fishing was pretty good. We ended up with around 15 bull reds up to 48 inches long. The large bull redfish are the spawners, which is why they can't be harvested. They all have to be released to live another day and I'm completely ok with it. They are so much fun to catch, great to take a photo with, and send back to the depths to be caught another day. This is the best time of the year to catch these fish so if this looks like something you'd like...

Each Fall the big bull redfish swarm our local waters to spawn. They range from 10-50lbs and are plentiful. This is something specific to Jacksonville and is the best place to target these beasts along the entire east coast. Each year we have hundreds of people travel to fish for these monsters and it doesn't require a trip out into the ocean to fish for them just in case the weather is bad. Join us for a trip and let's make some memories!

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!

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...
