I have a prediction for this month…. Lot’s of fisherman calling in sick for work! Why you ask? With the warmer than normal winter and spring we’ve been having this month could be prime time to hit the beaches in search of the “brown bomber”, or cobia as they’re more commonly referred to. Pick a [...]

What a great start to our fall fishing… the weather has been nice and warm and the fish have been chewin! The best bite has come from the redfish as of late. There are a ton of smaller reds in the creek holes right now, especially on the creeks between Mayport and St. Augustine Inlets. [...]

Water temps are on the fall but the fishing is red hot right now…. Flounder fishing is as good as it’s been in as long as I can remember. Most of the bigger “flatties” are coming from in and around the area inlets (Mayport, St. Augustine, Mantanzas). The bait of choice is either a finger [...]

It’s hot out there so beat the heat! Get out at first light for the best inshore bite this month. Just like I’ve said the last couple of months (It’s the summer pattern)… top-water “walk the dog” style plugs as well as “chuggers” will make for some exciting catches. One very important ingredient for catching [...]

It’s time to dust off your top-water lures this month… The water temp will be on the rise and so will the fish’s appetite. “Walk the dog” style plugs as well as poppers will get both trout and redfish’s attention this month. Remember to let the fish get a good hold of the plug before [...]

Get ready for some of the most exciting fishing our area has to offer this month. The water is crystal clear (some areas more than others) and the fish will be schooling up big time. Not only will the redfish be schooled up but the black drum, sheepshead, and trout will be as well.

For most people, November means turkey and stuffing but for us fishermen it’s officially “doormat” month. Traditionally November is a great time to target and catch big flounder. A live finger mullet or a big mud minnow rigged on a jighead or fish-finder rig is your best bet. Flounder will be holding in deep cuts [...]

Trick or treat?.. that is the question this month. A tasty “treat” for almost all of our inshore gamefish this month will be the finger mullet. With copious amounts of mullet around “matching the hatch” can be the way to go. Redfish will be chasing mullet up on the flats but sometimes a mullet head [...]

Hey, its summer time…. get to the beach! This month pogy pods will be just off the beach with predatory fish in hot pursuit. Sharks, cobia, bull reds, spanish and king macs, giant jacks, bluefish, and one of my favorites the silver king, aka tarpon, will all be crashing the pogy pods in an exciting [...]
