Ratings & Reviews Summary in Jacksonville

AI ReviewAI Generated Review Summary

Fishing in Jacksonville, Florida offers diverse opportunities from deep sea adventures to inshore backwater exploration and scenic St. Johns River trips. Anglers target redfish, trout, flounder, kingfish, snapper, grouper, cobia, mahi-mahi, tarpon, and sheepshead across marshes, shallow flats, and offshore waters extending 40+ miles into the Atlantic. Guides consistently demonstrate expertise in finding productive spots even during challenging conditions, working tides strategically and adapting techniques from live bait fishing to fly fishing.

We had an awesome time with Captain Matt on our first deep sea fishing trip out of Jacksonville! He was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. The fishing was exciting, the weather was perfect, and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to deep sea fishing. Just a heads-up for anyone booking the same boat; if nature calls, be ready to use the bucket!

It rained the evening of our trip and the Captain was flexible and took us out the next morning. We enjoyed a two hour trip catching four drum fish in under an hour. We went to a second spot and caught additional fish, including a small shark.
