Guided Fishing Trip Locations on Jacksonville

Jacksonville, FL, is a destination for inshore fishing charters. The 310 mile St. Johns River, actually travels north from Central Florida, where it's fed by tributaries filled with freshwater springs.


The river is known for its diverse ecosystems. In Jacksonville there's miles and miles of salt marsh, with a rich variety of fishing opportunities, from the shallow water shell bars to submerging Spartina Grass at a very high tide. The calm backcountry marshes, maybe where you'll be pursuing Redfish, Speckled Sea Trout, Sheepshead, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Mangrove Snapper, and Black Drum and Croaker.


Captain Dave provides expert guidance to navigate the tackle, techniques, and best fishing spots. Whether you’re casting in the calm, shallow flats or exploring the deeper backcountry channels, or Jacksonville’s St. Johns River, and the Mayport Jetties at the inlet. Opportunities for seasoned anglers who can cast spinning tackle, will fare well. There's a similarity to where you fish at home, except the species of fish may be very different. Bass Anglers, always enjoy a light tackle adventure into the salt.


The St. Johns River and nearby marshes are particularly famous for their Redfish and Seatrout fishing, making it a must-visit for those seeking a rewarding fishing experience.


Tides play a big part of our day on the water. They dictate where we will fish, how we will fish and the species we will target. N.E. Florida has 3 seasons; HOT, COMFORTABLE & HOT. With that said, the absolute best inshore/river/marsh fishing is October through May.


When thinking about reserving your charter, please consult Capt. Dave. Contact him via e-mail at: Jettywolf@gmail.com or call 8am-7pm eastern time 904-642-9546 No Texts please.
