Fishing in Jacksonville, Florida

Jacksonville is located where the St. Johns River meets the Atlantic Ocean, creating a unique fishery that blends freshwater, brackish, and saltwater environments. The St. Johns River is one of the few northward-flowing rivers in the country and supports both largemouth bass and saltwater species. Offshore, the Atlantic provides excellent bottom fishing and seasonal pelagic runs along the continental shelf.

Fishing Charter FAQ for Jacksonville

What fish can I catch in Jacksonville?
Jacksonville's unique river-to-ocean setting offers tremendous variety. The St. Johns River produces redfish, flounder, black drum, sheepshead, and even largemouth bass upriver. Nearshore trips target king mackerel, cobia, and tarpon around jetties and reefs. Offshore Atlantic trips yield red snapper, grouper, amberjack, mahi-mahi, and wahoo.
When is the best time to go fishing in Jacksonville?
Spring (March-May) kicks off with sheepshead, flounder, and the start of bull redfish runs. Summer (June-September) is best for offshore species including snapper, grouper, and kingfish. Fall brings excellent redfish and flounder action in the river and creeks. Winter is productive for sheepshead around bridge pilings and docks.
Do I need a fishing license for a charter in Jacksonville, FL?
No. Like all of Florida, passengers fishing on a licensed charter boat do not need a personal fishing license. The captain's charter license covers everyone on board for both freshwater and saltwater fishing.
