Hot Summer....go deep and big, or don't go. - It's that time of year on the St. Johns River and inlet where ya cannot fish a single shrimp, because of the bait snatchers down on the bottom.
I don't care where you are; a creek, the river, the inlet, the surf.
That shrimp will not last a mi more...

Families love the "Sharkin" trips" - What is sometimes the best thing to do with 4 passengers, and two were kids under 10. When the inshore fishing is fickle in the summer heat?
Well, run & gun fishing behind the shrimp boats comes to MY mind. And to Jacksonville Florida's Steve W more...

Pinnacle of Summer in Jax. - Had a forced break, and it's called the Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament.
I say forced break, because I won't mess with that boat ramp in the morning when this tournament is going on. It's a zoo!
And so is the river during start and fin more...

Summer fishin inshore Jacksonville - Although deep summer in N.E. Florida maybe hot, not all summer seasons on the First Coast are created equal.
Some years, are different than other's. So the challenge is to remain rigidily flexible.
So far this year, we've been in a drought. more...

Jacksonville's. St. Johns River Jetties - 2.5 miles, if you're interested in a fishing trip. Rather than a long boat ride. 2.5 miles puts me right where I like to fish.
MORE time with lines in the water, is what it's all about.
During the summer, when things get really steamy in t more...

Spring has arrived...like a tidal wave. - (EXERPTS FROM MY REPORTS AT: www.captdaves.com)
One after another, 28, 29, 31....I don't know exactly how many we caught. But after awhile, we all kinda agreed that it would be cool to try for something else, for the fish box. Since we did more...

Hot Fishing on the Big Moon in March - 3/18 - THE SUPER MOON!
Mother Nature is one hell of a mysterious thing, that's for sure.
Now, I don't get to go out every charter and do exactly what I'd want to do. Sometimes I have to do what my folks can do. I get kids, I get little kids. more...

IT'S T-ROUT TIME!!!!!!!!! - It's Trout time alrighty.
And even though the first two days of March were like fishing in a Hurricane. And mother nature really didn't want us to catch any Trout.
We pushed on her as hard as we could. Usually the re-opening of Speckled Trout s more...
