Inshore/nearshore report Jacksonville area waters - The fishing has been hot at the jetties and along the beach. One afternoon we caught 19 reds, and 18 were oversize.

Grinding Away!!! - The larger Trout have been hard to come by for me lately. Usually if we don't get a lot rain this time of year the Trout will move up the river with all the salt water. We have had enough rain I think. Also some of my spots up river are not producing more...
