Jacksonville - Saltwater Fishing Report
12/26- COMING SOON.....
I get so many great comments about this blog. Yes, it's not always just fishing reports. But then again when you come here, you aren't reading some fishing reports from back in April of 2008 like many of my competitors.
But, it's not a competition, anyhow. Because, I couldn't care less what other guides are doing. I know what works, for me. And has been working since 1996. INFORMATION!
Just like my tackle, boat and website. It's all in continual "upgrade". By signing up for these reports, you're part of a data base. You will receive any specials, will receive notices. And have access to this reports blog. And I can track the activities. Wasn't able to do that prior.
"The archives."
Do not know if any readers utilize this part of Google Blogger. The archives for two full years is located on the right side-bar of this page. I look at it all the time. Especially when looking up a past customers trip, that is now coming back for another. I want to know how and what we did the last time they were out with me.
Well, the newest item that'll be coming very soon will be video clips. Video of your charter. Or at least a clip of your charter, if you don't mind....
IF YOU'RE THIS DIE-HARD, AND HARD-UP, I THINK YOU NEED TO CALL ME, AND HEAD TO FLORIDA (904) 642-9546
Is that giant Redbass kicking light tackle BUTT? I want to capture that! How about the smiles of your son or daughter catching their first saltwater fish? Or coming this summer, those big Spinner & Black Tip Sharks behind the shrimp boats, caught on video. And posted here with "your" report and report photos.
REALLY? IS THIS YOUR SEEN ON A MONDAY MORNING?
c'MON ON DOWN
Photo's will still be here. What's a magazine article worth, without photos? Well. that's what I consider this blog to be. An on-line magazine, dedicated to NE Florida fishing.
" Like sands through the hour glass, these are the days of us on the water fishing....."
Plus, now I can throw up a quick impromptu video on a product that you may find interesting or a tackle rigging technique.
I'm so looking forward to providing you as a reader with so much more than you will find anywhere else, and especially anywhere else on another local fishing charter web site.
So stay tuned. It's coming. SIGN UP FOR MY DAILY REPORTS PAGE AT: HTTP://WWW.CAPTDAVES.COM
Please click on the title of any report here, and enter a comment at the bottom, if it so moves you. The "template" I'm using only accepts comments if posted on each reports own URL. And then, is only visible when the report's own URL is on screen.
Thanks, and hope 2011 you'll jump on the Jettywolf with me if you haven't already.

12/23 - Oh it be so....(BIG WINDS FROM NY)
If you didn't see my predictions for today from yesterday. SCROLL DOWN one post.
But heck, ya never know. So you have to try at least. Right?
Yep, my fears of a full blown Noreaster, was present today at the jetties. The Forecast of 20 knots from the due north was dead-azz on.
Had Dave H. and his buddy and his buddies young son aboard. It was freezin out there. And the wind was all to blame.
Twice we tried heading the the big rocks (inlet jetties). First thing this morning on the super flood FULL MOON rising tide. We went straight to the end. But "my gut" was saying to me, "This ain't gonna be good for anyone." So I backed off and headed down river instead.
But momma Nature had other plans for us. It was a K.O.D. day. And what is a K.O.D day?
Kiss O' Death. Meaning a rising kick butt flood tide, with a good 20 knot wind behind it, and a FULL MOON....ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!
A recipe for what I refer to as; the good ole Global River Tour. Because no matter what, ya' just can't find any where that'll give up a bite of any kind.
So we went and looked at the big rocks one mo' time. And as we motored along the shallow part of the inside of the north rocks, Dave says, "we're not heading all the way out to the end again are we?"
I said, "No way!"
Inside the north was solid spray. The jetties were almost gone. Under water. And unless we had scuba suits, there was no anchoring up behind them.
Here's what we saw..... (along the shallows)
Normal, for us in Jacksonville?
Here we are spanking the Trout. Yep, that photo is of a past January!
EARLIER IN THE MONTH, IT WAS KILLER!!
45# REDFISH
BEAUTIFUL JETTY-BLACK DRUM
We'll get a break and get out there, again.
I'll be back at it on the 28th and 29th
Jacksonville Fishing Forecast:
WIGGLE ROOM - as defined as having more than one day to fish.
Yes, it's now mandatory. One day could be not so good, but the day after could be weather perfection.
Florida's on a weather roller coaster, this year!
