Jacksonville - Saltwater Fishing Report
As I sit here, I just finished talking to a buddy in N. Texas and he's gonna get SLAM dunked with a winter storm.
-SNOW
-ICE
-50 MPH WINDS
In Texas???
Oh well. He's a trek and a half from the Gulf of Mexico anyway. So jumpin' in the boat and heading out to fish is not his greatest concern, any how.
But, it's MINE.
I'm 5 minutes from the boat ramp, 3 minutes from the bait shop.
You call me. And I'm there!
It's as if 50% of my entire business in late notices. Not that I always care for it. But if you can lay down the deposit. I'm your GUIDE.
This is my J-O-B. And besides doing my fishing reports blog daily. It's what I've been doing for the past 15 years. So, I guess you could say I've designed even where I live around fishing charters.
Winter Wonderland, N.E. Florida?????
Yep. BecauseI can drop the boat in, go a mile and a half. Anchor up. And catch fish all day long. Using no live baits. No casting Lures. Use the lighest of tackle.
It's what I refer too as Winter K.I.S.S fishin'. AND I LOVE IT!
Do the same exact thing in June or July. And you'll fight bait-stealers all day long. Crowds of other boaters, Jet-ski's, and maybe catch a decent sized fish.
SO YEAH...IT'S A WINTER WONDERLAND!
What are the HOT species right now?
-Black Drum, the Redfishes ugly cousins are chewin. From 10 inchers to 10 pounders.
-Sheepshead, they're getting larger each week as we get closer to their spawning time.
Throw in a Speckled Trout, Yellowmouth Trout (weakfish), a Redfish or two. Seabass, a Sand Trout, and you'll have a full day of winter fishing FUN.
And my guarantee is, "No long boat rides" ever!
-Want proof? (even a six year old can whoop up on them)
