Jacksonville - Saltwater Fishing Report
T-I-D-E-S, no they certainly don't have them in Kansas, Todo.
But we do in Saltwater. And out of the (3) bodies of Saltwater, the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Gulf of Mexico.
Jacksonville to Amelia Island, Florida being on the Atlantic coast. Being the furthest North area on the east coast of Florida. We have tides.
THEY DO MATTER!
Any good fishing guide should know these tides inside and out and know them better than his own back yard.
BUT, you have no idea about the tides. You're from Kansas. You have ONE day, from 10am-2pm to get out and fish with your co-worker, while visiting J-ville to repair a Thingamajig, over at the Acme ABC plant.
It's your first time in sunny Florida. And you want anything from a Blue Marlin to a giant Snook, like you saw on ESPN outdoors TV.
You call, and I tell you "I inshore fish". You have no idea what that is!
I explain, that I fish the river and specialize at the inlet where the river goes into the Atlantic Ocean.
No long boat rides are guarenteed! And we'll be "light tackle fishing".....Again, you have no idea what that means.
I explain, "we'll be using tackle, just like a freshwater fisherman." Not big clumbsy reels and heavy rods."
And then you tell me you want to target Marlin and Snook.
And I'll explain, that we'll be targeting neither. And each one is totally different than the other, and Snook in N.E. Florida doesn't happen much, and Marlin are best suited for your next trip to Mexico.
You have 10am-2pm to actually fish.
The tides would be perfection for a 7am departure.
BUT, I'm a tide master. Although I'm not getting the perfect time of day. With my knowledge, the reason you're hiring me. I'll work with it.
Take the day at face value, the no long boat ride needed, and the fact that no matter what
....this will be all NEW to you!
Go experience, the experience of it all.
It's February. You're probably "NOT" doing much fishing in Feb. back in Kansas.
We'll be using the light tackle, so about every bite and fish will be F-U-N!
Reservations are super easy. You can do it all on your "smart phone", and then read directions to the dock where I'll meet you.
I'll provide you with everything "fishing".
And afterwards if you have time. You can even have a late lunch with your fishing partner, and "eat your catch of the day".
Care of a restaurant, within walking distance from the dock, where they'll fry-up your catch for you for cheap!
FUN-FUN-FUN, you'll have a great time!
Jacksonville Fishing Forecast:
RIGHT NOW.....this is so UN-winter like Weather!

You may need a sweatshirt or jacket in the morning. But by afternoon you'll be so glad to be out on the water.
It's been beautiful almost every day!!
