Jacksonville - Saltwater Fishing Report
Well let's face it, with red snapper, grouper, and beeliners closed, what options do we have this time of year for bottom fishing? Black Sea Bass, Red Porgies, and Triggerfish. We had a little window yesterday for going offshore so me and some of my regular clients headed out to 145 feet for some triggerfish and whatever else bites. We weren't dissapointed with the results. The current was pushing me North and the wind pushing me South, so achoring was unpleasant. With the current constantly changing and the consistent north wind, we pretty much did a controlled drift around where I wanted to fish. We ended pretty well with around 40 gray triggerfish up to 10lbs, 8 queen triggerfish, an 18lb gag, 8lb red grouper, a bunch of 3lb range beeliners, several big red porgies to 4lbs, a yellowtail snapper, and several sharks. We had a lot of fun; I'm ready to go back Thursday. If you want to go, give me a call. 904-502-7408
