There are also two live wells loaded with fresh bait to make sure you're fully equipped for your trip. Captain Robert's charters will take you to some of the best fishing spots in the Jacksonville area. You'll explore the Intracoastal waters and jetties, as well as hard bottom wrecks and ledges where the fish are abundant.

On longer trips, you might also reel in Red Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Jack Crevalle, and King Mackerel. All the equipment you need for your trip will be provided, including rods, reels, and tackle. And at the end of the day, Captain Robert will carefully clean and fillet your catch so you can enjoy a delicious meal when you return home.

Black Sea Bass

Jacksonville Fishing Report

As a fishing guide with years of experience, I had the pleasure of taking clients on a fishing trip in Jacksonville last January. We had great success catching Black Sea Bass, which were in season at the time. The fishing conditions were favorable and we were able to reel in a lot of fish throughout the day.

Looking ahead to this April, I am excited for the start of Barracuda season. These fish can be a thrill to catch, but it's important to take proper safety precautions when handling them due to their sharp teeth. As always, I will make sure to provide my clients with the necessary gear and guidance to ensure a safe and successful fishing trip.
