Fishing Report In Jacksonville 

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.
