What to expect on a fishing charter in Jacksonville
Our fishing charters leave from the Michael B. Scanlon Mayport Boat Ramp, right at the mouth of the St. Johns River, so you spend more of your trip fishing and less of it running to the fish. In addition, every trip is private for up to 6 anglers on our 25-foot Proline, with a licensed captain and fishing gear included.
Nearshore and jetty fishing
Fish the St. Johns River jetties and nearshore spots just outside Mayport. As a result, it is a great first charter for families and mixed groups.
Bottom fishing
A full day farther offshore, dropping baits over bottom structure. It is also best for groups who want more time with a line in the water.
Offshore trolling
Our longest trip runs offshore to troll for open-water species. So plan for an early start and a long, rewarding day.
Jacksonville fishing charter seasons and rules
Of course, what bites depends on the season, the water temperature and the weather, so your captain plans each trip around current conditions. Florida sets saltwater seasons, size limits and bag limits through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and your captain follows them on every trip.
What to bring
- Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat
- Closed-toe, non-marking shoes
- Food and drinks for your group
- Motion-sickness medicine if you are prone to seasickness
