The weatherโ€™s been so perfect lately, even the fish are showing off their tans. Blue skies, light breeze, and water so calm itโ€™s like fishing on glass โ€” if glass had redfish, trout, and snook stacked up like theyโ€™re waiting in line for free bait. Light tackleโ€™s been the name of the game, and the rods have been bending more than a yoga class. Every castโ€™s been a gamble between โ€œjust one more fishโ€ and โ€œI really shouldโ€™ve brought more snacks.โ€ If youโ€™ve been waiting for the perfect time to hit the waterโ€ฆ this is it. Bring your sunglasses, your A-game, and maybe a camera โ€” because your buddies are never going to believe this report without proof. - Captain Austin

Fishing Report โ€“ Big Fish Bites!
Fishing Report โ€“ Big Fish Bites!
Sep 18, 2025 Jacksonville
Fishing Report โ€“ Big Fish Bites Are On! ?? The river has been on fire this week with some serious heavyweights hitting the deck. Big redfish have been stacked up and feeding hard, giving anglers drag-pulling battles thatโ€™ll leave your arms burning and your grin ear to ear. Several bulls in the 40+ inch range have been caught and released, and weโ€™ve also been seeing some monster drum mixed in.

The big reds are chewing! ? Massive bull redfish are stacked up right now, giving anglers a serious workout with drag-screaming runs and heavy headshakes. These giants are the definition of power on light tackle, and every hookup feels like a tug-of-war you donโ€™t want to end. If youโ€™re looking for a true St. Johns River trophy catch, nowโ€™s the timeโ€”these brutes are here and hungry. ?? - Captain Austin

? Big Red Fishing Report โ€“ Straight from the Tannic Water Hotline ? Well folks, the big reds are out here acting like theyโ€™ve got a reservation at the dinner table, and guess what? Weโ€™re serving hooks and good company. These fish have been cruising the flats like teenagers at the mallโ€”traveling in packs, showing off, and making questionable life choices. Weโ€™ve had rods bending, reels screaming, and anglers looking like they were auditioning for a strongman competition just to get these brutes to the boat. One guy swore he was only โ€œlightly sweating,โ€ but Iโ€™m pretty sure he lost three pounds of water weight wrestling a redfish that could double as a small submarine. - Captain Austin

Fishing Report ? The big reds have been chewing! Overslot redfish are stacked up on the flats and deep edges, and theyโ€™ve been smashing cut bait and live mullet. Early morning and late evening have been the hot windows, with drag-screaming runs and plenty of sore arms to go around. If youโ€™re looking for a trophy red, nowโ€™s the timeโ€”these big bronze backs are fired up and hungry. - Captain Austin
