As a Jacksonville native, I have been raised inshore and offshore fishing. First Bite Fishing Charters is now booking inshore and nearshore trips. I have the knowledge and dedication to put you on the Fish. With the weather warming up, this is a great time to book a trip with many different species to target. Redfish, Trout, Sheepshead, Cobia, Kingfish and huge Black Drum are here right now. My passion for fishing will ensure a trip of a lifetime!

    Great morning trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore AM • 3 adults

    Our trip with Captain Austin was outstanding from start to finish. His deep knowledge of the local waters and ability to find the best fishing spots made the day a huge success. We caught 6 redfish, 2 bluefish, a flounder, and several stingrays, and he made the entire experience fun, safe, and memorable. Would definitely go again!

    3 Hour Redfish Trip – Inshore PM • 2 adults

    Captain Austin was really competent in what he was doing. Knew good spots for good fish. He went above and beyond to make sure you caught a fish. Got on 2 mangrove snappers & 2 redfish! Would definitely recommend

    Go Catch FISH

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore AM • 2 adults

    The captain put us on fish immediately. We caught the limit of Red Fish with in 75 minutes of our 7:00 AM start. He worked hard to find speckled trout, but we never had another bite. When I am in the area again, I’ll use him again.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish

    Half Day Trip with Captain Austin

    3 Hour Redfish Trip – Inshore PM • 4 adults • 1 child

    Perfect trip for a family adventure! Thanks Captain Austin for taking us out to multiple spots where we caught a total of 14 fish all together. It was me, my husband and my two girls, ages 13 and 11. We even kept a few and had them all cooked up at the dockside restaurant- was amazing! Captain Austin was so great with the girls and even if you are a first-time adult fisher(person). He supplies everything. You just show up at the dock, easy parking, get on the boat and go! If you want to go the extra mile for a great, family adventure, this one is truly priceless!!!!
