Background
I grew up in Jacksonville and fell in love with fishing in college. I spent most of my time working on charter boats fishing and learning how to share my passion with others on my own boat.
Techniques
My style of fishing is based on what species of fish is biting the best for that time of the year. Whether it’s fishing the jetties, shallow creeks, or off the beach I am willing to adapt my style to catch more fish.

Fall Sheepshead
Fall Sheepshead
Dec 5, 2025 Jacksonville
Over the weekend we were able to land several quality Sheepshead in a short afternoon outing. We used fiddler crabs and fished an outgoing tide. Between jetties and docks we picked away at our fish never finding a wide open bite but instead found a consistent catch with a few fish on each spot. Included in our catch were several other smaller sheepshead that were released.

As we roll into Thanksgiving the fishing had continued to stay great. The redfish and Sheepshead have consistently been biting on various tides depending on location. We have been able to catch our fosh using a combination of live shrimp and fiddler crabs. On our inshore trips I use light tackle running 15-20lb test braid and flourocarbon to increase our chances of a bite as well as to make the fight more fun. Water temps are dropping but the bite is heating up.

Here are a few pictures from recent trips over the last several weeks! We have had a blast so far this fall and are excited to keep up the catching. From Redfish to Sheepshead the inshore action has been great. We have been using a micture if live finger mullet, shrimp, and cut bait to entice a bite. If youre looking to get in on the best time of year to fish the next two months are gonna be great.
