What's biting with Semper Fi Charters in Fernandina Beach
Jetty fishing stays strong, with huge bull Redfish and Shark species on offer. Hardcore anglers should come visit for the chance to battle the last of the Tarpon – don't miss your chance to hook the 'Silver King!'

Sept Fishing Report
Sep 1, 2026 • Fernandina Beach
Sept 2026
It has been an excellent month for fishing. The jetties were still holding plenty of Tarpon and big redfish. The flounder bite was great with plenty of keepers, the bait of choice was a finger mullet. We were also fishing quite a bit in the backwater with great catches of slot Redfish and Speckled Trout along with Black Drum and Flounder. There were plenty of trout in the upper slot along with quite a few that were over 19 inches. As the water starts to cool the fishing is only going to get better.

March 2026
Mar 18, 2026 • Fernandina Beach
This past week we had some spectacular two-hour trips with the younger crowd. Lots of action with some good whiting catches which is great for the dinner table. Had quite a few in the fourteen-to-sixteen-inch range. The backwater trips produced some nice redfish and speckled trout. Most were caught using a live shrimp under a cork. The redfish were in the one-to-four-foot range with the trout being caught anywhere from four feet to 10 feet. There are still the big black drum around with bull redfish being caught at the jetties, when it's not rough.

Fishing Report October 2025
The fishing was on fire for the month of October. The water cooled down in the high sixties, and the fish responded. Plenty of Speckled Trout and Black Drum, Redfish were to be had. Lots of slot fish for the dinner table. Live shrimp was the primary bait fished under a cork anywhere from two feet deep to eight feet deep. Oysterbeds and runouts were productive. The jetties some really nice Bull Redfish with cut Whiting being used as bait.

Fishing Report Week of 5 May 2025
The backwater bite has been really great these past few weeks. Catching plenty of Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum. There were some mornings that we had a high tide first thing and the topwater bite has been awsome. The plug of choice was a 3 1/8 inch Skitterwalk. Live shrimp on a cork has worked well fishing over oysterbars and rocks. Also been using live shrimp on a ¼ ounce jighead around docks for Redfish and Black Drum. Catching plenty of Whiting in the 20 to 30 foot range using shrimp and Fishbites.

Despite Cold Weather
Jan 15, 2025 • Fernandina Beach
Despite the weather being alittle chilly on some days the fishing has been pretty good. We have been getting some really nice redfish and speckled trout. On the days the weather was not freezing and we were able to get on the water the fish were willing to bite. Getting live shrimp has been challangingdue to the water temps, but mud minnows have worked just fine. Using the floating cork over structure has worked well. Also have been using a 1/4 ounce jighead on the bottom aslo produced.

Speckled Trout Fishing Heating Up

Speckled Trout Fishing Heating Up
These past few days on the water has been awsome. The water has cooled down some and the trout are biting. The trips have been getting numbers of 30 and 40 speckled trout with plenty of keepers for the dinner table. Rigging the rods with 10 pound Fins braided line with a slip cork, 20 pound floracarbon leader and a Eagleclaw 1/0 circle sea hook with a live shrimp has been great. The bite has been good on artificial baits too using the Bass Assasson Sea Shad in the lighter colors. There also have been some nice redfish being caught in the mix. Finding the structure such as oyster beds and pilons have been the ticket to getting on these fish.
