Fishing Report Week of 5 May 2025
Fishing Report Week of 5 May 2025
May 5, 2025 Fernandina Beach
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 ยผ 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
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
Nov 10, 2024 Fernandina Beach
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.

Bullredfish are Biting
Bullredfish are Biting
Sep 23, 2024 Fernandina Beach
Fishing Report for September 2024 Despite all the rain we had here in Florida the fishing has beeen great. The bull redfish have been on a pretty good feeding frenzy. The action has been good at the jetty and in the Amelia river system. The larger mullet have been found in good numbers, which is has been the bait of choice. The setup has been a 7 foot rod and a 6500 Penn reel or a 6000 Florida Fishing Products reel loaded with 65 lb Fins braid. A 4 foot 60 lb leader with a 7/0 Kahle hook. Cut the mullet in chunks and we are fishing in 18 to 30 feet of water. The speckled trout are also hitting good. If you can find the finger mullet it has been doing well or live shrimp on a cork setup has worked well. We are also getting some nice flounder on our trips.

Fishing June 2024
Jun 1, 2024 Fernandina Beach
The fishing has been pretty darn good for the month of June. The tarpon have showed up, but not in great numbers yet. Bull reds have been in and around the jetties. We had a week of winds blowing out of the NE which put a damper on things, but that just meant that we stayed back in the river. Had some good catches of Speckled trout and Flounder. Plenty of Mangrove snapper that were good size for the dinner table. Had quite a few redfish mixed in.
