I am one of the lucky few to have grown up here on Amelia Island, fishing and shrimping the surrounding waters my entire life. Whether it's float fishing way back up in the oyster bed flats, bottom fishing around the inlets and jetty rocks, or live bait slow trolling out on the reefs, I know these waters very well. I earned my first captains license in 1992, and I have been taking friends, families, and small groups fishing ever since. I have watched small kids grow up into adults, seeing them only one or two weeks a year on their vacations. Kind of neat! Come aboard, you'll see why most of the people who fish with me keep coming year after year.

    What a catch, that captain!!

    3 Hour Trip – Inlet & Jetty Fishing • 2 adults

    We lucked out with Captain Keith. Had a fun time!! He was great. He grew up on the island and was able to throw in some island history for free. It was a great balance of conversation and silence. Loved that. The weather was a little on the chilly side but we prepared for that. Layers and layers. Captain Keith always positioned the boat where the sun on us. For a fisherman, he was impatient with the fish, lol. If they didn't bite within five minutes or so, we were off to another location. And good thing because after moving three times, we hit the jackpot. Caught lots of fish, which he cleaned and filleted for us. It was well worth the time and money; you most likely won't come back empty handed. Would love to go out into deeper waters with him sometime this summer.

    Happy day on the water!

    2 Hour Trip – Kids Charter (PM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    Keith was prompt, personable, knowledgeable, and fun. He was also great with our grandboys 6 & 4 and kept them engaged with the evil eel snake that he was not allowing on board, and the feisty blue crab who he let loose for the boys to see. We caught enough for dinner! Thanks for cooking tips Captain Keith… arrrr me hearties ate well! We’ll be in touch for our future family visitors - fun afternoon. Thankyou sooo much!

    Another successful trip with Captain Keith!

    3 Hour Trip – Inlet & Jetty PM • 5 adults • 1 child

    This was our second time fishing with Captain Keith during our spring break. We really appreciated his flexibility in scheduling around some bad weather during our vacation week. He took us right out to a great spot, and Keith helped us land multiple sharks, stingrays, and other fish during our trip. Our family would highly recommend booking with Captain Keith for an afternoon of fishing!

    Reported catch:
    Bonnethead Shark

    We had a great time with Captain Keith! He taught us a lot about the water, the weather, and of course fishing. Even on a tough day, we caught some good whiting and a few bonnethead sharks. Definitely recommend!

    Keith was great with the kids! He put us on the fish fast and we caught many different species. At least twice both my children were reeling them in simultaneously.

    It was our families first charter and it was great. Plenty of room for our family of 5 on the boat and we all caught fish. Captain Keith was very kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating from start to finish. We will definitely book another trip very soon.

    I would highly recommend Captain Keith to take you on your next fishing adventure. We had a very good fishing experience and enjoyed the Captain’s company. Overall our best fishing trip yet.

What's biting with Amelia Family Fishing Charters in Fernandina Beach

This is when the season slows down, but inshore fishing still provides plenty of exciting opportunities for anglers looking to take advantage of quieter waters. Target the last of the bull Redfish, as well as Black Drum.
