What anglers said about fishing in Florida

We caught some fish but only one keeper. It did rain pretty hard for the first hour that we were supposed to be fishing so that may have played a factor in the lack of bites we saw.

When you book make sure the guide isn’t out of Jacksonville if you want to stay in Amelia Island area like we did.

Enjoy yourself and don't get disappointed if you don't catch anything. We had 3 people fishing and only 2 of us caught anything. Rwmember it is not the captains fault if you don't catch anything

Our trip was for our anniversary and not planned around fishing, so we knew that July was not the best month but we’re hoping to get lucky.

Ponce inlet has some of the best fishing boats on the east coast. They are also located next to a restaurant and lounge.

I would definitely recommend booking with one of the smaller charters like Karma Charters, rather than the larger charters where you’ll have many more folks aboard. Our personal fishing experience with Rocky was something that you just can’t get with the larger charters.

The fishing was all in calm waters in case you have people concerned about rough water/motion sickness.

It’s a little harder to find the bite when the water is 90 degrees. But that’s July fishing for you. Got to have patience.

Make sure to bring sunscreen or some variation of a long sleeve shirt to wear— we were only out for 4 hours and got FRIED (our own faults, not the captains or company’s). Also, if legally you can— bring alcohol. Helps a lot with the sea sickness… like A LOT. Being on the water in a lake versus the Gulf is a totally different beast— so just bring it. Sunglasses are also a good idea, since the sun is beating off the water it can make it hard to see.

Bring plenty of water and continously apply sunscreen. Wear ultra lightweight and breathable clothing. I'd wear a long sleeve shirt, pants, hat, and polarized sunglasses. Remember that there's no shade or bathroom on smaller inshore boats.

A little different experience, you can’t set the hook like you used to, due to the rounded hooks (circle hooks) that are mandated in this area. Could be a little frustrating. Still a lot of fun though.
