What anglers said about fishing in St Johns River

If you are fair skinned bring sunscreen!!! My wife is a little more delicate than I am & while I was busy catching fish …. She caught lots of sun rays?… Thanks to Captain Steve for going out of his way and donating a couple squirts of his sunscreen ??

Be prepared for cold weather. I was surprised that it was 32 degrees the morning that we went out. It did warm up to 52 or so but I can honestly say that I have never experienced this kind of weather in Florida prior to this weekend!

Did not dress as warm as we should have. It feels cooler on the water than it does on land. Also have to account for the wind from riding in the boat

Be flexible due to weather conditions. A good captain will be able to move to a new spot when showers pop up.

Keep your hopes high but your expectations realistic! Amazing that we caught so many but we know that’s not always what happens.

Having fished the river quite a bit, alone and with my family both on and off our boat. I would highly recommend going out on a charter with Captain Austin, someone who knows the river and will put you on the fish.

You have our great long river, plenty of fish. Whatever is running it's in our river. Going offshore is amazing. Catch everything then stop have lunch and go pass out those fat lips to some more. You get hot, go for a swim it's absolutely the best.

We weren't in DeBarry. The captain lives inland a bit, and also does charters in that area. That's fresh water, and about a half hour from where we went. We were out on the Ponce Inlet, and New Smyrna Beach trip. It was great! After seeing the pictures of the crappie he gets in DeBarry, I kinda want to come back down just to let him put me on some of those slabs though. They aren't near that big back home.

I had to book an afternoon charter as it was the last available on the days I was free. Coming from the bass fishing world I was worried the afternoon heat would mess up the bite. It did not matter offshore, still caught plenty of fish. Make sure the fish you want to catch is in season for the time you plan to go.

Make sure you go in the morning during the summer as the afternoons are very hot. Book with Sea Dancer as the captain knows exactly where to go and how to catch fish.

This was our first trip in Jax and we caught so many fish in an 8 hour trip. We went on a sunny day with 1-2 ft seas. It was hot, so stay hydrated and bring extra water.

Jetty fishing is the way to go if you aren’t going offshore. I’m learning these waters as I am new to Jacksonville myself, but seems that true inshore can struggle a bit during summer because of heat, but this is my second summer jetties trip and we left with sore arms and lots of fish both times. It’s a great experience!
