Trip Summary

Downtown Jacksonville is absolutely showing out right now. The oversized redfish have pushed into the river in a big way, and it’s been drag-screaming chaos on light tackle. These bulls are cruising deep edges, docks, and current seams—eating live bait like they’ve got something to prove. If you’re looking for a fight that’ll make your arms question your life choices, now’s the time. Big fish, big runs, and even bigger memories being made right in the heart of the city. - Captain Austin

The fish cooperated, the weather was beautiful, and another unforgettable day on the St. Johns River is in the books! ??‍?? - Captain Austin

The fish were hungry, the rods stayed bent, and the smiles came easy. Days like this are why we love chasing fish on the St. Johns! Who's ready to catch the next slam? ?? - Captain Austin
