Fly Fishing in Jacksonville

Countless visitors flock to Jacksonville each year to visit its numerous museums and cultural sites, play golf, and experience its rich nature. But for many anglers out there, it's all about the fly fishing Jacksonville has in store. 
 
The area is known as one of the best backcountry fishing spots in the country. The Intracoastal Waterway's creeks and canals, flats, and other shallow water hotspots are a true fly fishing heaven. There's no better way to get the most out of these skinny waters than aboard an experienced Jacksonville fishing charter. 
 

What to Expect  

 
The fly fishing Jacksonville, FL is famous for involves catching anything from Redfish and Spotted Seatrout to Flounder, Bluefish, Cobia, Sheepshead, Jack Crevalle, Spanish Mackerel, Black Drum, and even Sharks. 
 
Redfish is by far the most popular species to catch on the fly here, and the city is known as the epicenter of "fly fishing for Redfish" by many passionate anglers. It's common to sight fish for Reds in the tidal marsh creeks using bait fish, shrimp, crab, and black patterns. 
 
The famous St. Johns River and Mayport Inlet are known as one of the most diverse ecosystems in the country, exploding with diversity and abundance of species. Fly fishing for Sharks is especially productive here. 
 
All this is possible on both shorter and longer trips, though longer trips are recommended for more experienced anglers hoping to target multiple species. In addition to these year-round trips, don't miss the opportunity to fish during "flood tides" happening from July to November – this unique event is on the bucket list of many die-hard fly fishermen. 
 

How to Prepare 

 
Some local charters provide fly fishing gear, some don't, so make sure to check what's included before the trip. Fishing licenses are covered if you fish with a licensed charter, so no need to worry about getting them. Bring any food and drinks of your choice, sunglasses, hats, and personal belongings. 
 
Fly fishing in Jacksonville is suitable for anglers of all ages and skill levels, so don't hesitate if you're still learning the ropes. Local guides will show you all the tricks and hotspots, and make sure you go home with some serious bragging rights.

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

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.

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.

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 arenโ€™t going offshore. Iโ€™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. Itโ€™s a great experience!

We didn't catch a ton of fish in 4 hours but the size of what we caught made up for it! Captain Ryan was great about making sure all our boys had a chance to fight a good fight reeling them in. He also gave us a lot of variety in our 4 hour experience! Would definitely book again.

If you're at Mayport: arrive early, or be prepared to take a taxi/uber. Parking at the dock fills up very quickly. We were 25 minutes early and there were only 3 spots left (mind you, on the other side of the street) to park in. There is a little more availability of you have your own boat on a trailer, but honestly not by much.
