Fish on the Line
Black Drum: These bruisers are the drummers of the sea, known for the croaking sound they make. They're bottom feeders that put up a great fight. In Jacksonville, you can find them year-round, but they're especially active in the cooler months. When you hook one, get ready for a tug-of-war – these fish can weigh up to 50 pounds or more!
Tarpon: The "Silver King" is the rock star of inshore fishing. These acrobatic fish are known for their spectacular leaps and can grow over 6 feet long. Late spring through summer is prime Tarpon time in Jax. Landing one of these beauties is a true badge of honor for any angler.
King Mackerel: Also known as Kingfish, these speedsters are the sprinters of the sea. They're most abundant in our waters from spring to fall. Trolling is the name of the game for Kings, and when they hit, be ready – they can make your reel scream as they peel off line at incredible speeds.
Redfish: The poster child of inshore fishing, Redfish are beloved for their copper color and that distinctive spot on their tail. They're here all year, but fall is when they really shine. Sight fishing for Reds in the shallows is an adrenaline rush like no other – you'll be hooked for life.
Cobia: These curious fish are sometimes called "crabeaters" or "lemonfish." They show up in our waters as the water warms in spring and stick around through fall. Cobia are known for following larger animals like sharks or rays, so keep your eyes peeled. They put up an epic fight and are delicious on the grill – a true offshore prize.
