The fish Jacksonville Beach anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Jacksonville Beach blends a productive surf and pier fishery with quick access to the St. Johns River and the intracoastal marshes, where redfish, speckled trout and flounder make up the inshore staple. Big bull redfish stack at the river mouth and the jetties in fall — a genuine trophy fishery from the bank or a boat. The nearshore reefs and the area's many wrecks carry king mackerel, cobia and sheepshead, and the bottom grounds offshore add genuine variety.
