Jacksonville, Florida—often called the River City—is renowned for offering some of the finest inshore and nearshore fishing along Florida’s east coast. With a diverse array of local gamefish, this port is a favorite destination for anglers of all skill levels.
Join Captain Travis on his 24-foot Islamorada Boat Works Morada to pursue inshore species such as Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Cobia, and, when in season, Tarpon. The boat provides a safe, smooth, and dry ride, ensuring a comfortable day on the water no matter the conditions. Its ability to handle rough waters combined with a shallow draft makes it an ideal vessel for navigating Jacksonville’s inshore waters.
This is Captain Travis' most favored trip, typically taking place in the morning or afternoon. You’ll explore inshore waters using a mix of live and artificial baits, along with spin-casting and sight-casting techniques. Depending on the season, anglers commonly catch species like redfish, trout, black drum, flounder, sheep’s head, tarpon, and others during these four-hour excursions.
Another popular option, the six-hour trip also focuses on inshore fishing during morning or afternoon sessions. It uses the same fishing methods as the four-hour trip but allows more time to locate the best fishing spots of the day or target multiple species. Seasonal and weather conditions may permit “running the beach” or “spot locking” on Jacksonville’s nearshore reefs and wrecks, where species such as sharks, cobia, red snapper, black sea bass, African pompano, and occasional grouper can be found.
Designed for the dedicated angler, the eight-hour trip offers a full day on the water with ample opportunity to catch fish. Using the same techniques as shorter trips, this extended charter can combine both inshore and nearshore experiences, depending on your preferences and what’s biting. Seasonal and weather conditions will guide whether you focus on one or experience both environments.
Captain Travis supplies all necessary fishing licenses, equipment, ice, and water to ensure a successful outing. Anglers are encouraged to bring their favorite snacks and drinks, sunglasses, and attire suitable for the weather.
Above all, Captain Travis aims to provide a memorable and enjoyable fishing adventure. If you’re searching for an exceptional fishing experience in Jacksonville, don’t hesitate—book your trip today with Captain Travis!
