Background
I grew up in Jacksonville and fell in love with fishing in college. I spent most of my time working on charter boats fishing and learning how to share my passion with others on my own boat.
Techniques
My style of fishing is based on what species of fish is biting the best for that time of the year. Whether it’s fishing the jetties, shallow creeks, or off the beach I am willing to adapt my style to catch more fish.

Fall Fishing at its Finest
Fall Fishing at its Finest
Okt 22, 2025 Jacksonville
Here are a few pictures from recent trips over the last several weeks! We have had a blast so far this fall and are excited to keep up the catching. From Redfish to Sheepshead the inshore action has been great. We have been using a micture if live finger mullet, shrimp, and cut bait to entice a bite. If youre looking to get in on the best time of year to fish the next two months are gonna be great.

Labor Day weekend report

Labor day weekend 2025 did not have the prettiest weather but the fish sure didnt mind it. One day we battled the rain the next day we had the wind. Despite these tough conditions we found hungry fish and capitalized on the bite. The infamous bull reds are finding their way into the river and should start gathering in larger schools. The next few moths will be prime redfish season with a good chance at catching breeders up to 50โ€ long. The slot sized fish are also geared in on the shrimp amd mulltet run and have been feeding well. Over the weekends trips we managed to catch several other species on shrimp including flounder, black drum, speckled trout, mangrove snapper, and jack crevalle. Fall is starting to show its self and the fish are biting.

As I drove to the boat ramp pre-dawn the rain bands were on and off making me question the decision on fishing that morning. As I pulled into the parking lot the sunlight began to creep over the horizon and the rain stopped abruptly. The tide was high and flooding slightly so we went looking for places to fish float rigs. We had beautiful conditions with slightly overcast skies and a light breeze. We found success quickly catching several nice speckled trout from 19โ€ to 25โ€. The largest trout was released to continue to spawn and reproduce. We also caught a large jack crevalle that fought us hard on our light tackle setups. The tropical storms are around and the weather has changed. I expect great inshore fishing this next few weeks heading into early fall fishing.

Late July
Jul 28, 2025 Jacksonville
This mornings trip had excellent conditions and a great incoming tide. We started the trip just after low tide and ran to a few spots in the ICW checking for active redfish. Once we found an oyster bar with activity and hungry redfish we were hooked up shortly after. We went on to catch a few decent sized fish and unfortunately lost a nice one next to the boat on a pulled hook. Definitely a heartbreaker but we moved on to search for some clean incoming tide. Once we were set up in some deeper water we were able to land several more redfish and this beautiful 20โ€ speckled sea trout. As the sun rose throughout the morning the temps soared quickly into the 90s and we were glad to be escaping the blazing heat after a successful morning of inshore fishing.
