i am moving to Jacksonville in January from Virginia beach and i am looking for any info about salt water fishing in jax

Fishing in Jacksonville? Last year in Outdoor Life Jacksonville was featured as the best city to catch bull redfish in the fall. I live on the other side of the St Marys River in GA, n the fishing here just like in Jacksonville, is amazing. Off a dock that is in my neighborhood, i have caught reds, trout, flounder, grouper, black drum, sheepshead, bluefish and tarpon. Being from Virginia Beach you must like striped bass and the St. Marys River has those too. My email is Ruffryder51089@aol.com if u would like to contact me

Hello thack welcome to jville. where ur leting in at is one of our top areas for fishing. any where on the inside of the icw is great. and again welcome to FL.

Yes sir just echoing the sentiment of all the other previous posters. You have picked a winner of a town to move too. If you don't mind the traffic on the highways or at your local boat ramp then this is the place to be. Offshore inshore or river fishing we've got it all from cobia to the very small shrimp there is always something to do here. So hope the move goes well and TIGHT LINES

Starting at Sisters Creek you have numerous places to go,and be able to target something different all the time.PM me and welcome to the area

Hi thack, welcome to Jacksonville and Florida. I think you'll like it here as we have all kinds of fishing here as the other posters mentioned.
You can also see what's happening here on my fishing report web page or subscribe to my fishing reports, (it's free) to be able to receive them each month to help you out. You can visit it at http://vic2fish.com
I've fished here all my life and it's amazing. I wish you luck here and wish you tight lines and screaming drags.
