Fishing Jacksonville

Late June,
2008
The fishing has been hot at the jetties and along the beach. One afternoon we caught 19 reds, and 18 were oversize. Be extra careful releasing/reviving fish at the jetties. Recently, I had a large red devoured at boat side by a big (I think) black-tip shark. It happened fast. A couple of days later the largest barracuda I've ever seen took a 12-15 lb red in two bites right next to the boat.
Kings are biting along the beach, and the pogie pods are beginning to show up again after a long absence. I'm still jigging greenies and butterfish rather than spending time searching for pogies. You're liable to encounter schools of spanish mackerel anywhere. So far we've caught two tarpon and jumped a third while fishing for redfish. There are lots of good size black tip and spinner sharks behind the shrimp boats, if you need to bend a rod.
There are some flounder in the river and creeks. We haven't caught any over 5-lbs yet. The ladyfish and blues are not as plentiful as they were. Jacks are busting finger mullet schools along the river banks. Jack chunks or filets are good shark bait. Whiting and pompano are in the surf. Try for trout early and late with top water lures, or fish deep with sliding corks and live shrimp.
