Jacksonville Fishing Report

The sheepshead really slowed down a few weeks ago and are expected to fire off almost any time now. I've been checking my logs and have seen a pattern of them picking up about a week and a half to 2 weeks before the El Cheapo Sheepshead Tournament each

Redfish in the creeks continue to bit pretty good. We’‘ve even caught some nice 8 and 9 pound sheepshead with a quarter crab on the middle of incoming tides in the creeks. When the water level starts getting into the grass look for the grass to move and cast
