I've been right out in front of The Duval County Public School Board building, so far out of at least 4 trips i've only caught 1 red, about 4 stingrays, 1 crab, and a bunch of little catfish. If your looking for a little night fishing this is the spot for you, there is usually a lot of people out there, just having a good time fishing. This spot is also great for shrimping with a cast net.
