Fernandina Beach Fishing

Just minutes from Amelia Outlet and the Atlantic Ocean is Fernandina Beach, which boasts itself as the northernmost city in Florida and having excellent fishing inshore, nearshore and offshore. Fernandina Beach is located on the Amelia River to the left and the Atlantic Ocean to the right. There are a few harbors where you can find many professional Fernandina Beach Fishing Charters ready to take you to the backcountry or the ocean.

There are many rivers and inlets with grassy flats, oyster bars, estuaries, bridges, jetties and other shallows where you can find many types of fish. Redfish are the main fish in Fernandina Beach and are in great numbers year-round. Sea Trout are also found year-round. These are not only tasty fish but also aggressive fish that will give you a run for your money, screaming out line and jumping for their lives. Tasty Flounder is also found on the bottom of the shallows, and for a while, you can battle “The Silver King” as Tarpon migrate their way into the area.

Nearshore are some reefs with bottom feeders like Snapper, Grouper Trigger Fish and Sea Bass. Also roaming the reefs are Cobia, Mackerel, Barracuda, and Sharks. The waves are calmer, so this is an excellent charter for families.

Offshore are more reefs and wrecks where you can land large-sized bottom fish. And if you want to test yourself and get a good workout, you can head towards the Continental Shelf and the Gulf Stream to fight with the trophy fish. Mahi Mahi is a very popular fish in Fernandina Beach. Still, depending on the time of the year, your Fernandina Beach Fishing Charter will put you not only on Mahi Mahi but also on Sailfish, Wahoo, Amberjacks, King Mackerel and Marlin.

Fernandina Beach offers anglers of all levels a fun and exhilarating day on the water. A half-day inshore or nearshore is perfect for families. More experienced anglers will probably want to spend an entire day exploring the backcountry and hooking up with fun and feisty fish. But if the experienced angler really wants to test themselves, a full day going out to sea is the way to go. Fernandina Beach Fishing Charters have experienced local captains that know the area and where the fish are. Going out on a fishing charter will be a great day with lasting memories, bragging rights, and a cooler full of tasty fish.
