The Jacksonville region and northern Florida in general offer a wealth of opportunities for avid fishermen and novices alike to reel in a great catch.

Freshwater fans will want to hit the renowned Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, a truly incredible location with plenty of hideaways offering fly fishing opportunities.  

Closer to Amelia Island, you can find a great location to dip your bait in at the Nassau Sound Fishing Bridge.

And, of course, nothing beats taking a boat out for the day on the St. John’s River or Intracoastal Waterway. If you don’t own a boat yourself but you’re interested in spending more time out on the open water, consider joining Jax Boat Club and trading tips with fellow members on the best spots to fish.
