Jacksonville - Amelia Island Saltwater Fishing Report
The end of October of course is Halloween...But even scarier than that is what you could catch!
Everyone from the adults to of course, the kids have told me, "that's the biggest fish I've ever seen", when a giant Redbass (Redfish) pops to the surface after a hard fought battle.
It's a big weekend here in J-ville, Fla.
Not only is it all hallow's Eve weekend, but the Gator Bowl game. World's largest tailgate party.
And guess what else is perfect?
The tides, that week. They're strong because of the New moon on the 28th. But at the same time there's really no need to depart the dock at the crack of dawn...either.
It's really a time of year I love.
Not only do we have the big Fish action, but by then the St. Johns River Jetties (inlet) is ready to be my first stop in the morning.
NO - LONG - BOAT - RIDES
2 miles and we're where I want to be.
Here's a few of last fall's Whoppers:

Not to forget the "eaters", if your wanting a fresh fish dinner.

I had a cancellation for the 31st of October, which is the day everyone usually wants, so at this time I have that Friday open, as of now.
Reasonable rates, large comfortable & safe boat for all ages, absolute top shelf tackle, live bait, and even a comfy easy chair to relax in after you go "toe to toe" with possibly the largest fish you ever seen or caught.
Jacksonville Fishing Forecast:
Start also thinking about Thanksgiving time.
In my book, it's the BEST and most sought after time to go fishing inshore in the whole area.
Cooler weather, plenty of good fish and good eats, friends, family, what could be any better?
I have some days around the holiday open. So plan ahead...so you're not scambling to get a day last minute. You have nothing to loose by planning in advance. Just give me a call to discuss your options |

Capt. Dave Sipler's Sport Fishing - Jacksonville, St. Johns River/Inlet & near-coastal waters to Amelia Island Florida. Updated: 11/30/06
My World, a classroom
So far it's been one heck of a good "winter" season. My customers have caught some monster size Trout, had many over-sized Redfish on tiny hooks and light rods, been surprised by Sheepshead and Black Drum, and the overall best responses I get are, "Capt Dave, it's wonderful how you take the time to teach us your fishing technique."
What I really enjoy, is when we're cruising down the river from spot to spot, everyone's happy, caught fish, and they're talking about what they've just learned.
And the reason why is because they just learned something new and exciting.
First off, I take them to what I call and acclimation spot. A place where the tide is moving along nicely, the chance for any kind of bite is likely, the challenge is low, just so they can get a feel of the technique, the tackle and boat.
I have areas I fish that are like levels, 0-10. 10 being the most challenging and heart stopping. Some are more productive than others, some have larger fish than others. You have to learn how to walk before you can run, so if you've never been out with me before, or are new to fishing don't worry. I can always step it up or drop down a notch.
And that's what I really like to do. Once everyone has a good idea of how it's all done, and has caught a few.....IT'S GO TIME! And this is when the excitement levels, challenge, and many times the fish get tougher to catch.
My favorite areas to fish are huge structure spots. And we have no lack of them in the St. Johns River. Plus, I like spots that are what I refer to as TIGHT. There isn't a lot of room, and not a lot of room for error, either.
Imagine this; Deep, swift water, adjacent to where we are, deep meaning 40 feet! Dock piling, boulders, and a bottom as sticky as Velcro with barnacles and shells. You have to drift your float-rig along the edge of the fast current in a lane right behind the boat that's 12-16 feet deep, slip by a set of pilings.....and when your float goes down it could be a trophy Speckled Trout of 5 plus pounds, a knarly battle scared Sheepshead , or a 10 pound Redfish that's rooting around. And they all know where the exit door is, when hooked! This is a level 9-3/4's spot.
When people think Fishing Charter, I honestly do not always know what that means to them. Everyone is different. I can guess though..... Some want 100 pounds of fillets to take home. Which seems more like a commercial fishing trip to me. Some want an enjoyable day on the water. Some want to learn and see new area. And some want personal guidance that you will only get on a private charter with a full-time guide.
Many charters are family outings, and are for the Jr. Angler aboard to get some exposure to fishing, along with Dad, Uncles or Granpa's.
Let me tell you about a chilly November 20th. I had Steve H. along with his brother's or brother-in-law's I can't remember which. And his son 7 year old, Jake. On the phone Steve said, "Jake's been out offshore catching bla,bla, bla, before. He can fish, he's great on a boat, he's caught giant bla,bla,bla, before...." I have to admit, I've heard all that before. And sometimes it turns out the youngster shouldn't belonged on a all day charter. Because he got bored to quick, couldn't pay attention, or just played in the live-well all day and we ended up fishing around him as he scattered Pringles Potatoe chips all over the floor of the boat, for fun.
But as Steve said, little Jake was like having a miniature adult on board. He paid attention, and learned just like his Dad and his Uncle's what we were going to do that day. And to my surprise just about "out-fished" his Dad and Uncles! He caught big Trout, big Redfish, and put the first Flounder in the boat. His first SLAM, all on the float-rig! All by himself!
And he even did some of that on a LEVEL 9-3/4 spot! So as you can see, the joy I get out of every trip I do is different. Sometimes the happiest moment is when I'm washing the blue Pringles Potatoe chips off the floor of the boat after a long day, and others are when I have little Jake's aboard.
If you are unsure of what kind of charter you'd like to do, but want the emphasis on your Jr. Anglers (no matter if they've ever fished before) to learn and catch some fish. I do a 2 hour Focus on Kids, fishing trip. It's a good way to introduce the kids to fishing in a boat, and I guarantee they'll learn a lot, and have fun. But it's not as enduring as a full day charter. Check my "Inshore-Coastal" web page for details.

Capt. Dave Sipler's Sport Fishing - Jacksonville, St. Johns River/Inlet & near-coastal waters to Amelia Island Florida. Updated: 8/30/06
SEPTEMBER...the start of change
Yes, September. When all the kids are back in school, it's the peak of hurricane season, and the inshore fishing in N.E. Florida slides slowly out of the summer doldrums. After many years of doing this now, I certainly have decided on my favorite season. As I said in last months report, I just love the sweatshirt and shorts weather. And although September isn't it yet, and either is most of October, some years. At least it's getting closer.
I've had many days in the last weeks of August that are good signs of what's to come..... (big brood stock Redfish up to 50 pounds). Almost everyday that weather permitted, I took my folks on a quick bait hunt, and then strategically anchored outside the Mayport inlets jetty rocks. (on my favorite spot) even chummed a little if I caught enough bait, and pitched either cut or live Pogies (menhaden) out on the edge of the submerged jetty rocks. And we've been catching some dandy Redfish up to 15 pounds. But these aren't even the big ones yet. It turned out to be kind of good though, because I've had many young anglers that didn't need any larger of a fish.
Ernesto the hurricane/tropical storm is heading north right now as I write this report. And I hope we actually get a lot of rain. But probably not enough.
Because these are the kinds of factors that will help local fishing. Not only am I excited about the big Redfish in Sept. & Oct. but I'm also excited about getting back into more and more Speckled Trout.
I went or a R&D trip yesterday, (that's Research and Development) and did the best I have all summer long, fishing my normal stomping grounds. I fished with the Float-rig and live shrimp, and had 18-20 Trout, and easily had my 5 keeper sized fish, from 16" to 21". I was successful on 2 out of the 4 area's I tried. The word was that there is a lot of river shrimp in this area. Friends have been catching enough for bait off their docks. So if we get a huge push of fresh water, these same shrimp will flush out, and the Trout fishing will go wild.
It did last year, that's for sure. With storm after storm, we had no problems with drought in all of 2005. And it turned out to be a year to remember for me, as a dedicated Speckled Trout angler. And I distinctly remember, when we had a huge push of fresh water from all the rain in September the Trout were stacked up right at my back door, making them so easy to catch.
Each year is different from the next. But one thing is for sure, you can't go wrong during September and October, barring any weather related events. Plus, I'm on the edge of my seat, because my new boat should be arriving the first week or so of October. And there's nothing like a new romance. So if your planning a visit to Jacksonville, Amelia Island or surrounding areas. Now is the time to secure yourself a date with Mr. & Mrs. Redfish and their friends the Trout family.
I'll have them tracked down for ya',

Capt. Dave's News Page
On 7/19-7/21 Capt. Dave with his dad as a traveling partner went to Blacklab Marine, in Yarmouth Maine, and met with owner Jay Perrotta. Jay is a dealer/representative of Pacific boats for the East coast.
Capt Dave went to order his new charter boat that will be a customized 26' center console "Alloy Plate" Pacific. The boat will be built at the Pacific companies facilities in Washington. But while in Maine, Jay treated Capt. Dave and his dad to some outstanding seafood, and two days of cruising in a Pacific 23' center console hard top, around the unbelievably beautiful coast line between Portland and Yarmouth. Dotted with literally thousands of rocky islands inhabited with summer cottages, and lighthouses. The weather was awesome. 72 degrees, sunny and no wind. It was kind of a mini vacation for Capt Dave, from the Florida heat and to see an area steeped with Maritime tradition and New England lifestyle. Much of the scenery they saw could have been straight out of a New England postcard collection.
When Capt. Dave's new boat arrives, he will be a Pro Rep for BlackLab Marine, providing not only local Jacksonville charters in his Pacific, but also demo rides for prospective and curious people who want to know more about Marine grade aluminum boats by Pacific, from Georgia, North and South Carolina, and all of Florida.
Plate Alloy boats, are not a new concept. And with a bit of research you'll find that fiberglass boats cannot touch a Plate Alloy built boat if you're looking for toughness, strength, speed, sea-worthiness, and fuel economy. Just look at what the US Coast Guard uses! (photos below are of a Gulf Coast customers 23' hard top and some of the awesome Maine Coast scenery) ***Will be updating these photo's with a boat in the building process soon.
Capt Dave's 26' center console boat will be built with a Florida styling in mind, like the one that says V2600. Open console, no top but with the console pushed a bit forward. It's going to be a "ride" like you have never seen before, around here. And will probably be offering "6-6-6 fishing charters"....6 passengers-6 hours-$600

Capt. Dave Sipler's Sport Fishing - Jacksonville, St. Johns River/Inlet & near-coastal waters to Amelia Island Florida. Updated: 8/2/06
Summer is more than half over...
The other day I was thinking about Feb. 4th of 2005. You know when that was? It was 2 days before the Super Bowl, held here in J-ville, Florida. For 3 months prior, my phone rang till the battery died almost everyday. And I was receiving at least 10 e-mails a day inquiring about charters.
Yeah, that was supposed to be 'our big time'. Even fishing guides were going to the bank, for all the business we were supposed to get, so said the Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau. But I knew better.
No one thought about what this fisherman knew all along......"THE WEATHER". February in Jacksonville is the mother of all months!
Out of probably 400 e-mails, and 1000 hours of phone calls I booked one trip on Feb. 4th with Sal Pepitone Sr. & Jr. from Long Island N.Y., and then later another boat for the same day with his hosts from FedEx. None of those phone calls and emails wanted to commit. For some reason people were apprehensive, and unsure if they really wanted to fish or sleep off their hang-over's instead. Pre-booking a charter for before or after the game was like pulling teeth. Except for Sal & Sal Jr. who were die-hard N.Y. anglers.
I left the dock that morning at 7:00am. The temperature was a balmy 28 degree's, with a howling gale force N.E. wind. And a water temp of 55 degree's. I was clothed in every foul weather, winter attire I owned. But Sal Sr. & Jr. were ready to go. And we caught a whopping 6- small and frozen Speckled Trout that whole day, just 200 yards from where we left because the river was heinously nasty, and the wind chill was burning our faces and the ride was wet.
That's an example of the most extreme. And although summer is more than half way over, it's about this time every year I look forward to a change. I don't mean a change like I just described, but a change temperature wise, and fishing wise.
People ask me almost every trip, doesn't matter what month it is. "What's the best time of year to fish here", as if they think this day isn't good enough for them.
And I always say, "my favorite time of year is November through Mothers day." I usually get a confused look from them. Because they do not know about our 3-seasons here in N.E. Florida. Which is; TOO HOT, VERY COMFORTABLE & TOO COLD. They just think Florida is always HOT. I also respond, "I like a sweatshirt with shorts, weather".
And just about every August, I can't wait for "Sweatshirts and shorts weather". To me it means, better fishing. But let me define the word "better", as I see it.
Changing climate - transitions - cooler water temps - bait migration - more Trout - better jetty fishing - less busy weekends - no fishing tournaments. (the arrival of my new boat, this year.)
But, just around the corner comes something more consistent. The Big spawning Redfish, in the river and at the inlets.
And in about one more month, this will be one of our target species along with Speckled Trout fishing. September is one of those transition times. And the big Redfish spawn marks the beginning of Fall. We might not be in sweatshirts, during the early morning run to the spot just yet, but it's around the corner. And I can't wait. Summer is long, and right about now I'm longing for a change.
With the building of my new boat, will come a feeling of rejuvenation, also. "A new romance" ya' might say. And it's been in the planning stages for over two years. So, this ought to be one hell of a fall season for me!
I hope you'll plan on visiting me in Jacksonville. So we can pursue a whopper and some Specks, together.
Check my NEWS page on my web site for updates and photos of my new ride if you're interested in learning more about Plate Alloy boats from Pacific and Blacklab Marine.

Capt. Dave Sipler's Sport Fishing - Jacksonville, St. Johns River/Inlet & near-coastal waters. Updated: 7/6/06 Revised on:
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Over the years, I have really changed my tune about many aspects of fishing here in N.E. Florida. Years and years ago I was a die hard offshore trolling and bottom fishing guy. Surrounding myself with some of the best people and learned all I could by doing.
Then as time went on I found how hard it is to make a living doing just offshore fishing charters here in the Jacksonville area, so naturally you have to be come very flexible. One day I'd be taking 4 people out 20 miles, and the next we'd be fishing in the river. I also became very flexible with my boats too. I had my 23' offshore type center console, then I bought a 17' flat bottomed skiff for shallow water fishing. Not long after I also ran a 22' bay boat for a local dealership, as a demo and also took charter customers fishing with it.
I got to the point where I referred to my 3 boats as "my 3 wives". Jumping from one to the other for different trips. Maintaining them and keeping all three 'happy' became a full-time job.......(hence the 3 wives concept).
I now use an ole saying, (but tweaked a little) to describe what I believe makes for a good and sane Fishing guide, here in N.E. Florida waters. "Jack of all trades, but master of one" is my motto.
It's hard enough in this area of Florida to keep up with what's going on in your area of expertise, let alone trying to do it all and be really good at teaching others while being successful ever day.
Folks ask me all the time, "what should I do to learn how to catch fish here?" And I immediately attempt to describe the meaning of my personal motto.
#1 - pick an area of the river, that you can access easily with frequency.
#2 - fish only that area.
#3 - fish that area during all seasons.
#4 - get to know every conceivable fishing situation; IE: tide, bait, weather, tactic, every nook and cranny.
#5 - move on to another area only when you have it mastered.
Now, this process could take 20 years. And of course you'll venture out of your target area from time to time. But when the going gets tough you'll find yourself going back to where you call home, or back to a type of fishing that you are most comfortable with.
Familiarity breeds success. And now you'll experience the same things I and many other fishing guides do.
On my web pages www.captdaves.com you'll see what I love to do, and where I do it, best.
We're still basically in a drought condition here along the upper reaches of the St. Johns River. It's time for local live shrimp, but they are sparatic. And so is any live shrimp in general.
Some very good fishing has been way up river towards the Orange Park area, near the Buchman bridge. During drought conditions this area becomes sort of the demarcation line of where the saltier ocean water finally meets the fresher water of the St. Johns. Catches of Striped Bass, Speckled Trout, Flounder and others have been good from right under the massive pilings of this over 3 mile bridge that spans the river.
Locally in the Mayport area (my home turf) the river fishing is best when we have stronger tides. I've done best on days with a 4+ foot tide, which relates to the amount of current that we will get along the river banks. But still things can be tough because of the salinity levels. I want to depart very early and be done by 1pm each day. The heat of the afternoon, is the slowest part of the day for me.
Nassau Sound has been giving up a literal grab-bag of species. And makes for a really fun day. Big Whiting and lots of them, along with Jacks, Ladyfish, Bluefish, coastal shark species, and the illusive Pompano. If ya' just want to pull on fish all day, this is the place to go.
Chum fishing near the Pogie pods has been a morning kind of trip also. This has been taking place just north of the Mayport Jetties. The pods of bait have been there in acre size schools for weeks now. Chum fishing means a lot of sharks, which are fun and strong. Ranging from 30 pounds to 100. Tarpon are there too, but of course have been illusive. They'll roll by from time to time. But I haven't heard of many hook-up's. Giant Jack Cravalles in the 20-30 pound range also frequent the massive pods of bait, these are really a crowd pleaser. Then there's the Cobia. I had a 2 yesterday one small one and a 30 pounder. And just had a friend call me just now that boxed a 30 pounder also. So the Cob's are still out there and are the big meat fish.
Speckled Trout, Redfish and Flounder can be found thru-out the summer in the river, but the fishing is much better when you reserve a day that has strong tides, so please consult with me about the tides before reserving a trip.
