There were plenty of Flounder to be caught last week. I know several people that had there limit including my self on one trip but not a lot of big fish like you would expect'

On one trip we had 11 Flounder and I bet we didn't have a fish over 2.5 pounds. That is still a nice catch but this time of year there should be a lot of 4 pound plus Flounder to be had.

I guess the Flounder run still isn't in full swing yet. We also caught quite a few Trout with only two fish in the 3 pound range. The tides are still running way above normal and the water is DIRTY!!! We should see that changing soon I hope and I will be able to get some Flounder gigging trips in.

Due to the extra high tides the back water Reds have been a hard bite at least for me. I've been catching a few but not like it should be.

If you like Croakers and Yellow mouth Trout the river is crawling with them. On a 4hr trip this past Saturday we sat in one spot the whole trip and caught 30 Croakers and our limit of big Yellow mouth Trout. When I say big Yellow mouth I mean in the 2 to 3 pound range which is big for that type of Trout.

Bio: Being a native of Northeast Florida I have enjoyed the excellent fishing and wildlife this area has to offer. I have been fishing the Jacksonville Florida area over 30 years with many a memorable fishing trip starting when I was a kid. We are in between and only minutes away from Amelia Island and St. Augustine, we can enjoy the fishing any direction. From downtown to the mouth of the ocean and all the back water in between.
