Saltwater Fishing

Fishing on Amelia Island

Amelia Island's beaches, marshes, and the Nassau Sound at its southern tip offer a quieter alternative to Florida's busier coastline, with strong runs of redfish, flounder, and whiting through the marsh creeks and surf. Fernandina Beach is the base for offshore charters heading out to nearshore reefs.

The marsh creeks around Nassau Sound are a favorite for redfish and flounder on a falling tide, while the beach itself produces whiting and pompano for surf anglers. Boats running out of Fernandina Beach reach nearshore bottom fishing within a short run.
