Fishing in Jacksonville
Jacksonville sits on the St. Johns River, one of the few major rivers in the country that flows north, giving the city both brackish redfish and trout water downstream and freshwater largemouth bass fishing further upriver. The Mayport jetties at the river mouth open onto strong nearshore and offshore fishing.
The lower St. Johns River and its creeks hold redfish and trout year-round, with the Mayport jetties adding sheepshead, tarpon, and the occasional cobia in season. Offshore from the St. Johns River Inlet, anglers reach nearshore reefs within a few miles.
What license do you need for Jacksonville?
Florida requires a non-resident saltwater fishing license for anyone 16 or older fishing recreationally in salt water, whether from shore, a pier, or a boat. You choose a 3-day, 7-day, or annual license, fill in your details once, and we email you the official PDF within 1-2 business days. We handle the application with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) so you do not have to. The license is valid statewide along Florida's coast, from the Panhandle to the Keys.
