Jacksonville Beach Pier Producing Nice Fish

I spoke with Jacksonville Beach Pier this morning. They were telling me that fishing is a little slow this morning, due to west winds, but was excellent this last weekend. Bluefish, redfish, black drum, flounder, trout, whiting, and a few king mackerel were all caught from the pier this weekend. Bluefish will hit spoons and Got-Cha Plugs, reds will eat shrimp fished on the bottom, and black drum like pieces of crab on the bottom. Flounder will bite a shrimp or small bait fish bounced across the bottom, trout and whiting will eat a shrimp on the bottom or under a float.King mackerel can be caught from the end of the pier using 20lb class tackle. A frisky blue runner or hardtail fished under a balloon/float will catch kings. For more information contact;
