I spoke with Jacksonville Beach Pier today. They were telling me that pier anglers there are catching black drum, flounder, speckled trout, and whiting. Although a good variety of fish are biting, not a lot of any one type of fish is being caught. The black drum can be caught fishing on the bottom with live or dead shrimp. Flounder will hit live shrimp, mud minnows, or finger mullet bounced across the bottom. Trout and whiting can be caught on shrimp fished under a float or on bottom. For more information contact;

I also spoke with Ron at St. Johns Co. Ocean Pier in St Augustine today. He tells me that his customers are catching black drum, spanish mackerel, and lots of flounder. The black drum can be caught on clams, live shrimp, or dead shrimp fished on the bottom. Spanish mackerel are best early in the morning or late afternoon on Clark spoons or Got-Cha Plugs. Flounder can be caught on mud minnows or finger mullet bounced across the bottom using a pyramid sinker rig. For more information contact;
