Great fishing abounds in Northeast Florida in the spring time. One of the most popular species to target is the Spanish mackerel, which school in our inlets, sounds and along our beaches. The size of your boat doesn't matter; you can have fun fishing for these toothy critters from the boat or bank.

Today’s weather forecast looks fabulous for anglers who want to try their luck fishing at their favorite fishing hole. With the high temperatures predicted in the low 80s, this would be a good time to get out on the water and recharge that inner solar panel.

Anglers who ventured offshore this week caught red snapper, sea bass and flounder. A few cobia also were reported being caught and spotted at the offshore reefs. If the water temperatures continue to climb, the cobia should begin to appear in a matter of weeks at our buoys, inshore towers and along our beaches looking for pogey pods. The sharks, jack crevalle and bull reds also will be feeding in and around the pogy pods.
