The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 11:32 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

The center shows the current moon phase which is a Third Quarter Moon at 51% lumination. According to the Solunar Theory, today is a average day for fishing, but you need to cross check this with the current weather forecast for a final decision. Today some bite times coincide with sunrise or sunset. Those will be particularly good times for fishing and are indicated by sun icons. The next best fishing time ( ) starts in -3 hour and -3 minute. The gray time indicator displays the current local time.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather
The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

October brings cooling water and a strong mullet run to Jacksonville. Inshore, look for aggressive redfish tailing on low tides and stacking at creek mouths on the outgoing. Dawn and dusk produce consistent spotted seatrout on topwaters over oyster bars, shifting to soft plastics as the sun rises. Flounder ambush edges of docks and flat transitions with finger mullet or jigged paddletails. Around the Mayport jetties, expect bruising bull reds on cut mullet and crabs, with black drum and early sheepshead nosing barnacle-laden rocks.

Nearshore bait pods can hold fast-moving Spanish mackerel and the occasional king; shiny spoons and live pogy slow-trolls get bit. In the surf, cooling temps spark pompano, whiting, and bluefish on sand fleas, shrimp, and metal. Best action often aligns with moving water—target the last half of the outgoing tide or first of the incoming, especially after a clearing day post-front when water settles.

Top tip: Follow the finger mullet—match size with natural colors, work baits with short, erratic darts, and always position up-current so your offering sweeps naturally past ambush points.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Jacksonville area

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 5 wharf(s) in this area.

Clyde Line Steamship Company (historical) - 0.89732257783km , Adams Street Yard Wharf - 2.74919267601km , North Florida Shipyard Upper Wharf - 3.13887093761km , Jacksonville Electric Authority Southside Generating Station Wharf - 3.27365007378km , North Florida Shipyards Lower Wharf - 3.30969194949km

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 1 beaches and bays in this area.

Red Bay Branch - 7.48453774607km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 11 main harbours in this area.

River City Marina - 1.06054521327km, Metropolitan Park Marina - 2.15120520789km, Arlington Marina - 4.63926653701km, Seafarers Marina - 6.93384108237km, Edwards Marina - 6.9470062205km, Pier 68 Marina - 6.99123785509km, Ortega Yacht Club Marina - 8.07147458148km, Sadler Point Marina - 8.19809586281km, Ceder Point Marina - 8.45031759638km, Lambs Marina - 8.59081266971km, Florida Yacht Club Marina - 9.06910368326km
