Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 11:3 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.

Next New Moon in ~16 days on 9th November
Full Moon is generally a productive time for fishing - especially night fishing. Bright nights mean that many predators feed more actively during the night. During full moon the gravitational pull is in line with the gravitational pull of the sun, affecting all wildlife and increasing feeding behaviour.
  • Distance to earth:
    380,340 km
    Proximity:
    59.5 %
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.

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.

Fishing Overview Jacksonville

Jacksonville, Florida fishing revolves around three major pieces of water: the St. Johns River, the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), and the Atlantic Ocean off Mayport and the Jacksonville beaches. This mix of brackish river, marsh-lined creeks, rock jetties, and nearshore/offshore structure creates year-round opportunities for inshore and bluewater anglers.

Seasonally, inshore fishing around Jacksonville peaks in spring and fall. Redfish, speckled trout, and flounder feed hard on mullet and shrimp along shell bars and grass edges from Sisters Creek to Clapboard Creek and throughout the St. Johns River system. In winter, clear water and low tides push redfish into deeper bends and holes; sight-fishing schools on sunny afternoons around low water can be excellent. Summer brings steady action at first light and dusk, especially for trout and slot reds on topwater plugs over shell and along ICW drop-offs.

The Mayport Jetties are a focal point. These massive rock piles at the mouth of the St. Johns hold redfish, black drum, sheepshead, and seasonal runs of Spanish mackerel and kingfish. Boat anglers work the edges with live shrimp, crabs, or mullet on slip sinker or knocker rigs, keeping baits tight to the rocks and paying attention to current direction. On calmer days, jigging bucktails or soft plastics down the sides produces bigger reds and drum.

Backwater and creek fishing is all about tides. Productive creeks off the ICW and river—like Mill Cove, Cedar Point, and the Timucuan marsh—fish best on moving water. On the last of the outgoing and first of the incoming, redfish and trout stack along creek mouths, oyster points, and deeper bends. A 1/8–1/4 oz jighead with live shrimp or mud minnows is a reliable search tool; once fish are found, switch to soft-plastic paddle tails or jerkbaits in natural hues for faster coverage.

Surf and pier anglers around Jacksonville Beach, Hanna Park, and Huguenot Park target whiting, pompano, bluefish, and sharks. Fish cut shrimp, sand fleas, or clams on double-drop rigs in the outer trough, and cast metal spoons or plugs for passing Spanish mackerel and jacks when bait schools are tight to the beach. On high water with light surf, long casts to the outer bar often outproduce; on steeper, choppy days concentrate on the closer gut where waves dump.

Nearshore and offshore fishing out of Mayport and St. Johns River Inlet is driven by water temperature and bait. In late spring through fall, king mackerel, cobia, and tarpon roam the nearshore wrecks, bait pods, and shipping channel. Slow-trolling live pogies (menhaden) or mullet on stinger rigs is the standard kingfish tactic. Bottom fishing the wrecks and ledges in 60–120 feet with cut bait or squid yields sea bass, snapper, grouper, and amberjack; use enough weight to stay vertical in the current and upgrade leaders when amberjack move in.

Key tactical tips for Jacksonville anglers include matching tactics to tide and clarity: lighten leaders and downsize baits in winter’s clear water, and beef up tackle for summer jetty and kingfish action. Focus on current breaks—jetty tips, channel edges, and oyster corners—and adjust your anchoring or drifting angle so baits sweep naturally with the tide. With its mix of river, marsh, jetty, and offshore structure, Jacksonville rewards anglers who stay mobile and let the tide and bait dictate their daily plan.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Jacksonville area

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 4 beaches and bays in this area.
