Trolling for Pelagics – Mahi, Tuna, and Wahoo in Amelia Island Waters
As water temperatures drop, Mahi, Tuna, and Wahoo make their way south along the Amelia Island coast. Trolling for these pelagic species offers fast-paced, heart-racing action as these fish are known for long, reel-spooling runs.
The thrill of the fight is unmatched, and after the excitement of trolling, you can finish the day bottom fishing for Grouper, Mutton Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, and Triggerfish.
Inshore Fishing for Bull Reds, Black Drum, and Sharks
For those who prefer staying closer to shore, inshore fishing at the Amelia Island Jetties provides fantastic action for Bull Reds, Black Drum, and Sharks. It’s perfect for anglers looking for a shorter but still exciting trip.
For a more extended day, venture offshore to target Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, and Amberjack—all of which have been biting well within 25 miles of Amelia Island. Read more about our inshore fishing charters here.
Summer Fishing Recap – King Mackerel, Cobia, and Sailfish
Though Summer is winding down, we saw excellent action with King Mackerel, Cobia, and Sailfish during the warmer months. And while Tarpon sightings are fewer, there’s still a chance to catch one of the last few of these magnificent fish before they head south.
