6-Hour Jacksonville Fly Fishing and Light Tackle Inshore Fishing Charter

A 6-hour inshore fishing charter offers a deeper, more immersive experience for anglers who want additional time to adapt to changing conditions and fully explore Northeast Florida’s inshore fishery. With more hours on the water, this trip allows for a relaxed pace, greater flexibility, and increased opportunity to capitalize on prime feeding windows throughout the tide cycle in Jacksonville.
 
Your day begins with a clear plan built around tides, weather, and seasonal fish movement. With six hours available, there’s time to cover more water and fish a wider variety of environments—grass flats, oyster bars, winding tidal creeks, and marsh shorelines tied into the St. Johns River and nearby estuaries. This added range often translates into more shots at quality fish and the ability to adjust strategies as conditions evolve.
 
A 6-hour charter is ideal for anglers looking to refine skills or target specific species such as redfish, spotted seatrout, flounder, black drum, and seasonal large and juvenile tarpon. The extended format allows for longer sight-fishing sessions, dialing in presentations, and working productive areas patiently instead of rushing between spots. Both fly fishing and light-tackle spinning approaches are commonly used, and instruction is always available—whether you’re learning fundamentals or sharpening technical skills.
 
All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided, along with water and ice. Catch-and-release practices are emphasized to protect the fishery and ensure sustainability.
 
This charter is a great middle ground between a half-day and full-day trip. It’s well suited for serious anglers, repeat guests, or anyone wanting a more complete and unhurried inshore fishing experience—one that showcases the depth, diversity, and rhythm of Jacksonville’s coastal waters.
