Jacksonville and St Augustine Weekend Offshore Fishing Report

The ocean was flat as a lake this weekend so there was a lot of fishing going on! The wahoo are still there but are few and far between. Boats high speed trolling came home with 1 or 2 fish but did not get more than a couple bites. Bottom fishing has still been good. With the cooler water temperatures the snapper have moved offshore a ways. The best snapper bites have started around 100ft with the most fish coming from the 21 fathom and eltom bottom area. The beeliners are biting good in 21 bottom and the elton grounds as well. Scamp grouper were also being caught in 130ft and deeper.

A few big snapper around 25 pounds were brought in this weekend.

Bottom Fishing seems to be good!

With the colder water the bottom fishing on the party grounds offshore of Mayport should be doing good. The Mayport Princess had 33 keeper snapper on Monday and I also heard reports of some decent grouper being caught within 10 miles of the the beach.

The weather should be nice for a day or two over the holiday so hopefully we'll see more reports over the next few days.
