Fernandina Beach Fishing Charters: Get to Know the Area

Located on the northern tip of Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach is a well-known hub for diverse fishing opportunities along Florida’s Atlantic coast. Its unique position offers access to a wide range of waters, including inshore creeks, jetties, nearshore reefs, and offshore ledges. These areas are home to prized species like Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and Jack Crevalle in the inshore zones, while the nearshore and offshore waters host Cobia, Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, and various species of Snapper and Grouper. The seasonal shifts in water temperature and bait movement make Fernandina a productive fishery year-round, especially in spring and fall when baitfish push through and predators move in.


With decades of experience fishing these exact waters, Captain Tony Peeples of Southern Sport Fishing Charters knows the structure, tides, and fish behavior that define this region. Whether targeting tailing Redfish on a calm flat or heading offshore in search of Mahi Mahi and Grouper, Captain Tony provides local knowledge that only a seasoned Fernandina Beach fishing guide can offer. His trips are designed around the conditions and season to maximize success, and his familiarity with the terrain—from the jetties of the St. Marys River inlet to the reefs offshore—ensures anglers get a true taste of what makes Northeast Florida fishing so unique. Fernandina Beach is more than just a launch point—it’s a gateway to one of the most dynamic and accessible fisheries on Florida’s coast.
