This private charter targets redfish, seatrout, and black drum in the St. Johns River system and surrounding saltmarsh. The shallow draft 20' bay boat accesses prime inshore structure where these species feed during optimal tidal windows. Fishing methods include bottom fishing near structure, casting jig heads to visible fish, and drifting slip floats in current breaks using live bait, natural baits, and proven artificials.
Recent success includes a 17-pound redfish caught while chunking half-pogie baits in 20 feet of water near the ICW at Mayport. Afternoon clearing conditions provided perfect visibility for sight fishing opportunities. The boat's shallow draft design allows access to productive backwater areas where larger redfish patrol during moving tides.
Jacksonville's inshore fishing revolves around the 6-hour tidal cycles that move baitfish and predators through the river system. The St. Johns River mouth at Mayport offers consistent action when tides are moving, while the extensive saltmarsh provides shelter during weather changes. Water temperatures remain fishable year-round, with seasonal species movements bringing variety to each trip.
Captain Dave's local knowledge includes productive structure, seasonal bait patterns, and weather-protected areas when conditions change. The custom Jettywolf handles both open water near the inlet and skinny water backcountry fishing. Participants should be mobile and comfortable casting spinning tackle for best results, wearing sneakers or soft-soled shoes only.
The 20' custom Jettywolf accommodates 2 anglers comfortably with all fishing equipment, safety gear, coolers, and ice provided. Early 7am departure maximizes fishing time during prime tidal windows. Guests bring drinks, snacks, and weather-appropriate clothing. No work boots, hard-soled shoes, or open-toed sandals recommended for boat safety. All licensing included, with fish cleaning services available after the trip on gratuity basis.

Captain Dave's custom 2025 Jettywolf is a 20-foot shallow draft bay boat built specifically for Jacksonville's inshore waters. The boat's design allows access to both the St. Johns River system and skinny saltmarsh areas where redfish and seatrout feed. With comfortable seating for 2 anglers, the Jettywolf carries all necessary fishing equipment, safety gear, coolers, and ice. The shallow draft capability means reaching productive backwater spots that larger boats can't access, while still handling open water conditions near Mayport inlet when weather permits.
