Kayak Fishing in the Middle of DOWNTOWN JACKSONVILLE!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лис 2023
- Always wanted to launch my kayak at this ramp and explore the nearby areas. More importantly, always wondered what type of fish can be caught right here in Metropolitan Urban Downtown Jacksonville. I gave it a try and made it happen. Hope you enjoy the adventure!

Great video brother. Never ever lift a flounders head out of the water, almost a guarantee they will get off. Love what you're doing.
I’ve lost so many like that. Including a potential PB in MillCove. Lifted it up, shook, gone🤦♂️😫 Thanks for the advice and glad you’re enjoying the videos👊
DUUUVAL 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
👊👊👊
Nice to see this spot fished!
Thanks for watching and visiting the channel! I do plan to return to this area really soon
Dude love the way you try different areas. KUDOS 💪Keep the vids coming very inspirational.
Really appreciate it! Trying to fish areas that people don’t see too often, especially from a kayak🤙
I know many of the new DIA projects like the shipyards along the downtown river north Bank are supposed to have some new living shores for fishing.
That’s great! I have a couple artificial reefs marked already that they put in several years back around the downtown area. Impossible to fish from a kayak though. Hopefully the news ones are more accessible
Really enjoy your videos. Keep them up!
Def will! Thank you!
I'm surprised you didn't stay another hour, for the top water action. I love your videos, because we fish the same spots, but you always catch more fish than me. 😊
Thanks Scott! I doubt that though lol. Aren’t you the Scott that used to post often on the Jaxkayakfishing forums? If so, you are the fishmaster! Lol
Awesome video, man.
Thanks bro!!👊👊
Thanks for sharing man. I’ve been curious about fishing downtown as well, always wondered if the dolphins scare off all the fish.
Dolphins def scare the fish, they were all over the place that day. But I’m sure they’re not always around. I’ll prob be fishing here again real soon
Cool video!
Thanks man!👊👊
Always wondered about fishing those areas. I work downtown and was curious. Interesting. See you Monday up my way for some beasts!!
I think the bite could’ve been better. I also received intel that there are Sheeps right in the areas I was fishing or passing through. Man, love to get on some downtown Jax sheepshead! But yessir, see you Monday!
Its so wild to fish and see apts and business's so close. I was really curious to see what fish you pull up. nice one
Thanks bro! It was a slow day though. I plan to go back and give it another try. I heard sheepshead are around there too so it's on! lol
Those flounder are very cool!! Love the views!! There are nearly 1 million residents in Jacksonville. You get to see the scenery like 99.99% will never see. I plan to do this same trip and good that you do you homework checking what is going on with the tides. I guess the flounder knew it wasn't there season. Wish you could have measure that one that got away. Nice trout and cool to paddle with the dolphins too.
Thanks brother! Let me know when you plan to make that trip, I’ll join you! I don’t live too far away🤙
Great video ! Wow they made Flounder have an out of season now.
Thank you! Yeah, unfortunately they did. Can’t keep any flounder from Oct 15-Nov 30th😪
Such a beautiful city. That boat ramp is where i catch alot of my shrimp when they are downtown
Yes it is! I always see lots of people throwing cast nets around there. Must be going after shrimp just like you🙌
Some really great camera shots as always!
Would love to see you wearing your PFD though. Especially in heavy current. Trust me, it could save you one day when you least expect it.
Thank you! I know i really need to wear a PFD when exploring the big open waters, but just can’t fish comfortably. I do have one within arms reach. Prob need to get one of those extremely slim ones, eventually
@@VISUAL-LY definitely-I highly recommend the NRS Otto Matik. Mine quite literally saved my life a few months ago when I capsized & kept getting pulled under in a river.
@@TheFishingMommy wow, be safe out there! I’ll check it out. Thanks!
That was a heart break on that big flounder. I have never fished down that way. Need to explore more.
That hurt me lol. But def explore, never know what can be found out there🙌
Another good day on the water Trong. Currents can really rip around the bridges. Congrats on the slam..
Thank you sir! You’re not kidding about the currents, def would not recommend kayaking this part of the river for anyone without lots of experience. Even with the low tidal coefficient, it was ripping!
@VISUAL-LY I agree. Especially if your old like me😊😊
Hooked a tarpon last week under the main street bridge
Heck yeah! I’ve seen them in the area but have yet to try and hook one😅
@@VISUAL-LY we weren't trying lol. We were hiding from a storm and hooked up on 2 of them. They must have been running through and we got lucky.
lol damn! I need that kind of luck😂
Flatties are everywhere right now. Prob caught 5-6 yesterday without targeting them 😆 Great vid man
Thanks bro! Did you fish east coast or west coast? Closed season over there too?
@@VISUAL-LY West and yes. I fished with my dad and he had to release a 17” 😭
@@joeyfitzpatrickfishing painful lol
The mullet run follows the path you were fishing. We were working on the exterior of Baptist Hospital and were lucky enough to see this phenomenon! The river of mullet (yes I said river, I don't know how else to describe it!) was 150 feet wide and probably 3/4 of a mile long of nothing but mullet stacked one on top of the other passing by us. It was incredible. I had never seen anything like it. Dolphins were swimming right by them and not pursuing them at all. I don't know if the dolphin don't eat mullet or they were already full.
Must a been a site, especially from up high. Did you see any tarpon crashing the mullet schools?
@@VISUAL-LY no nothing was preying on them, I could not believe it! We were actually eating lunch on the boardwalk when they were coming through. I'm sure once they made it to the ocean, it was a different story!
👊🏾
What net do you have? that is perfect for the kayak. I also live in Jax. Love your videos
Thank you! Here’s the link to the net I bought:

Looking to get into kayaking here in Jacksonville any Facebook groups you recommend? I’ve been searching Marketplace to see if I can get a good deal. Love your videos!
Take a look at dirty duval kayakers, Northeast Florida inshore slayers, and Jacksonville Fishing report. Plenty of kayakers in those groups. I’m not very active on FB though so don’t quote me on that lol. But yeah, def should be good deals on marketplace. Good luck and appreciate the support!🤙
My guess is the bulk of the flounder may be a little closer to the inlet, I hate this closure. Lastly are those water shoes? If so who makes them. I like em and always need a new pair of wading shoes.
Yeah, they have to be closer to leaving the river by now. I prob caught some of the late ones or just smaller resident fish.
But Yeap, water shoes. Here’s the Amazon link:

Ik a spot from land downtown where you can catch bigger trout and flounder like 20 plus inches trout on live mullet and mud minnows
Take me lol
what fish ruler is that?
It’s made by yakattack. It’s on my Amazon page if you need a quick link
What software program do you use to edit your videos?
iMovie
I wonder if those rocks and the fuller warren hold any sheepshead
Oh yea they do, it’s one of my family spots. We’ve been tearing it up there the last couple weeks.
I’m gonna grab some fids and go look for some in the same areas
@@neilrosch6656 I appreciate the reply. I was just out yesterday at the jetties. Perfect day but man that current was ripping. Had to use 2oz just to hold. Always seen the rocks but just never thought about it.
@@VISUAL-LY lmk man and I’ll explore with you. This is the guy with the skiff that fished with Non and y’all a few weeks back. I was hoping to get back out tomorrow and it’s not looking good lol. Maybe one day next week I can run there before work and explore a little.
@@DuvalJag6 you and your 2 boys were in the skiff?
Caught a few small flounders behind the closed fence under the bridge.😅 Wasn't brave enough to get in the water with the tide moving😅 .
Felt your pain when the fatty got away broh!
Bro, you really do fish everywhere lol! After I made this video, I heard I missed some sheepshead spots so def will be back and try for them
Are you bouncing off bottom or just rise and fall on a cadence?
I’m always bouncing off bottom. But more so if targeting flounder and reds!
👊🏾
