As a Jacksonville native, I have been raised inshore and offshore fishing. First Bite Fishing Charters is now booking inshore and nearshore trips. I have the knowledge and dedication to put you on the Fish. With the weather warming up, this is a great time to book a trip with many different species to target. Redfish, Trout, Sheepshead, Cobia, Kingfish and huge Black Drum are here right now. My passion for fishing will ensure a trip of a lifetime!
