Inshore Fishing


Amelia Island has some awesome inshore fishing available. This area has tons of backwater to fish with the rivers and creeks. The inlets offer some very good fishing also during the tidal changes.  Some of the popular fish to catch inshore are redfish, sea trout, sheepshead, flounder and tarpon. However, there are so many more fish that you can catch here.

Learn more on our Amelia Island Inshore Fishing page.


Nearshore Fishing


For anglers that like to run the beaches, you have a variety of fish to target here depending on the season.  Redfish, trout and black drum can be found year round with warmer weather in the late spring and summer bringing in more species of fish such as cobia, tarpon, sharks and jacks.


Deep Sea / Offshore Fishing


Amelia Island is known more for its inshore fishing, but there is some excellent offshore fishing in the offshore waters near Amelia Island. There are some deep sea fishing charters that operate in this area that should be available to take you out on a fishing trip.  The target species will vary depending on the seasons, but some of the fish that are targeted here offshore are grouper, snapper, cobia, king mackerel, amberjack, sharks, mahi mahi, tuna, billfish, wahoo and more.

Shore Fishing


Anglers fish this area from the surf and from a popular bridge called the George Crady Bridge.  You have lots of options with the state parks here.  Fish the inlets, the rivers or the Atlantic Ocean.
