The spring brings warmer waters and more fish into this area.  Anglers catch the usual fish such as redfish, sheepshead, sea trout, flounder, whiting and black drum.  They also see bluefish, tarpon, cobia and more sharks in the area.


Fishing Amelia Island in the Summer


Month Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo)
June 88° / 72°
July 90° / 74°
August 89° / 74°

In the summer, you can catch so many different fish.  Inshore, expect to see the usual redfish, sea trout, flounder, whiting, black drum and sheepshead.  Also, you may find amberjack, grouper, mahi mahi, wahoo, cobia and more.


Fishing Amelia Island in the Fall


Month Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo)
September 85° / 72°
October 79° / 64°
November 72° / 54°

In the fall, the mullet run gets into full swing as these fish move down the coast into Florida.  The bigger fish will follow these mullet along the beaches and into the inlets in this area.  The fishing in the fall can be some of the best all year long if you find yourself in the right spot at the right time.  As the water temperatures cool later in the fall, there will be less species to target, but still some very good fishing for the species that are still around.


Fishing Amelia Island in the Winter


Month Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo)
December 66° / 48°
January 63° / 44°
February 65° / 46°

The cooler winter months can still provide some very good fishing, but the variety will be much less than in the late spring through early fall.  Typically, sea trout, redfish and flounder will still be biting inshore and in the inlets.  Offshore on the reefs and wrecks, charters will be targeting sea bass and sheepshead.
