Northeast Florida


Northeast Florida is home to some awesome fishing opportunities.  This part of Florida is more fun to visit from spring through fall.  The fishing can be good in the winter as well, but this is the part of Florida with the coolest water temperatures due it being located farther north and on the Atlantic Ocean.  The warmer temperatures from late spring through fall will attract more visitors and the fishing is very good during this time of year as well.

In this part of Florida, you have access to beaches, inshore fishing with several rivers, good offshore fishing options, plenty of lodging, big city life, plenty of parks and outdoor recreational opportunities as well.
