What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Fernandina Beach, Florida for the first time?

Definitely Sliders restaurant and grill for breakfast before the trip there's time to catch a nice sunrise before the trip. Definitely take your fresh caught cash to restaurant 251 they will prepare for you.

In spite of the Covid 19 virus the people we encountered in Fernandina Beach were all friendly and helpful. The Marina was undergoing a major renovation but that didn't keep us from having a great time and catching some nice trout. If your going in the summer go early in the morning as it gets pretty hot later in the day. Captain Brian was very patient with our two teenage grandsons and we had a great trip. We hope to return in the fall when the reds are in full swing but anytime is a good time to take someone fishing. Especially a youngster. God bless you all Skip and Kristy Christie, Hawthorne, Fl

Do your homework, and except your limitations. Our Capt put us on some fun bottom fishing. I use a cane and have awful balance issues. He took us to places that weren't rough, made us fee very much.If not sure ask for Capt Keith. Boat was immaculate. And with 300hp he can get you where you want. Tight Lines to all.

Because of the weather, we couldn't go out and had to stay in the river. So I can only comment on the river fishing. We didn't catch anything that we could keep or eat so we came home empty handed. The locals say it's not the best time to fish. The kids wanted to catch sharks, which we did and that was very exciting.

The boat and Captain were great! The weather was not! The Captain took us to 4 or 5 sites and we caught 3 small whiting. It just wasn't a good day to be on the water...cold, windy and rainy, but it was still fun. The Captain cannot control the weather!

Get with Capt. Patrick for a great time. When I told him that I was wanting to fish for reds and trout he had no problem and made no hesitation on where to go. The weather was nice. A little cool in the morning but warmed up just enough to make it comfortable.

Don’t come with expectations, different fish hit at different times and seasons. We caught fish and had a great time but just not what we were expecting keep that in mind!

Book for the day! It's never long enough! Thank you Captin Keith for a great trip!

If you are fishing for the first time in Fernandina Beach, look up Captain Bennett and Liberty Sport Fishing. He will put you on the fish and make your day a very memorable one.

Book a trip with Captain Keith!! We had a great time and he was extremely helpful ! We will definitely book again !

Bring youngsters to enjoy their delight in catching any kind and any size of fish. It is far better than catching them yourself.

It will be a hot day for sure so make sure you have appropriate clothes sunscreen and lots of water!

Book with Captain Scott. The Captain and Mate are a good team that will put you on fish, and do whatever it takes to be successful.

Good fishing as long as you understand or have fishing history that weather, fresh water from rain, tides and time of day will affect the bite. It’s fishing not catching

Every kind of fish that we caught was with shrimp! Shrimp is king in Fernandina Beach!

Definitely use Captain Scott. Very knowledgeable, and a great trip for our grandkids. Thank you.

The king mackerel was an amazing fishing experience.looking forward to a bottom trip next!!
