Coverage Area:  Northeast Florida from Fernandina south to Jacksonville and St. Augustine.

Species Targeted:    While Captain Chris can consistently target any of the fish that patrol the waters of Jacksonville, Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island, his specialty lies with Bull Redfish, Sea Trout, Flounder, Tarpon, Striped Bass and Black Bass.
