Fishing Piers in Jacksonville

9 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Fishing piers are among the easiest ways to get on the water without a boat - a stable platform out over the surf or a bay, often with railings, benches, lights for night fishing and a bait shop nearby. Many public piers are free to walk and fish, while some municipal and private piers charge a modest daily fishing fee, and a state saltwater or freshwater license may still be required depending on the pier and state. They are a favorite for families and beginners because the access is simple and you can catch a real variety of species right from the deck. The listings here help you find piers by city and state, with what to expect on arrival.

FAQ

Fishing Piers in Jacksonville - common questions

How many fishing piers are there in Jacksonville? +
Lure Compass lists 9 listings for fishing piers in Jacksonville, FL.
Who has the best-rated fishing piers in Jacksonville? +
By Google review volume, Dames Point Fishing Pier is the most-reviewed fishing piers listing in Jacksonville (4.3★, 131 reviews). Rankings follow review count, not paid placement.
Do you need a license to fish off a pier? +
It depends on the pier and the state. Some public piers operate under a blanket license that covers everyone fishing from them, while at others each angler needs their own state license. Check the pier operator or your state wildlife agency for the specific rule before you fish.
Are fishing piers free? +
Many public piers are free to fish, but some municipal and privately run piers charge a daily fishing fee, and there may be a separate parking cost. Fees, hours and any license requirement vary by location - confirm with the pier before you go.
What can you catch from a fishing pier? +
That varies by region and season, and pier regulars are usually happy to share what is biting. Reviews and listings here can point you to well-reviewed piers by city and state, but the pier operator or a nearby bait shop is your best source for current conditions and what is running.
How much does a fishing charter cost in Jacksonville? +
Most Jacksonville charters run about $450-$1,200. Half-day inshore trips on the St. Johns and around the jetties sit at the low end, while full-day offshore runs for snapper, grouper and mahi, and private boats, reach the top. Confirm the all-in price with the operator.
What can you catch around the Mayport jetties? +
The Mayport jetties and the St. Johns River hold redfish, speckled trout and flounder through much of the year, plus big sheepshead on the rocks in winter. It is prime inshore structure. Ask your captain to target the jetties if you want a shot at all three.
Can you do both inshore and offshore fishing out of Jacksonville? +
Yes, that mix is what makes Jacksonville stand out. Inshore trips fish the river, marshes and jetties for reds and trout, while offshore runs from Mayport chase kingfish, snapper, grouper and mahi. Decide which style you want and the captain will set up the trip.
What is the best season to fish Jacksonville? +
Redfish and trout are catchable year-round inshore, with winter adding sheepshead at the jetties. Kingfish fire up nearshore in spring and fall, and summer offers the best window for offshore mahi and bottom fishing on calmer seas. Season shapes whether inshore or offshore fishes best.
