JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – June 18 is National Go Fishing Day!
Florida, known as the “Fishing Capital of the World,” boasts more world record fish catches than any other state or country due to its vast bodies of water.
During our Jax Best campaign, the Annual Anglers for a Cure Inshore Slam Fishing Tournament won “Jacksonville’s best fishing tournament ” and Team Buck Rogers won “Jacksonville’s best fishing charter .”
How have you enjoyed the sport in the past? We want to see it all, whether it’s photos out on the boat or your favorite fishing spot.
