Perhaps they have dredged the channel lately and Ben has updated info. Several years ago I bumped the bottom approaching the entrance at the most offshore pair of red/green buoys with my 8 feet of draft. We turned around and went back to Mayport to enter.
Later I went out with my dingy (with installed depth finder) and checked it out. I did find 7 feet just outside the first pair but deeper water if I went south of the first green marker about 150 feet then back into the channel where it was OK all the way in. Perhaps entering at high tide would be safest.
