Get Hooked on New Smyrna Beach Fishing

Ready to wet a line in some of Florida's most fish-rich waters? Our 4-hour charter in New Smyrna Beach puts you right where the action is. Whether you're chasing monster redfish in the Indian River or sight-casting to tailing black drum in Mosquito Lagoon, this trip delivers non-stop angling excitement. We provide all the gear, so you can focus on what matters - filling the cooler and making memories on the water.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as we push off from the dock, you'll feel the excitement building. Our seasoned captains know these waters like the back of their hand, and they're itching to put you on fish. We'll cruise through the calm inshore waters, keeping an eye out for signs of life - maybe a pod of mullet getting busted by hungry snook, or the telltale "tails" of redfish feeding in the shallows. Once we find a promising spot, it's time to break out the rods and start casting. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, our guides will make sure you're set up for success. And with species like tarpon, snook, and black drum on the menu, every cast could lead to the catch of a lifetime.

Techniques & Tackle Talk

On this trip, we'll use a mix of live bait and artificial lures to target the inshore slam - redfish, trout, and snook. Depending on conditions, we might be sight-casting to tailing reds in skinny water, or working deep channels for monster snook. Our captains are masters of reading the water and adjusting tactics on the fly. We'll rig up with light to medium spinning gear, perfect for feeling those subtle bites and battling hard-fighting fish in close quarters. Don't worry if you're new to this style of fishing - our guides are patient teachers and will have you casting like a pro in no time.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"We were on the fish right away and hit our limit early in the trip. Captain Neal was friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly knows his stuff. It was a great day on the water from start to finish." - Gregory "Captain Neal really knows these waters and how to find the fish. The bite started off slow, but after a few moves, he had us reeling in some quality trout. He worked hard to make it happen, and I'd definitely fish with him again." - William

Species You'll Want to Hook

Snook: These hard-fighting linesiders are the crown jewels of inshore fishing. Snook love to ambush prey around structure, so we'll target them near mangroves, docks, and bridges. They're known for explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps, making them a favorite among anglers. The best time to target snook is during the warmer months, from spring through fall.

Black Drum: These bulldogs of the flats can grow to massive sizes, with some monsters topping 50 pounds. We often find them tailing in shallow water, rooting for crabs and shrimp. Black drum fight with powerful, determined runs that will test your tackle and your stamina. They're available year-round, but the biggest fish show up in late winter and early spring.

Tarpon: Known as the "Silver King," tarpon are the ultimate gamefish. These prehistoric giants can reach lengths of over 6 feet and weights well over 100 pounds. Hooking a tarpon is just the beginning - their gill-rattling jumps and long, powerful runs make for an unforgettable battle. We typically target tarpon from late spring through summer when they migrate through our waters.

Redfish: With their copper-colored scales and distinctive spot near the tail, redfish are a sight to behold. They're aggressive feeders, often creating visible "pushes" of water as they chase bait in shallow areas. Redfish offer great light-tackle action and are excellent table fare. While we catch them year-round, fall is prime time for big schools of bull reds.
