Our trips are ideal for families, first-time anglers, serious fishermen, couples, and small groups looking to experience some of the best fishing opportunities in Central Florida.
Why Fish New Smyrna Beach?
New Smyrna Beach is one of Florida's premier fishing destinations thanks to its unique access to multiple fisheries within a short distance.
Anglers visiting the area can enjoy:
World-famous Mosquito Lagoon sight fishing
Productive grass flats and oyster bars
Ponce Inlet's year-round fishery
Nearshore reefs and wrecks
Offshore Gulf Stream opportunities
Seasonal tarpon migrations
Excellent redfish, snook, trout, and black drum fishing
The diversity of local waters means there is almost always an opportunity to find fish somewhere, regardless of the season.
New Smyrna Beach | Inshore
Shallow flats, winding creeks, mangroves, and clear water make this area ideal for inshore sight fishing. From bull redfish tailing in inches of water to flounder ambushing bait along the edges, every corner of New Smyrna holds potential.
It’s a relaxed coastal town with deep fishing roots — quiet mornings, clean water, and a community that still revolves around the tide chart.
Calm, scenic, and full of opportunity — New Smyrna’s flats and creeks are ideal for learning the fundamentals of inshore fishing.
Here, you’ll explore how tides, structure, and bait movement shape fish behavior, and you’ll practice reading water, improving your casting accuracy, and mastering light tackle techniques.
Ponce Inlet | Nearshore
Known as one of Florida’s most dynamic fisheries, Ponce Inlet is where inshore meets ocean.
It’s where tarpon roll, cobia cruise, and kingfish explode on bait schools within sight of the beach. Here, you’ll fish the same channels and ledges that have tested generations of captains — and where Eric runs most of his nearshore trips.
The lighthouse stands watch, the current rips hard, and the fish are always moving. Where river meets ocean, Ponce Inlet teaches anglers the power of current, patience, and precision. It’s a natural training ground for learning how to present baits in moving water, target larger species like tarpon and cobia, and handle fish safely in heavier conditions.
You’ll learn how timing, tide cycles, and water clarity can turn an average spot into a productive one — lessons that apply anywhere you fish.
Beyond the Inlet | Offshore
When the weather allows, we move offshore — not just to catch bigger fish, but to understand the deeper patterns that drive Florida’s coastal fishery.
From learning how to read sonar for bait schools to identifying bottom structure that holds snapper, grouper, or mahi, these trips offer a hands-on look at how ocean systems work.
When the weather allows, we push farther — chasing pelagics and reef species in the offshore waters of the Atlantic.
Mahi, wahoo, snapper, and grouper — it’s big water fishing for anglers ready to test themselves.
Even a few miles off the beach, you’ll feel how wild and alive this coast still is.
