Fishing in New Smyrna

New Smyrna Fishing Charters are available for deep-sea, freshwater, and inshore fishing have long been renowned way beyond the Sunshine State. These waters are brimming with the likes of Snook, Redfish, and Tarpon inshore, shark, mahi-mahi, kingfish, and jack offshore and, of course, trophy largemouth bass during most of the year. With a wide range of other species to keep you busy on even the slowest days of fishing.

There’s such a variety of species cruising the New Smyrna waters year-round, you’d be seriously hard-pressed to find a local fishing guide that recalls the last time the clients came back from the trip empty-handed. The sandy beaches line countless miles of waterways, Ponce de Leon Inlet, Indian River, and Mosquito Lagoon. Florida’s Intracoastal Waterway and the Indian River draws a whole ecosystem right by the town’s doorstep.

Paradice is in New Smyrna Beach

It’s easy to get lost in the town of New Smyrna – in the right way. Florida’s minutes from downtown, you can explore an abundance of deep creeks, channels, oyster bars, mangrove islands, bridges, and causeways to fish. Many of the locations you will find the most extraordinary inshore New Smyrna Beach fishing experiences, as we explore the endless waters in search of the area’s famous Bull Redfish and Gator Trout. We know this is arguability; the only place in the world Redfish stays in the same spot all year round.

The beauty of these waters it places like the Mosquito Lagoon, which is a favorite destination among New Smyrna fishing charters and guides. The most incredible things taken home about a New Smyrna fishing charters are very rarely the fishing. You will view during every fishing charter, herons, pelicans, manatees, porpoises, and other wildlife.

It’s all in New Smyrna

Boating out of Ponce Inlet, you will be in some of the most beautiful and abundant waters on the east coast. This area doesn’t experience the same amount of tourism or overfishing as you find in other locations. Offshore, there are more wrecks and artificial reefs than anywhere else on the east coast. Just 25 miles offshore, you can find the Oculina Coral reefs, another hotspot for bottom fishing, for species such as Snappers, Groupers, Triggerfish, and Amberjacks.

With all this structure around, the conditions are also ideal for attracting pelagic fish. The Gulf Stream is accessible on longer day trips, and with it comes Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, King Mackerel, Wahoo, Sailfish, and even Blue Marlin on occasion. New Smyrna Fishing Charters will take out to the continental shelf dropping 40 miles offshore. Big pelagics and deep waters are undoubtedly accessible for those with the engine power to make it there and back in a day.

Freshwater fishing is all around New Smyrna, with the conditions offshore and inshore unpredictable at times, it’s always a great option. Florida is known as the trophy largemouth bass capital of the world. So if you find yourself wanting a more laid back day, or the weather has your feeling seasick, New Smyrna bass fishing is a great option.

Types of New Smyrna Fishing?

Your typical New Smyrna fishing trip can begin with casting jigs or lures around the various bridges or even live-bait in the inlet and bay. Fishing there can be rewarded with the famous Bull Red, which also lives around creeks, inlets and grass flats, and rock piles. New Smyrna is home to a good time, laid back lifestyle, and charter boats.

Looking for a fun day out with your friends and family or for a corporate outing, dozens of packages are available for you. Go for light tackle action for Redfish, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Snook, and Trout; catch Tarpon on a fly. Bottom fish for Grouper, tasty Snapper, or Amberjack. Enjoy trolling offshore for Wahoo and Mahi-Mahi. Whichever trip you have in mind, you will be able to make a great catch possible.

Seasons New Smyrna Fishing Charters 

January

With clear waters in the backcountry, winter in New Smyrna Beach is a paradise for anglers. Sight fishing is the name of the game at this time: look out for tailing Redfish making their way through the shallow waters.

February

Inshore fishing continues to be very rewarding, with beautiful blue skies and nice temperatures sending away the winter blues. Bottom fishing for Snapper, Grouper and Amberjack is very good over the reefs and wrecks.

March

As the waters warm up for spring, numbers of baitfish increase. This brings the backcountry to life. Nearshore, watch out for migrating Manta Rays – there will almost always be a Cobia following them northwards up the coastline.

April

With average temperatures between 60 and 79 degrees, April in New Smyrna beach is very comfortable. Get out on the water and make the most of the nearshore bite: Cobia, Kingfish, and Sharks are all picking up this month.

May

Escape the crowds of Orlando and enjoy a relaxed day on the water in the lagoon or the Atlantic ocean. Warmer currents offshore bring pelagics like Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and Wahoo within fishable range.

June

Tarpon fishing heats up along the beaches as the weather gets very warm. Afternoon storms are common, meaning a lot of charters will fish earlier in the morning. With calm nearshore waters, this is a perfect time for family fishing.

July

Some real rod-benders can be caught out of New Smyrna Beach in July. Summertime is perfect for battling a Shark in shallow waters close to shore or even heading offshore for Tuna and Mahi Mahi. Bottom fishing is very good.

August

Temperatures are high and afternoon storms are common. With beaches full of vacationers, this is a good time to get out onto the peaceful waters inshore or to battle a Tarpon in Ponce Inlet. Offshore fishing remains very good. 

September

The Fall Mullet run attracts migratory fish close to shore. This is the time of year for huge Bull Redfish around the beaches and inshore waters. Don’t miss the annual FishStock festival for days of tournaments, talks, and bargains. 

October

The weather begins to get cooler, while the migration southwards continues. Catch Sailfish, Kingfish, Wahoo and more offshore, or make the most of the incredible Seatrout and Redfish bite in the Indian River.

November

As the weather transitions to winter, the inshore lagoons look increasingly appealing. Speckled Seatrout, Redfish, and Snook can be caught through February, while Wahoo, Sailfish, and Kingfish are biting well offshore.

December

Bottom fishing is great at this time of year, with Snappers and Groupers moving to closer reefs and wrecks. Inshore, you will find large quantities of Sheepshead making for some fun fishing and great eating over the holiday period.

Bad day of Fishing

Service
★★★★☆
Captain was enjoyable. The fishing was a bummer on this day. Catfish and small redfish. Only kept one that was barely legal enough to take. Most fish I have ever caught, but better then going home empty handed.
