Reel in the Action: Inshore Fishing New Smyrna Beach

Looking to hook into some of Florida's most sought-after inshore species? You've come to the right place. Central Florida Fishing Charters is offering a 4-hour inshore fishing trip that'll have you casting for bull redfish, snook, tarpon, and more in the rich waters of New Smyrna Beach. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, Captain Jordan's got you covered with all the gear and know-how you need for a successful day on the water.

Trip Overview

From September 1st through February 1st, we're running daily charters that kick off at 8:00 AM sharp. This private trip is perfect for groups of up to 6, so grab your fishing buddies or bring the family along. We'll spend our time exploring the productive inshore waters, targeting spots where the fish are biting. Light tackle fishing is the name of the game here, and we provide all the rods, reels, and bait you'll need. Plus, no need to worry about licenses - we've got that covered too. And if plans change? No sweat. We offer free cancellation with 24-hour notice, so you can book with confidence.

What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard, Captain Jordan will give you the rundown on the day's game plan. We'll likely start by hitting some of the local hot spots - grass flats, oyster bars, and mangrove shorelines where the fish love to hang out. Depending on the tides and conditions, we might do some drift fishing or anchor up on a productive spot. Light tackle fishing is all about finesse, so we'll show you how to work your bait or lure to entice those bites. Don't worry if you're new to this style of fishing - we'll walk you through everything from casting to setting the hook. And when you do hook up? Get ready for some drag-screaming action as these inshore fighters put your skills to the test!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"Captain Jordan has been very dedicated to satisfy our needs. He took care about equipment and proper conditions to be able to catch fishes by all of us. Nice atmosphere. Good music in background. I must admit that Captain has been working all the time checking everything and preparing fishing rods for us. And at the end he also has cleaned our fishes, so we hope to have a very tasty dinner tonight." - Nelly Justyna

"We finally got our weather window! Capt. Jordan and Capt. Eric had us hooked up before we even had a full spread out! It was pretty much non stop action all day with multiple species. We had an absolute blast! Great knowledgeable guys, dry, comfortable , capable boat, and we were on the fish!" - Len

"Always good fishing with captain Jordan! Can catch just about anything!" - Allen

Species You'll Want to Hook

Snook: These hard-fighting linesiders are a favorite among Florida anglers. Known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps, snook can be found lurking around structure like mangroves and docks. They're most active during the warmer months, but we can still find them year-round. The thrill of battling a big snook on light tackle is something you won't soon forget.

Black Drum: Often overlooked but always fun to catch, black drum are the bulldogs of the inshore world. These powerful fish use their pharyngeal teeth to crush crabs and shellfish, so we'll often target them with natural baits. They can grow to impressive sizes, with some drum topping 50 pounds! Even the smaller ones put up a great fight, and they're excellent table fare too.

Tarpon: Known as the "Silver King," tarpon are the ultimate inshore game fish. These prehistoric-looking creatures can grow over 100 pounds and are famous for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. We typically see them more in the warmer months, but lucky anglers might encounter them year-round. Landing a tarpon is a true feat of angling skill - it's all about the experience rather than keeping them for the table.

Sheepshead: Don't let their striped, almost comical appearance fool you - sheepshead are clever fish and notoriously tricky to hook. They have strong, human-like teeth perfect for crushing barnacles and crabs. We often find them around structures like pilings and oyster bars. The bite can be subtle, but once hooked, sheepshead put up a surprisingly good fight for their size. They're also delicious, making them a popular target for anglers looking to bring home dinner.
