NEW SMYRNA BEACH • PONCE INLET
Just off the beaches of New Smyrna Beach and around Ponce Inlet, nearshore waters are home to a wide variety of seasonal gamefish. From kingfish and cobia to tarpon and other migratory species, these trips focus on fishing productive water close to shore where changing seasons, bait and water temperatures create new opportunities throughout the year.
Nearshore fishing offers the opportunity to target some of the area’s fastest and hardest-fighting saltwater species without making a long offshore run. Most trips take place within three miles of the beach, fishing around bait schools, natural reefs, hard bottom and the waters surrounding Ponce Inlet. Depending on the season, anglers may encounter king mackerel, cobia, tarpon and other migratory gamefish.
Because nearshore fishing is closely tied to water conditions and seasonal fish movements, every trip is planned around the best opportunities available that day. Whether you’re hoping to hook a powerful king mackerel, sight cast to a cruising cobia or experience the explosive jumps of the “Silver King”, Capt. Brian Nichols tailors each charter to give you the best chance at an exciting day on the water.
Every nearshore fishing charter includes everything needed for a productive day on the water, including:
