Whether it&rsquo;s on the race tracks or out on the ocean, this town will take you on the chase of a lifetime. After watching this video, you&rsquo;ll be one step closer to planning an unforgettable adventure on Florida&rsquo;s Atlantic Coast! Daytona Beach attracts millions of tourists each year.\r\n\r\nFrom the Daytona 500 to its white sandy shores, this town&rsquo;s got a little bit of something for everyone. Its incredible number of inshore and offshore fishing spots will absolutely blow your mind.\r\n\r\nOne of the great things about fishing in this area is, we got it all. We got the inlet here, there&rsquo;s only a few inlets on the east side of Florida.\r\n\r\nSo one morning we could be catching Redfish in the lagoon. Afternoon we could be catching Sailfish and Mahi offshore.\r\n\r\nThis area has a very, very good versatility of different species and it&rsquo;s very migratory here. So, one part of the month we may have a really good Cobia bite, then the very next part of the month we&rsquo;ll have an outstanding Kingfish bite.\r\n\r\nYear-round here, we have a really good Snapper bite, which is the Red Snapper, just unreal. I mean today, I think we got 60 Red Snapper, just today, and I went and had a five-hour trip. So I mean it was just, hit the bottom, boom! Red Snapper!\r\n\r\nAbout 25 miles from the shore, sits one of the most productive reef systems on the entire East Coast.\r\n\r\nThe Oculina Bank is a long stretch of coral reefs that supports a wide variety of aquatic species. You can target both pelagic and groundfish, ranging from Grouper and Snapper to Amberjack and Kingfish. This makes it a great spot for beginners who are looking to start out with techniques such as drifting and bottom fishing.\r\n\r\nIf you&rsquo;re planning on bringing your kids, this is the perfect way to keep them entertained for an entire day while having some fun yourself!\r\n\r\nYou can pick a charter to take you even further and troll the deep blue waters of the Atlantic for Wahoo, Mahi, and Sailfish. Both Daytona Beach and Ponce Inlet have lots of offshore charters that will take you on the ultimate chase and put you on some of the biggest fish you&rsquo;ve ever seen!\r\n\r\nThe offshore fishing just opens up the game.\r\n\r\nYou&rsquo;re going to throw the exact same bait down and you can catch a little half-pound Grunt to a five-hundred-pound Shark. Big Goliath Grouper, you can catch Sailfish, Kingfish, Snappers of all different varieties. So it just makes a little bit more exciting to know that every time you drop the pole in you could be landing a really big fish.\r\n\r\nIf you opt for staying inshore, you won&rsquo;t be disappointed.\r\n\r\nThe Halifax River is a brackish, lagoon-like waterway that separates Daytona Beach from its neighboring barrier island. This is an excellent choice for a half-day trip &ndash; you don&rsquo;t have to travel far and you&rsquo;ll have incredible access to Redfish, Black Drum, Flounder, and Spotted Seatrout.\r\n\r\nFlorida saltwater charters are licensed to cover everyone on board, so there&rsquo;s no need to purchase one beforehand. Rods, reels, and bait are usually included in the price as well, so be sure to pack some sun protection and bring your favorite snacks and drinks for the ride.\r\n\r\nFishingBooker makes planning your trip extra easy &ndash; with hundreds of local guides, verified reviews, and hassle-free online bookings, you&#039;ll save time and money, and experience an exciting day on the water. So go ahead and visit fishingbooker.com, take a look at some of the charters in the area, and get ready to start planning your adventure today!<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/wistia-player><p><\/p><p class=\"text-after-video\">Sitting on <a href=\"https:\/\/fishingbooker.com\/blog\/fishing-in-florida\/\">Florida<\/a>&rsquo;s eastern coast, this Atlantic-facing city has access to a range of diverse waters. Head into the ocean for big pelagic fish or opt to explore the Halifax River for a range of inshore species. You can even get your hands on freshwater fish in the prolific St. Johns River, located a short drive inland.&nbsp;<\/p><p>With plenty of marinas, piers, and beaches you can drive on, you&rsquo;re spoiled for choice. Below, we&rsquo;ve outlined a few notable fish, productive areas, and some basic rules and regulations for good measure.<\/p><h2 id=\"best-fish-to-catch-in-daytona-beach\">Best Fish to Catch in Daytona Beach<\/h2><p>Party on the beach, party in the waters! Daytona Beach&rsquo;s fish stock is a real mixed bag. What&#8217;s biting in Daytona Beach? It could be anything from &#8220;Bull&#8221; <strong>Redfish<\/strong>, &#8220;Gator&#8221; <strong>Trout<\/strong>, <strong>Pompano<\/strong> and monster <strong>Tarpon<\/strong> inshore, all the way out to <strong>Snappers<\/strong>, <strong>Groupers<\/strong>, deep sea <strong>Tuna, Mahi Mahi<\/strong>, and <strong>Sailfish<\/strong>. All you&#8217;ll need to decide is where you want to go. Let&#8217;s dive in!<\/p><h3 id=\"redfish-and-spotted-seatrout\">Redfish and Spotted Seatrout<\/h3><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/fishingbooker-prod-blog-backup.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/media\/2020\/07\/14145155\/Bull-Redfish-3.jpg\" alt=\"A male angler holding a Bull Redfish on a boat\" class=\"wp-image-16857\"><\/figure><p>Florida&rsquo;s Eastern Coast is revered for incredible inshore fishing, and Daytona Beach is no exception. Two of its most famous shallow-water residents are no doubt Redfish and Spotted Seatrout. Not only can you hook into these delicious table fish <strong>year-round<\/strong>, but you&rsquo;ll also have your shot at &#8220;Bulls&#8221; and &#8220;Gators.&#8221;<\/p><p>What that really means is exceptionally large fish. Bull Redfish in the Daytona Beach area typically come in at between 20&ndash;50+ pounds. Your best bet for these monsters is to head into the waters in <strong>late fall<\/strong> with your heavy tackle at the ready. Gator Trout can reach up to 40 inches in length. Just make sure you stay stealthy &ndash; these fish are easily spooked. <\/p><p>You can hook into both of these species far and wide but they especially love structures and bridges. Head into the <strong>south end of the Halifax River<\/strong>, where it starts to drain into the Atlantic, and success is pretty much guaranteed.<\/p><h3 id=\"tarpon\">Tarpon<\/h3><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/fishingbooker-prod-blog-backup.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/media\/2020\/07\/14145153\/Tarpon-Daytona-Beach.jpg\" alt=\"A male angler releasing a large Tarpon in the Halifax River\" class=\"wp-image-16897\"><\/figure><p>Tarpon fishing is synonymous with Florida, and that applies to Daytona Beach fishing too. Considered by many to be the ultimate inshore game fish, the &#8220;Silver King&#8221; will test your patience. While you can hook into juvenile Tarpon <strong>year-round in the Halifax River<\/strong>, Florida&rsquo;s eastern coast becomes a hotspot for trophy-sized fish in <strong>September and October<\/strong>.<\/p><p>To prepare yourself for the battle that will ensue, you&rsquo;ll need to gear up with either spinning tackle or fly gear. These fish prefer live bait but if you&rsquo;re using artificial, gator spoons are a great choice. When choosing a fly, go for bright colors to contrast the bottom. Tarpon have excellent vision so heading out during low light is your best chance for fooling these fish.<\/p><div class='featured-charters-container' data-trigger='featured-charters' data-destination-id='203' data-destination-title='Daytona Beach' data-perpage='4' data-currency='USD'data-filter-field='fishFilter'data-filter-value='tarpon'data-headline='Top Tarpon Fishing Charters in Daytona Beach'data-add-type='m'><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/p><h3 id=\"pompano\">Pompano<\/h3><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/fishingbooker-prod-blog-backup.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/media\/2020\/07\/14145155\/Pompano.jpg\" alt=\"A male angler with a Pompano aboard a charter boat in Daytona Beach\" class=\"wp-image-16858\"><\/figure><p>If you&rsquo;re an angler who loves fishing from the surf, there&rsquo;s probably no fish you like to see more than Pompano. Not only does it taste great, it fights hard and will make you work for your dinner. These flat, silvery fish are powerful swimmers and come in at around four pounds, though they can grow to over eight!<\/p><p>Pompano makes two annual runs that vary depending on water temperatures. In the winter, these fish migrate south, hitting Daytona Beach anywhere <strong>between January and March<\/strong>. In the summer, they head back north and your best months are usually <strong>September and October<\/strong>. <\/p><h3 id=\"largemouth-bass\">Largemouth Bass<\/h3><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/fishingbooker-prod-blog-backup.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/media\/2020\/07\/14145155\/Largemouth-Bass-6.jpg\" alt=\"A male angler holding a Largemouth Bass caught in St. Johns River\" class=\"wp-image-16862\"><\/figure><p>Fishing in Daytona Beach isn&rsquo;t limited to the coast. Heading inland to the <strong>St. Johns River<\/strong> or<strong> George Lake <\/strong>gives you a taste of fishing for Florida&rsquo;s state freshwater specimen &ndash; Largemouth Bass. These fish love to munch on eelgrass and, as a result, you&rsquo;ll find plenty in the grassy flats lining the river and lake.<\/p><p>If you&rsquo;re after a trophy-sized Bass weighing in at over 10 pounds, you&rsquo;re in the right place. For your best shot, pair light tackle gear with shiners or a fly. Best of all, these fisheries thrive <strong>year-round<\/strong>.
