New Smyrna Beach Inshore Saltwater Fishing
We have some fantastic fishing going on now! Tarpon season is almost her also! Captain Drew Cavanaugh, welcomes you to Florida Inshore Fishing Charters! He runs fishing trips in Mosquito Lagoon backcountry, Ponce Inlet nearshore, Port Canaveral nearshore, Halifax Indian River Daytona, and Orlando saltwater backcountry flats year round. Capt. Drew has been fishing in the area eve since 1980, so there’s hardly a spot he doesn’t know of. He equally accommodates both novices and experienced anglers, so there’s something for everyone.
Join Capt. Drew on his 21 foot Pathfinder Bay boat that accommodates up to 6 anglers at times. Conditions apply. This flats bay boat is powered by a new 150 HP Yamaha engine and equipped with GPS, VHF radio, and fish finder. The boat also features a live-well bait tank, a YETI cooler, and a wireless Minn Kota trolling motor, when you need to sneak up on fish with spot lock.
Since Capt. Drew specializes in backcountry water flats fishing and nearshore reef fishing you’ll mainly go after fish using light spin tackle. Targeted species are for Tarpon, Snappers, Redfish, Pompano, Whiting, Jacks, Lady Fish, Cobia, Snapper, Tripletail, Snook, Sea Trout, and Black Drum.
Capt. Drew will fully cover your saltwater fishing licenses and equipment, and he usually prepares live bait in advance. He can also bring fly fishing equipment for you, just make sure to mention this in advance. There’s going to be fresh bottled water on the boat but you can always bring other beverages you prefer and your snacks. Just no glass please.
Florida Inshore Fishing Charters is a family-friendly charter, so bring your kids if they are at least 4 years old. Choose a date and spend a lovely, relaxing day on the flats!
