Have a fun and productive fishing day with Down South Fishing Company. While exploring the inshore, nearshore, and offshore waters of New Smyrna Beach in Florida, you’ll have the chance to catch many interesting fish species as well as enjoy the gorgeous beauty of the area. Captain William McNutt will keep you company and give you any help you need to have a pleasant experience on the water.

Your journey will start on a 26’ Parker cuddy cabin that can accommodate 6 anglers. It runs on a twin 200 HP Suzuki engine and has got quality GPS, fishfinder, and radio systems for safe and efficient navigation. It’s equipped with downriggers, outriggers, and livewell, and there’s an ice-box to store your fish and drinks. On board will also be a first mate to give you any help you may need.

There’s plenty of various fish you can catch. There’s Jack Crevalle, Mahi Mahi, Black Seabass, Red Snapper, Wahoo, and many other interesting species. Using light and heavy tackle, you’ll have the chance to try out different fishing styles, including bottom and deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, as well as jigging. The boat’s family-friendly so children are welcome to join in. You can choose whether you’ll keep the fish you catch or release it back to the water.

Captain William provides all rods, reels, and terminal tackle, as well as live bait and lures. He’s also got you covered for fishing licenses, so the only thing you’ll need to bring is some food and drinks to stay energized throughout the trip.

Come to New Smyrna Beach and embark on a fishing adventure with Down South Fishing Company!

Great Time
10 Hour Trip – Gulf Stream on March 5, 20244 adults
We had a great time! We went out and did the deep-sea fishing. The seas was a little rough but the captain went over and beyond and got us where we needed to go. Captain Williams was the best! We were constantly catching fish every few minutes. It seemed like Captain Williams knew where all the fish were and we caught plenty of fish. We caught many varieties of fish. We can’t wait to go again. Thanks to Captain William and his mate for making the trip great!!!!

Fishing in October
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on October 6, 20224 adults
We went fishing on 10/06/20222 and the fishing was great! This was less than a week after Hurricane Ian. Captian William explained to us everything we were fishing for, how to catch them, and was very helpful. We were catching fish the whole time, mostly red vermillion and a few other types. The fish were on the smaller side but fun. When we asked about larger fish, Captian William moved locations and we caught some big fish but we could not keep them due to being out of season. Overall a great time and would highly recommend! Three of us went fishing which was awesome the perfect number. We could have had 4 people no problem but 3 was great. We never crossed lines or got delayed due to tackle issues. We fished approximately 19 miles offshore and the seas were very manageable.

Half Day with Captain Eric
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on April 8, 20232 adults2 children
Amazing experience for our Family! Captain Eric was super fun and friendly, great with our kids (10&11). He taught the kids how to fish. Probably caught 20 fish in 4 hours time. Captain Eric cleaned the fish for us and we took them to a local restaurant to have them cooked on his recommendation. We will 100% book again in the future!

Fishing with William
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on October 14, 20213 adults
Captain William and his First Mate Sam made this a very special day for my son. William knew that this trip was for my son and he spent a lot of time explaining things to us, and really helped my son learn techniques fishing the Intercostal waters. Sam and Jackson were pals during the time we were on the water, Sam rarely left his side. Jackson has not stopped talking about this trip and he will not for years to come. While we didn't catch any big fish, we did catch quite a variety and and a lot of it. This was a perfect introduction to saltwater fishing for my son and it was just as memorable as catching a big one. We will be back soon, and hopefully Captain William will be available when we are. Thanks for the memories Captain William and Sam!
