Captain Bach Charters welcomes you to the productive and beautiful waters of Mosquito Lagoon and New Smyrna Beach. Starting out of Edgewater, Oakhill, or the Merrit Island National Wildlife Refuge, you'll have the chance to fish near the coast as well as explore the beautiful flats and backcountry waters of the famed Mosquito Lagoon. Captain Hunter Bach caters to anglers of all experience levels, whether you are an astute fly fisherman or a total beginner. A skilled and dedicated angler, he's even been published in Florida Sportsman and Shallow Water Angler for his perspectives on fishing in the area.

The boat you will use for your trip is a restored 16’ Maverick Mirage flats boat with room for up to 2 guests. It runs on a 90 HP Tohatsu Direct Injection engine and uses GPS and a fishfinder. It also features a livewell and an ice-box.

You will launch from the George R. Kennedy Memorial Park boat ramp in Edgewater or the River Breeze Boat ramp in Oakhill and fish the flats and backcountry for Redfish, Trout, Snook, and more, as well as Tarpon seasonally, with fly or spin tackle. The captain specializes in sight fishing the shallow flats of Mosquito Lagoon and will pole you through low mangrove and cabbage palm islands where you will quite literally hunt for game fish cruising the flats.

Captain Hunter will supply you with all the fishing equipment and you do not need to purchase a fishing license to fish on his boat. You just need to bring some food and drinks!

Spend a day fishing with Capt. Bach Charters and have a fishing trip to remember.

Six Hour Charter Fishing with Capt. Hunter Bach

Captain Hunter Bach was a true professional. He taught us so much about fishing in our short time together. He knows the fish, where they are and what they like to eat. We truly enjoyed our fishing trip and caught several large fish including a 40-50 pound Tarpon, Flounder, Amberjack and more. He was so patient and helpful in baiting and releasing our catches. I would recommend Captain Bach to anyone whether just learning to fish all the way up to the pros! He is highly skilled at fresh water as well as soft water charters. Choose him...you will not regret it!!

We had a great time on the water with Capt. Hunter. He was prompt and professional the whole trip. We caught copious fish and saw manatees, dolphin, turtles and rays.
