A day on the water with Southern Mayhem Fishing Charters has endless opportunities. Depending on the season, weather conditions, and what species you would like to focus on targeting, Captain Cheyne can put you on fish from up to five miles out of Port Canaveral to deep in the Thousand Islands area of Cocoa Beach.

One of the things that is unique about this charter service is the versatility in locations to fish. Places you can go fishing include the Indian River Lagoon, Banana River Lagoon, Sebastian Inlet, Port Canaveral, and the beaches in between.

Here in the Space Coast, each season presents new and exciting opportunities. It's great to pitch live and artificial baits under mangroves, docks, and other structures within the river. This tactic typically provides trophy Snook, Redfish, Trout, and Tarpon year round. This way of fishing also comes with the excitement of the unknown. You never know when a huge Snook or Redfish is going to come blowing out of a mangrove, and explode on your bait!

In the wintertime and springtime, the water quality in both lagoons typically improves, which allows for some exciting sight fishing for monster reds in the Cocoa Beach area. Sight fish Tripletail and Cobia, or go after Snook.

With Southern Mayhem Fishing Charters, something's always biting. The only question is - when are you coming?

3/4 Day Trip on June 9, 20262 adults
extremely knowledgeable, and adaptable to the conditions. Changed the location knowing the fish were further south then where we had initially plan to launch. gave us a great opportunity to catch a big snook, but unfortunately lost it on my part. After they stopped biting he switched gears and put us on some nice size Redfish. He also went out before we got there to catch bait fish, so we could spend more time fishing. Great time overall!

Great trip. Caught about a dozen fish and had a bag of filets!
Half Day Trip - 3:00 PM on January 16, 20262 adults
Had a great time with Cheyne who was on time and very personable. There were two of us for a half day PM trip in-shore. We caught a number of sheepshead and a red drum. We had a good time for a reasonable price. Highly recommend. We also fished with Capt Cole in the past and is just as good as well.
Reported catch:
Redfish
Sheepshead

Half Day Trip on December 30, 20253 adults
The weather man missed the mark but the Captain did not with the miss the mark with finding fish. He put us on fish and as soon as it would die down we moved to another spot. He kept us on the fish the whole time and we caught so many we were throwing them back.
