Light Tackle Saltwater Fishing Near Orlando 

Summer is here!! Awesome!!! Captain Drew Cavanaugh, welcomes you to Florida Inshore Fishing Charters! He runs fishing trips in New Smyrna Beach backcountry, Ponce Inlet nearshore, Port Canaveral nearshore, Daytona, and Orlando saltwater backcountry flats year-round. Capt. Drew has been fishing in the area 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 certain times, please be sure to ask about this in advance. 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.

Since Capt. Drew specializes in backcountry 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.
