Birds & Boards Fishing

Birds & Boards Fishing provides inshore-based fishing charters out of New Smyrna Beach Florida and surrounding areas.

Specializing in light tackle fishing for Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Black Drum, Trout, Mangrove Snapper, and tons more species that the Indian River and Intercoastal Waterways have to offer, Capt T.J. Wisniewski has over 20 years of experience fishing the Volusia County area.

Growing up on the intercoastal down in Edgewater Florida and being able to fish from his dock at such a young age instilled a strong passion for his love of fishing. He enjoys targeting the bigger fish the river has to offer but also loves changing things up from time to time.

The charter offers a variety of options from Morning, Evening, and Nighttime trips all from 3 hours up to 6 hours. Whether you want to throw live bait or strictly artificial, Birds & Boards Fishing can make it happen for you. From the Inlet to the backwaters, it is always a fun time fishing with Capt. T.J.

He can accommodate up to 3 people for fishing on his 18’ Carolina Skiff JLS. This boat can do it all from heading out of the inlet to fish the beaches as well as getting you back into the flats for some sight fishing. The Captain has installed a Simrad fish finder, a Minn Kota trolling motor with automatic stow and deploy, as well as a poling platform that make fishing just a little easier.

What to bring- I will supply all the fishing licenses and will have a cooler for fish and a cooler with ice/water. You may bring any food/drink you want other than glass bottles.

Book your next trip today with Capt. T.J. from Birds & Boards fishing and get ready for an awesome experience fishing the beautiful waters of New Smyrna beach and surrounding areas.
