Saltwater Fishing Guide - East Coast - New Smyrna Beach

If saltwater fishing in is on your bucket list, look no further than Slick Calm Charters. With Captain Brian at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Around here it's common to catch Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum, Tarpon, Snook, and more, depending on the season. During the trip you might be spinning, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Young ones are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

Your adventure begins aboard a 23' Pathfinder bay boat that holds up to 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Slick Calm Charters.

Fishing with Brian
6 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 23, 20262 adults

We caught our limit of flounder, three red drums which were too big to keep and several small fish that we released or kept for bait. Captain Brian took us several places, not wasting any time in places where the fish didn’t bite nor rushing us when they were.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on July 9, 20263 adults

Captain Brian was super great with communication before i even booked the trip, which i really appreciated! We did a nearshore 4 hour morning trip and Captain Brian did a wonderful job of putting us onto fish right away. We caught a few big red fish and a big snook, would definitely book with him again!
