Capt. Chris Myers has over 20 years guiding light tackle and fly fishing trips on the saltwater flats and backcountry waters of the Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River. One hour from Orlando & Disney, between Cocoa Beach and Daytona Beach. Sight fish for redfish, trout, and drum all year round. All licenses and tackle and provided. Great fishing all months of the year.
Sight fishing trips are for the anglers who want to experience the excitement of casting to big fish you can see in shallow water. Capt. Chris will push the boat across the flats and point out targets for the angler(s) on the bow. Catching success for this type of fishing is usually directly related to casting skill. These trips are generally not recommended for kids or inexperienced anglers.
If weather conditions do not allow for sight fishing these trips may require repeated casting to cover water and find fish using lures. Redfish, drum, and seatrout are the most common species and can be caught with all year long.
Fly fishing trips for redfish, drum, trout, and tarpon are offered as well. Capt. Chris is a FFI certified fly casting instructor. Top quality fly fishing equipment is provided or you can bring your own. Anglers should have at least basic casting skills as our fish usually require quick accurate casts of 30-50ft with a 7wt rod.
The 4 hour Live Bait easy catching trip is great for kids, people with little or no experience, or during high wind conditions, we can fish the extreme backcountry of northern Mosquito Lagoon in the protected cuts and channels. using shrimp as bait. Action is steady and consistent and yields a variety of species from redfish and trout to sharks, jacks, bluefish, and snapper and much more.
In addition to the fishing, you can see a wide variety of wildlife as well from manatee and dolphins to turtles, stingrays and birds. See these animals closeup in their natural environment.
All trips are catch and release only.
