Fishing in Daytona Beach

A Daytona Beach fishing charter lives up to the city’s fast and furious reputation. The coast’s diverse waterways include the Atlantic Ocean, Halifax River, and St. Johns River, giving saltwater and freshwater anglers ample opportunities to hook into trophy fish. You’ll be racing to the boat ramp to make the most of what this “Fun Coast” city has to offer!

Head into the Halifax River and hook into massive Bull Redfish and Gator Trout. This productive inshore waterway is also home to the likes of Sheepshead, Tarpon, and Jack Crevalle. If you’re hoping to hook into Florida’s state freshwater fish, travel inland and explore the St. Johns River. It’s home to arguably the most productive Largemouth Bass fishery in the state.

Things are equally exciting offshore. Getting to the Gulf Stream and expansive natural and artificial reef systems does require some travel time, but it’s more than worth it. Depending on the time of year, you can expect to reel in pelagic fish including Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Sailfish, as well as a variety of Atlantic Snapper and Grouper.

A half day trip departing from boat ramps along the Halifax River gives you enough time to check out the inshore waters. If you’re heading offshore, book a full day trip or extended full day trip to get the most out of the action. For a budget-friendly alternative, hop aboard one of the party boats Daytona Beach is famous for and get a taste of the nearshore reefs.

Rules & Regulations

If you’re fishing aboard a saltwater charter, the captain's license will cover everybody on board. On freshwater trips, however, you’ll need to pick up a fishing license for all anglers between the ages of 16–64, regardless of whether you’re heading out with a captain or not. Some fish are subject to tight regulations so be sure to consult the FWC before heading out.

Daytona Beach Fishing Seasons

January

Water temperatures are still cool and staying inshore yields Redfish, Trout, Sheepshead, and Pompano. Offshore, you'll have one of your best shots at Blackfin Tuna.

February

King Mackerel start their annual migration and you'll find plenty nearshore and offshore. Offshore, hook into Blackfin Tuna and Wahoo. The Daytona 500 happens mid-month so be prepared for big crowds!

March

Spring is in the air! The waters start to warm up and there's, luring in plenty of finger mullet. This is fish favorite and your chances of hooking to Bull Redfish and Gator Trout heat up.

April

The fishing just gets better and better. Sight cast for Cobia or use your muscle power to reel in Bull Redfish and Gator Trout. In the reefs, delicious Mangrove Snapper awaits.

May

Thought April fishing was good? Just wait until May! Whether you are after Tuna, Cobia, or Redfish, everything is there for the catching. Don't miss the King of the Inlet Offshore Fishing Tournament either.

June

The Gulf Stream moves closer to shore and you can catch trophy fish without heading too far out. It's prime time for Yellowfin Tun and Wahoo out here. Look for Amberjack and Barracuda nearshore.

July

July in Daytona Beach means hot days and a chance of rain in the afternoon. It's likely Red Snapper season so make the most of this short window! Nearshore, hook into Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, and even Mahi.

August

Summer weather continues, with hot days and a chance of rain in the afternoons. The best fishing is in reefs and wrecks, where you'll hook into Grouper and Snapper searching for bait below the surface.

September

The waters are at their warmest and Daytona Beach becomes a hotspot for Tarpon! In the reefs, the Grouper and Snapper bite stays hot and you're looking at hooking your limits with ease.

October

October is a transition month. Offshore fishing heats and you can hook into Mahi Mahi and King Mackerel relatively close to shore. On a full day trip, get your hands on some Sailfish.

November

Fishing in Daytona Beach in November is all about offshore game fish. Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and King Mackerel are all biting incredibly well. Inshore, hook into Redfish and Trout.

December

If you're after big game fish it's one of the hottest times to head offshore. Inshore anglers will also have a battle on their hands with big Redfish. Other inshore bycatches include Black Drum and Sheepshead.

We caught so many fish! Wind was rough but Captain put us on fish everywhere we went. We caught a large variety of keepers as well as fish we had to release and so many that the sharks and Goliath grouper chased and gave us a run for our money. Thanks for a great time Captain. We will definitely book again!

This fishing excursion was most memorable- highlights included: catching many different kinds of fish, including a 38 inch Red fish (that we threw back cause he was too big-haha), boat-through ice cream stand, and super fantastic boat captain and son with extensive knowledge of fishing, the local area and answering every question we had! Don’t miss out- highly recommend- we are planning on going again when we are back in town.

Had a fun time fishing and had a great captain. My girlfriend had almost zero experience and the captain was very helpful. Was willing to teach her everything and by the end of the night she totally out fished me. Caught some fished and just enjoyed a beautiful night out.

As soon as we left the dock we tried our luck at some monster red drum he had marked; and then headed out to some spots he knew loaded with sheepshead we caught our limit from only 2 spots ! Had an amazing trip with amazing fishing and an amazing guide, I enjoyed every minute of it and cant wait to go again. If you’re looking to get some fish, just to catch and release or take some home for dinner this is the charter for you ! Would recommend him over and over again

Very personable and knowledgeable. Loved that he showed us how to cast, let us cast and also cast for us (our arthritis was grateful). We had a wonderful time, highly recommend Alway Something' for beginners and seasoned fishermen 👍😊 We caught sea trout, bluefish, sail catfish, ladyfish, jacks and even a poisonous catfish. It was a wonderful afternoon 😊
