Looking to take a break from Daytona Beach’s party vibes? On a Flagler Beach fishing excursion, you’ll feel as though you’ve traveled further than just 20 miles from the hustle and bustle of city life. This laid-back town may be small, but it’s home to 6 miles of pristine, peaceful beaches, and is surrounded by the Intracoastal Waterway, the Atlantic, and plenty of skinny creeks and rivers.
If you’re looking for some inshore action, your fishing guide will take you to the shallow waters of the Intracoastal Waterway, as well as the many salt and brackish water creeks and lagoons nearby. You can cast your line for huge Redfish, Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, Snook, and Black Drum. In the summer months, avid anglers can realize their dream of bowing to the “Silver King,” as the flats are bustling with Tarpon!
There are also world-famous saltwater species waiting to greet you further from shore. Gigantic Red Snapper, Cobia, Amberjack, King Mackerel, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi may appear at the end of your line. You’ll need to head out into federal waters to come up against some of these beasts, so check with your captain before you embark on your reel-screeching adventure.
Flagler Beach charter trips usually run for four, six, and eight hours, with specialized Tarpon trips on offer when summer rolls around. A four-hour trip is the perfect introduction to Florida’s inshore waters for newer anglers and families. Want to battle those big beasts out on the Atlantic? On board a federal charter, opt for an eight-hour trip to get the most out of your day.
Rules & Regulations
As is the norm throughout Florida, your Flagler Beach charter captain will make sure your fishing license for the day is covered, as well as any fishing gear you need. Species such as Tarpon and Red Snapper are subject to strict regulations and closed seasons, and your captain will be able to advise you on any local changes.
