Ponce Inlet, nestled between Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach, offers exceptional fishing diversity across inshore, nearshore, and offshore grounds without the crowds. Anglers target trophy Bull Redfish in the Indian River Lagoon, especially during fall mullet runs, alongside Snook, Speckled Trout, and Jack Crevalle in the Halifax River estuary.
Nearshore reefs 10 miles out produce abundant Snapper—including large Red and Mangrove varieties—plus Grouper, Cobia, and Amberjack. Offshore ventures yield pelagics like Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, and Sailfish. Year-round opportunities include winter Sheepshead, spring/summer Tarpon migrations, and consistent Redfish action supported by thriving baitfish ecosystems.
Experienced local charters provide tailored trips for all skill levels, with half-day excursions ideal for inshore species and full-day adventures maximizing offshore opportunities. Marinas offer rapid access to prime grounds, with all licenses included for hassle-free fishing.
