This small Floridian city is known for its Atlantic-facing beaches, nature trails, and plentiful waterside activities – and a whole host of angling opportunities, of course. You’ll find plenty of Vero Beach fishing charters lining the shores, ready to take you exploring. With deep sea adventures and a maze of flats, inlets, creeks, and coves on offer, it’s easy to see why Vero Beach has all types of anglers truly hooked!
If you’re an inshore angler, prepare to have your heart stolen by the Indian River Lagoon. This waterway is home to thousands of flora and fauna varieties, and offers up scenic angling opportunities. Snook, Redfish, and Trout thrive here, and the lagoon’s many inlets are home to Permit, Cobia, Tarpon, and Trevally. The bite is consistent throughout the year, and you’ll find captains running both half and full day trips, suitable for families and experienced fishermen alike.
For adrenaline lovers, the fish-filled waters of the mighty Atlantic lie in wait. With an impressive scattering of reefs and wrecks located just a few miles from shore, anglers looking for tasty table fare will be able to plumb the depths for Snapper, Grouper, and Kingfish.
Head further out, and it’s a big game fish bonanza – Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Marlin and Swordfish are waiting for you. Opt for a full or extended full day adventure to make the most of this prolific fishery. Some captains even run extended or multi day trips to the Bahamas!
