Fishing in Halifax River

Looking for a Floridian angling adventure where you can test your skills against diverse inshore fish, all in one place? Set your sights on a Halifax River fishing experience, which will see you cruising unspoiled mangroves, mazes of creeks, and oyster bars for your target species. Whether you’re looking to introduce your family to fishing, or want to take home a delicious dinner, the uniqueness of this fishery means you’ll find just what you’re searching for.

The species you’ll be able to cast your line for in the Halifax River are a real “who’s-who” of Floridian favorites. If you’re looking for something tasty to fill your cooler, the marshy mangroves are home to the trio of Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, and Redfish. If you’re chasing these fish, chances are you’ll also come across Black Drum, Sheepshead, various Shark, and even hard-fighting Snook and Tarpon, too.

If you’re really into your saltwater fishing, head straight to Ponce Inlet, where the river meets the Intracoastal Waterway. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to encounter species such as King and Spanish Mackerel, Barracuda, and even Shark species. The Bonnethead is an especially popular catch.

Halifax River fishing charters follow the general Florida trip formula, meaning you’ll find four, six, and eight-hour options on offer. The main difference between each trip is simply how much time you want to spend on the water!

Rules & Regulations

All Florida charters cover saltwater fishing licenses for their guests, and the captains dotted around the Halifax River are no different. They’ll also be able to inform you on any local changes regarding bag and size limits.

Be sure you have nausea medication....the patch did not work for us! And bring water! We brought mostly sodas and that isnt good when you get sea sick! Now we know :)

"Fishing trip May 2020!!!"

Delores L. fished with Reel Compulsive Fishing Charters on May 27, 2020

Nothing really, this was our first time fishing there, and we had an awesome time!!! And the only reason I say no it wasn't what I expected at booking, or not to did we catch the fish we wanted, was cause we thought we were going out deeper, and the fish would be different, and bigger. But it doesn't take anything away from the fact we caught fish we never thought we'd catch, seen fish we've never seen before, and it was just an amazing time!!!
