''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''Grew up on the Halifax River in Ponce Inlet, FL and learned the backwaters from Daytona Beach to Mosquito Lagoon. Passionate about fishing and landing a fish of a lifetime for my clients.' Captain Gary Bell had a very cool baseball career for 8 years, and every offseason would come back home to fish daily. He now runs charters, doing what he loves, helping customers catch their trophy fish''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Jetty Heating up!

Aug 23, 2026 • New Smyrna Beach
this time of year the blue crabs are migrating in the river and the mullet run is happening! what does this mean? ACTION! The redfish, snook, tarpon, jacks and many other species are filling up their bellies. Its a great opportunity for anglers to take advantage of this 2-3 month long migration fishing frenzy. Mid August thru mid November is some of the best fishing that happens in this area. Jump into this action!
