Fishing just outside the jeeties at Pince inlet just near daytona beach you can crush some sheepshead. However the redfish stumbled apon this area which was just the inshore pass an let me know redfish are on the move! He was hiding near a mangrove also near an oyster bed. Try throwing shrimp or snall crabs as bait!

Slaying fish and sharks on warm February
Slaying fish and sharks on warm February
Feb 7, 2025 Daytona Beach
These 2 fish assassins decided to join my charter from North Carolina and absolutely slay it. They took my charter from Daytona Beach, and we made down to the creeks in Ponce Inlet! It was super foggy in the morning an difficult to see at first. However, those creeks are still full of fish this time of year. We fished an outgoing tide. As the weather warms up, so do the sharks! We had about 4 sharks on and landed 2 of them! They slayed the sheepshead with catching over 25 and about 15 trout. All an all they had 10 different species and these best friends had a great time! Outgoing tides are best for the creeks because the big fish that are in the back of the creeks make their way out to the passes or more open water! So creek mouths on top of an oyster bar are awesome to fish. Live Mullet, live shrimp or cut mullet is awesome this time of year. Tightlines Capt Christian Ortiz Daytona Beach Jus Chillin Charters

Feb 5, 2025 Daytona Beach
As a captain, i have a bunch of apps. Every app said today was a bad time to go. Welp, not for this guy. After taking a last-minute cancelation, Mike absolutely slayed it today. He caught his first sheepshead and shark today. The bite was nonstop. With an east wind and still.winter. these fish were found on droppoffs. Fish this time a year are still in winter patterns, even if it's 80 in February. They are still in deep trophs waiting on bait. That's exactly what we did. We fished the tail end of an incoming tide with live shrimp and fresh dead mullet

January Warm weather brought in a Monste

Jan 29, 2025 Daytona Beach
After much of January being absolutely cold and a north wind this day was finally warm and minimal wind. A north wind and cold can basically be a dead day or hard day of fishing since fish like consistent patterns. We started off at the creeks to fish in ponce inlet for some sheepshead. We eneded up with trout. Bluefish, whiting, sheepshead and more. We used medium rods with a 1oz sinker carolina rig and nailed atleast 15 of them. We started fishing at slack tide as i was waiting for the incoming tide to come in. Once the tide turned thats whennother fish showed up to the party! The guys had a blast. But they wanted a monster. I knew the only real chance we had near south Daytona was a big black drum. They waited patiently justbas the sun had set. We skipped a shrimp by a bridge piling an the fight of his life was on. The big ugly came out. We got this massive Black Drum! They couldn't of been any happier! Warm weather after cold brings on the bite.

20 degree Swing brings in fish!
Nov 26, 2024 Daytona Beach
With the weather here in Daytona Beach heading into December, we have some huge weather swings. This can get fish fired up as they dont know whether to feed on big baits or anything! I started to see some Pompano come in with the colder water dropping under 70 degrees, and I will usually still fish the passes this time of year along with docks looking for Sheepshead. However my clients nailed it today. 2 Decent hammer heads and caught some keeper Pompano! Altho their Hot in April you can also find them randomly with weather changes
