Halifax River & Ponce Inlet Fishing Report Snook season is officially open as of September 1st, and the bite has started strong. Anglers are already seeing quality action along the Halifax River and through Ponce Inlet. The jetties are producing some true monsters, with live mullet and pinfish proving to be reliable baits. For those preferring artificials, a Salt Strong prawn rigged on a ½-ounce jig worked near the bottom has been an effective way to hook into a personal best. Over in Spruce Creek, snook have been ambushing bait along the mangroves, offering plenty of opportunities for inshore action. Keep an eye near marina buoys as well—some hefty tripletail have been hanging around, and fresh cut ladyfish has been a top choice for bringing them boatside.

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!

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
