Guided Mosquito Lagoon • Indian River • Ponce Inlet Fishing Charter • Port Canaveral

All of my inshore and nearshore guided fishing tours are done out of a new 2022 21 foot Pathfinder TRS boat, with a Yamaha outboard. Outfitted with professional grade saltwater fly fishing and light tackle Shimano St Croix spinning gear, high end Garmin Side View/Down Scan electronics package. Fishing this unaltered estuary among the shallow back country grass flats allows you to make casts at fish you are able to see and stalk. Plenty of room for up six anglers at times. We now have a backcountry micro skiff for shallow water flats fishing and sight flats fishing trips.

Whether you want to sight fish tailing redfish, drum or trout on the north Indian River lagoon at Ponce Inlet. See the explosion of tarpon hitting bait pods as they roll in the morning coastal surf. Target backcountry tarpon and snook at Sebastian Inlet and Palm Bay flats. Fishing for cobia underneath manta rays along the beaches. Or perhaps would just like to see the marvels this wildlife refuge has to offer, then this is the charter for you. I also offer largemouth bass, shad and crappie charters in the cooler months on the St. Johns River and private lakes.

The area is like no other sport fishing charter destinations. Numerous world records have been established here on light tackle throughout all of the lagoon systems and Ponce Inlet. Targeting giant bull redfish that roam these waters year round. Mosquito Lagoon red drum in excess of the 30 plus pound class! Saltwater trophy sport fishing at its best. Earning it the title of the redfish capital of the world.

With over 40 years of fishing here and running Florida Inshore Fishing Charters full time since 2001, being an Orlando area saltwater fishing guide, I will work very hard to ensure you have the best guided fishing trip possible. So if you are visiting and want to experience central Florida's premier saltwater fishing at its prime then this is a definite to put on your "things to do list".

Florida Inshore Fishing Charters hopes that you keep in mind, "Fishing is not a matter of life and death, it is way more important than that!" So call me today to book a charter of a lifetime!

Tight Lines & Bent Rods!
