By adjusting their drift speed and focusing on areas with favorable currents and structure, anglers can increase their chances of hooking into these prized inshore species and enjoying a successful day on the water.

What other species are popular in New Smyrna Beach?

Aside from targeting Florida pompano, anglers in New Smyrna Beach have a diverse range of other species to pursue throughout the year. One popular catch among local fishermen is the redfish, known for its powerful runs and hard-fighting nature. These fish can be found in the shallow waters, grass flats, and mangrove shorelines of the area, particularly during the cooler months. Anglers often use a variety of techniques such as sight fishing with artificial lures or live bait, as well as bottom fishing with cut bait or shrimp, to entice strikes from these prized game fish.

Another sought-after species in the waters off New Smyrna Beach is the spotted seatrout, prized for its delicious flavor and abundance in the local estuaries and flats. Anglers can often find schools of seatrout feeding on baitfish and shrimp in shallow, grassy areas, particularly during the cooler months. Using techniques like drift fishing with live bait or casting artificial lures can yield success when targeting these elusive fish. Whether fishing from a boat, kayak, or wading in the shallows, hooking into a trophy-sized seatrout is a memorable experience for any angler visiting New Smyrna Beach.

For those seeking an offshore adventure, New Smyrna Beach offers opportunities to target a variety of pelagic species such as king mackerel, mahi-mahi, and sailfish. Offshore fishing charters provide access to deeper waters where these species roam, offering anglers the chance to test their skills against some of the ocean's most formidable predators. Trolling with live bait or artificial lures, as well as bottom fishing over wrecks and reefs, are common techniques used to entice these offshore game fish. Whether targeting inshore or offshore species, New Smyrna Beach provides anglers with a diverse and rewarding fishing experience year-round.

    I have many ways I could explain this trip I was unable to go so I sent my 218-year-old sons with their buddies and they had the time of their life. They couldn’t say enough about Captain Aaron. He made them feel right at home even after two of them puked. Plenty of fish were caught and plenty of memories made specially for two seniors 100% be going back to captain Aaron. But next time I’m going see you soon.

    We had an amazing time with Aaron! He had a great personality, which made it a very enjoyable experience! We did the 8am charter and had a beautiful day. Aaron made sure that we all caught fish and was very accommodating rigging up our lines. I would highly recommend booking with Aaron! Thanks Aaron! 😉

    Aaron was amazing! Very family friendly and it was my daughters first time even holding a fishing pole and she enjoyed every minute of it. We chose the inshore fishing and the other kids had a great a time also. My son caught a shark, it was cold when we went out (I didn’t check the weather before hand) but we were very comfortable on the boat and he was very accommodating with the weather. I highly, highly recommend Aaron for your fishing trip.

    We loved our trip with Captain Neal! Him and his family have so much interesting history with the town and river. You can tell he’s a very experienced fisherman through his knowledge of the best fishing spots and the species. He’s friendly and has a great sense of humor. We caught a lot of black drum and red drum along with snook and spotted trout. It was a great time even in the off season. Highly suggest Neal for your quick morning trip!

    With a huge storm the day before and winds still keeping most boats off the water we did very well. 12 fish total with 2 being sharks. One fish we caught was bit in half! Great day on the beach! Learned so many new skills as well and Kathy is too notch at sharing her techniques and working diligently to keep all three of us busey with four rods. You won't find that from a boat. Honestly with four poles soaking, most double rigs totaling 7-8 baits in the water at all times seems much more productive than one rod per angler getting snagged on a reef or baits getting stripped. Being an avid angler myself I'm very impressed with my first time surf fishing under post cold front conditions when many fish get finiky and tuff to commit to feed. Thank you Kathy!!! I'll be back!
