Strap in for a real deal offshore experience exploring the deep water of NE Florida with Captain Matt. He will go above and beyond to make sure he puts you right on top of the fish. After you get settled in aboard his 30' Sea Hunt Center Console, Captain Matt will crank up his twin 300 Yamaha's to motor anywhere from 15-40 miles offshore. Once you're out there get ready for some offshore trolling, bottom fishing and fish catching! While trolling you can expect to hook into the likes of King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Wahoo and more, while bottom fishing can produce more Snapper species, a variety of Grouper Species, Amberjack and the occasional Jack and Cobia. Beyond the species listed, there are plenty more species the Gulf can offer up as well so you never know! For 6 and 8 hour trips, you are slightly more limited by the commute and are usually restricted to less variety in your techniques and areas fished. 10 hour trips open a lot of doors to bouncing around different spots and targeting different pelagic fish like Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and rouge Tuna! You'll be fishing aboard a 30ft Sea Hunt with a capacity for 5 people. Its twin 300 HP Yamaha's will get you offshore in a hurry to make the most of the time spent motoring around! It comes with the essentials such as GPS, Fishfinder, a Live Bait Well, and an Ice Box to store your catches. Everything you reel in is yours to keep, and Captain Matt will happily clean any keepers for no additional cost! Captain Matt will provide all the rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. All you need to bring is sunglasses, sunscreen, and any snacks or drinks you might need, and rested arms... hooking into these pelagic beasts is one thing, getting them to the boat is the tricky part!

What is blacktip shark fishing in New Smyrna Beach all about?

New Smyrna Beach, situated on Florida's Atlantic coast, is renowned for its population of blacktip sharks, making it a popular destination for anglers seeking thrilling encounters with these apex predators. Blacktip sharks are commonly found patrolling the nearshore waters off New Smyrna Beach, particularly during the warmer months when they migrate to the area in search of prey. These sleek and powerful sharks are known for their acrobatic leaps and formidable fighting abilities, providing anglers with exhilarating battles and unforgettable experiences.

Anglers in New Smyrna Beach employ a variety of techniques to target blacktip sharks, adapting their approach based on the fish's behavior and the prevailing conditions. One effective method is surf fishing, where anglers cast baited rigs from the sandy beaches and wait for blacktip sharks to take the bait. Using heavy tackle and sturdy rigs, anglers present baits such as mullet, mackerel, or cut bait to entice blacktip sharks into striking. Patience and perseverance are key in this method, as anglers must carefully monitor their lines and wait for the telltale signs of a shark bite.

Another popular technique for targeting blacktip sharks in New Smyrna Beach is kayak fishing. Anglers launch kayaks from the beach and paddle out to deeper waters, where they deploy baited rigs and wait for blacktip sharks to take the bait. Kayak fishing allows anglers to access areas that are inaccessible from shore and provides a more immersive and thrilling fishing experience. With proper preparation and equipment, anglers can enjoy exciting encounters with blacktip sharks amidst the scenic beauty of New Smyrna Beach's coastal waters.

What are the most popular months to fish for blacktip shark in New Smyrna Beach?
