Halifax River Fishing Reports (December 2025)

New Smyrna Beach, Florida
Reported: 5 days ago

King fish are in thick offshore. Great time of year for multi species bottom fishing. Caught everything from triggerfish to scamp grouper not too far offshore. Inshore, snook and bull reds are in and when you get the tide right you have the chance for a fish of a lifetime.

Redfish bite is cooled off waste week with that cool front and full moon. I am expecting bite to ramp up with the warmer weather. Sea trout and weak fish bite is also getting better. A few whispers of some black drum in the river. Baits of choice have been shrimp under a float and cut finger mullet or pinfish on a bottom rig.
