trip description for New Smyrna Beach & Daytona Beach Tarpon Fishing in Edgewater

The tarpon, Atlantic tarpon or also called the silver king are one of the number one targeted sport fish on the earth. These fish are some of the best fighting fish anglers have come across with using light tackle. Central Florida offers a wide selection of two different tarpon fishing charters in the area and this is the closest tarpon fishing near Orlando you will find. We target big tarpon here throughout the warmer months in the spring through the fall along the beaches, just outside the inlets. The backcountry tarpon fishing is done on the Mosquito Lagoon Indian River year round on the flats in New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, Ponce Inlet, Port Canaveral and Cocoa Beach. Typically April through November, with May, June, July, August, September and October being prime time for big beach, nearshore and backcountry tarpon. However the smaller tarpon can be found throughout the area year round in the far backcountry waters of the Indian River, Banana River, Sebastian Inlet and the Mosquito Lagoon. These fish range around 5 to 20 pounds, which are perfect for light tackle applications of both spin and fly. Along the beaches on the nearshore fishing trips is where you will find the 100 plus pound tarpon. These begin showing up in April and is in full force all summer long. On these charters we also have a chance to catch several other fish as well, just not tarpon. Snook and redfish are in the same areas. Read More

trip description for Chasing Deep Water Giants in Port Orange

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!

    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.

    Five stars warranted. Skilled and personable captain with nice boat and gear, plus the requisite “local knowledge.” Did a half day with trip tailored by the captain to match our specific inshore interests and to maximize fishing time. Had continuous action, and it was fun to see my daughter catch a nice mixed bag of fish species she hadn’t seen. Highly recommend Captain Matt.

    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.
