About Your Trip

Fish the Flats, Jetties, and Reefs of Daytona Beach with Captain Christian!

Join Captain Christian for an exciting inshore and nearshore fishing adventure along the beautiful waters of Daytona Beach, targeting a wide range of Florida's most sought-after species. With flexible 4- to 6-hour trips, this charter offers something for everyone—from seasoned anglers to first-timers and families.

You'll launch from a local boat ramp and head straight into action, fishing the Halifax River, the Ponce
Inlet jetties, and nearshore reefs. On calm days, Christian may even take you a bit farther offshore to chase bigger fish. The target species change with the seasons, but you can expect to go after Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Mangrove Snapper, and even offshore options like Amberjack, Black Grouper, Mutton Snapper, and Bull or Hammerhead Sharks when conditions are right.

This trip is highly customizable, with a wide range of techniques in play including live bait, artificial lures, trolling, bottom fishing, jigging, drift fishing, and more. All rods, reels, tackle, and live bait are included, and Christian will help dial in the best methods based on what’s biting.

You’ll be fishing aboard an 18’ bay boat that’s nimble enough to work tight inshore areas but fully capable of running nearshore reefs. The boat includes a restroom, Bluetooth music system, and comfortable space for up to 6 guests. It’s also kid- and disability-friendly, making it a great option for groups of all ages and abilities.

Snacks and drinks are included, and you're welcome to bring your own extras (beer is allowed, just leave the glass at home). Fish cleaning is available at the dock for a small fee.

With a federal permit in hand, Christian can legally fish deeper offshore waters when the weather cooperates—offering even more variety to an already dynamic trip. Whether you're casting topwater plugs for Redfish at sunrise or dropping baits down on a reef for Snapper, every day on the water with Christian is tailored to be fun and flexible

Our trip with Christian was awesome! I had never booked a guided trip before. He was very helpful and got us right into the action. He helped explain to us how to get the fish to bite and the fish were biting pretty consistently. We went to several different spots to try for different fish and we succeeded at nearly every spot. The website was also super easy for booking and paying.

Christian was great! My family had a wonderful time and would most definitely go again, but probably for a longer trip so we could fish more.

Captain Christian was fantastic. From.the time i booked until we were loading up the boat, he was always responsive and pleasant. He was prepared with many poles as there was 6 of us. He had fresh bait and lots of addition items needed for fishing. We were not super successful in catching many fish we could keep, Captain was good at taking us to many spots and trying different techniques. We had a wonderful time...

Captain Christian was awesome. We had an absolute blast with him. His knowledge of the area, fishing, history and all things maritime were unreal. Christian is the real deal. A fantastic captain, guide, comedian and terrific guy all round. I’d definitely fish with him again if I’m back in the area.

Early February 2025
Big Ugly Fight I knew once the warmer weather came in id have abother shot at this Big black drum that ive been trying to get on my last 4 charters and finally got him. I waited to get him on an incoming tide right by a piling on top of an oyster bed. We were getting bites on the prawn and big live shrimp an finally nailed him. My charter client who was 71 years old was so happy! Took a team effort but we got em. I usually can get them on high tide at the bridges. He was caught on the pass piling of the Dunlawton bridge.
