On The Hunt Fishing Charter

Captain Ryan is a full-time fishing guide based in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, with a deep passion for the water and years of experience fishing the inshore and nearshore waters of the Space Coast. Born and raised in Florida, he’s spent a lifetime learning the local tides, backwaters, and coastal ecosystems—and now he’s all about sharing that knowledge with his guests.

Specializing in light tackle and live bait fishing, Captain Ryan targets a wide range of inshore and nearshore species including Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and more. Whether you're sight fishing the flats, drifting the back bays, or running nearshore structure, he tailors each trip to match your goals and experience level.

Captain Ryan runs a clean, well-equipped Pathfinder bay boat with top-tier gear, and he welcomes anglers of all ages—from first-timers to seasoned pros. His friendly, patient approach makes every trip enjoyable, educational, and productive.
