Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year.

Ormond Beach Fishing Overview

Ormond Beach, a small town in Florida, offers a unique fishing experience for enthusiasts seeking larger-than-life catches. The town is quieter than its neighboring Daytona Beach and is home to the Halifax River and Tomoka State Park, both of which provide excellent inshore fishing opportunities. The offshore bite is also hot year-round, with the Gulf Stream located about 40 miles out.

In the Halifax and Tomoka Rivers, anglers can find Snook, Redfish, Black Drum, and Tarpon. Further out, natural and artificial reefs off of Ponce Inlet offer bottom fishing opportunities for Grouper, Spadefish, and Snapper. In the Atlantic's deeper waters, hard-fighting fish such as Amberjack, Cobia, Kingfish, and Barracuda can be found. For big pelagic species, Mahi Mahi and Kingfish fishing in the Gulf Stream is a must-try.

For a laid-back family outing, a half-day trip in Ormond Beach's inshore waterways is recommended. Anglers can expect calm waters and a stocked cooler. Full-day or extended trips are ideal for offshore or Gulf Stream fishing. Most fishing charters launch from boat ramps and piers along the Halifax River, while Port Orange offers more variety for offshore trips.

It is important to note that the captain's license covers everyone on board for saltwater fishing charters, but a fishing license is required for freshwater fishing.

Ormond Beach Inshore Fishing

Inshore fishing out of Ormond beach will give you plenty of opportunities to target all of the classic species of Florida including redfish, speckled trout, and tarpon. The brackish backcountry waters near Ormond Beach are a great place to target more inshore species such as flounder, sheepshead, black drum, and even Barracuda. With such a wide variety of fish and environments to target, Ormond Beach offers top-notch inshore fishing that will make even the most veteran anglers smile.

Ormond Beach Nearshore Fishing

If you are interested in pompano or bottom fishing for snapper and grouper species, head out to the nearshore surf or nearby reefs for all the rod bending action you can handle. Pompano usually only reach a few pounds but they are a thrill to catch. Live bait and jigs fished near structures will be the most effective way to target these fish. The same goes for snapper and grouper species but at much greater depths.

Ormond Beach Offshore Fishing

If you want bigger action and bigger fish, head out to the offshore waters for wahoo, tuna, mahi-mahi, and kingfish. These fish grow large and are formidable fighters. With wahoo growing to 80+ pounds. and tuna getting to several hundred pounds, If you hook up with any of these fish you will be battling for hours. The fish you target while trolling the offshore waters make delicious meals, especially tuna and wahoo which have excellent meat qualities.

Other Things to Do in Ormond Beach

Every trip to the coast means having at least one beach day, and the nearby beaches are gorgeous. Clean sand and beautiful water make them a great place to get some rest and relaxation.When it’s time to fuel up or wind down, there are plenty of beachfront restaurants and bars to choose from.

    Great day on the water with Captain Mark. We parked on top of sunken shrimp boat, caught 30+ trout, blue fish, whiting and baited some big hooks for local sharks. Had spinner sharks and a black tip pulled in near the boat. Giant turtle hung out on surface and watched us most of morning. Highly recommended

    Awesome day on the water with my family and Capt. Billy. We caught our red fish limit and he put us on sheephead and other fish all day. It was a memorable day, and I think he was having more fun than all of us. We look forward to getting out again!

    Christian was Great. Communicated well after the booking even asking if I had any special requests for our trip. We went out for shark, unfortunately the sharks weren’t interested in biting this particular day. At no fault of Christian’s though. Tried multiple spots, different bait and fishing techniques in an attempt to get us a bite. Even though no sharks were caught today, I’ll definitely reach out to Christian next time I’m in the area to try again.

    Taylor was a great captain who was a joy to fish with and put us on the fish. He's an easy going guy who, despite being a younger captain, already has considerable experience in Mosquito Lagoon. He was right on time, the boat was clean and well-organized, and spotted so many fish for us. Taylor is your secret weapon in the Lagoon.
