Ponce Inlet is a beautiful destination surrounded by rich waters and prime fishing spots. Inshore fishing near the Ponce Inlet Jetty or the maze of backwaters created by the Halifax River provides non-stop action with short travel times. If you want to target bigger fish, head offshore and target pelagic species in the Gulf Stream. There are even freshwater options in Lake George which is only a short trip west.

Freshwater fishing is only a short drive inland and provides unique fishing opportunities. Lake George is only a few miles west of the coast but the water is brackish as the St. Johns River nears the ocean. This lake is very productive for crappie and bass and several other inshore species. The wide variety of species to target in Lake George means there is no shortage of fish to catch. If you want to get two birds with one stone, this is the fishing spot for you.

Inshore fishing near Ponce Inlet offers a wide range of fishing opportunities.

With such a wide variety of fish and environments to target, Ponce Inlet offers top-notch inshore fishing that will make even the most veteran anglers grin.

If you are interested in targeting pompano or bottom fishing for snapper and grouper species, head out to the surf or nearshore reefs. These fish will provide all the rod bending action you can handle and more. 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.

If you're after massive fish and incredible action, head offshore for a shot at wahoo, tuna, mahi-mahi, and kingfish. These fish grow large, taste great, and are formidable fighters. With wahoo growing to 80+ lbs. and tuna reaching several hundred pounds, hooking up with any of these fish means a fight that could last for hours. The fish you target while trolling the offshore waters have delicious meat, especially tuna and wahoo favorites among anglers.
