While mutton snapper can be caught year-round in Port Orange, anglers may find that they are more prevalent and easier to locate during the peak seasons. However, with proper techniques and persistence, anglers can still encounter mutton snapper during the cooler months of late fall and winter, particularly in deeper offshore waters or around structures where these fish seek refuge from colder temperatures.

Vertical jigging allows anglers to cover a wide area and explore different depths, increasing the chances of encountering mutton snapper and enticing strikes.

Additionally, anglers may find success trolling for mutton snapper in Port Orange, particularly when fishing over expansive reef systems or along drop-offs.

    We highly recommend this father and son guided trip. Fishing with my husband and I were our 7 and 10 year old granddaughters, daughter and son in law. The boat was older but very clean. The cabin with a small fan and cooler filled with water and cold drinks was nice. We caught 7 mahi mahi and they made sure each one of us had the thrill of reeling in our fish. Back at the dock, our fish were cleaned and bagged to bring home. Our granddaughters were given the skins and shown how to hold them off the side of the boat to feed the huge tarpon while nurse sharks were circling. An exciting end to an awesome trip.
