About Your Trip

Join Captain Steven for an exciting inshore fishing adventure just under an hour from Orlando in the beautiful Indian River Lagoon near New Smyrna Beach. This trip takes you into one of Florida’s most productive and diverse estuary systems, where calm waters, tidal movement, and abundant baitfish create consistent opportunities for fast-paced action.

The Indian River is known for its variety, and on this trip you can expect to target species such as ladyfish, jack crevalle, bluefish, mangrove snapper, and sheepshead. These waters are alive with activity, and when the bite is on, it often delivers nonstop action with multiple species showing up throughout the day. Jack crevalle bring powerful runs and hard fights, while bluefish add fast-paced strikes and aggressive energy. Mangrove snapper and sheepshead provide steady structure fishing around docks, bridges, and oyster bars.

For anglers looking for a bigger challenge, there is also the option to target redfish upon request. These powerful inshore gamefish are often found cruising shorelines, flats, and deeper edges, offering a rewarding sight-fishing opportunity when conditions allow.

Captain Steven keeps the trip fun, flexible, and action-oriented, adjusting techniques based on tide movement, water conditions, and fish behavior. Light tackle fishing is commonly used to maximize the excitement of each hookup, making every catch feel lively and engaging for anglers of all experience levels.

One of the highlights of this area is the wildlife. Dolphins are frequently seen throughout the trip, often surfacing nearby as you fish through the scenic waterways of New Smyrna Beach. The combination of active fishing and natural beauty makes this a memorable experience both on and off the rod.

This is a high-energy inshore trip designed for steady bites, great scenery, and plenty of smiles on the water with Captain Steven in the Indian River Lagoon.

About Your Guide

Steven S.

Independent Guide

Hello there! Here at cast out we take pride in fishing, not just an ordinary charter that buys bait and throws out and if something bites it's whatever! I take pride in my charter and it discourages me to see other people taking peoples hard earned money! Thanks for considering!

I started fishing in middle school when my dad took me to my very boat pond where not only did I hook a bass but hooked myself lol! Fishing is not too serious with me but on the other hand it is cause of my pride for everything I do'

Whether you're visiting from up the north or looking for an outdoor adventure, we're here to fulfill your desires! We strive to put our clients on not just fish but memories that will last a lifetime. We look forward to fishing with you and for many years to come! Captain Steven thanks you for viewing the listing and wishes you a blessed day.

Steven worked very hard all morning to try to get us on fish. We didn't have a lot of success, but I still feel Steven did a good job for us.
