The summertime patterns we have been waiting all winter for are finally setting in nicely. Migratory species are returning and opportunities abound. Mornings this time of year are generally beautiful and calm followed by several hours of sunshine until the afternoon storms possibly arrive long after we get off the water.
Nearshore fishing off Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach is a summer specialty as our migratory species such as tarpon and false albacore tuna make their annual passage along our coast. These species are fierce predators and the smallest albacore and the largest tarpon will both make their appropriately sized reels scream. Some days allow us to target these fish with fly tackle as well. In the Ponce Inlet and river areas, we will be looking for redfish, snook, and large jack crevalle. These species are all active during the summer months and the snook especially are high on our priority list. We have been getting some big snook with a few even pushing 40”, great fish that we did not always get this far north in Florida. The early part of summer is some of the nicest weather and best fishing of the year for our largest gamefish. Don’t miss out on this season of fishing! Capt.

Spring is transitioning into summer here in the Ponce Inlet area. This means some of our warm water species are once again arriving and becoming active and giving us some of our awaited summer time opportunities. This early part of summer is still more quite as hot as July and August yet to come so being on the boat is still nice and pleasant temperature wise.
The summer season brings with it our migratory tarpon and false albacore tuna. These are both some of the most powerful gamefish pound for pound and it’s a blast to spend the day nearshore fishing targeting these species with light tackle. Other fish are also giving us good opportunities inshore such as snook and redfish. We are also still fishing out of the skiff down in Mosquito Lagoon where sight fishing is the name of the game. Redfish, sea trout and black drum are the targets for this light tackle and fly fishing. We will continue to fish the lagoon intermittently throughout summer but our main focus will be on the nearshore and inlet fishing in the coming months. Don’t miss out on the early season bites for these species, some of the better tarpon fishing happens earlier in the summer! |
