Ponce Inlet Fishing Charters - Latest Report

As we push though the middle of our fall season in the Ponce Inlet, New Smyrna and Daytona Beach area of Florida, the typical events of the season are happening. Good fishing for snook, redfish, jacks and on some days, shots at tarpon. On the weather side of things, cooler temperatures and lower humidity make our days on the water very pleasant. We had a couple recent brushes with hurricanes but the impact to this area was not detrimental to the fishing and the bite after the storms has been good. 


The fall season brings large numbers of redfish and snook to the area and gives us some of the most fun action of the year. Lots of bait movement happens as many baitfish species that were born in the spring are now mature and are making their way to the ocean to complete their life cycle. The big predatory fish know this and make the most of the opportunity. They are packing on the calories for the coming winter season and are eager to feed on most days. 


Mullet are continuing their “run” and it’s always exciting to see big schools of jacks and tarpon making schools of mullet shower as they get demolished by the onslaught of predators. This will continue through mid November as we progressively get cooler temperatures before the arrival of winter in December which brings another fun season of fishing. The fishing stays strong all through the fall season so make some time to enjoy the great fishing and air conditioning like temperatures!
