Ponce Inlet Fishing Report by Capt. Billy Rotne

Winter in Florida brings exciting fishing and pleasant temperatures. This seasonal change brings more options to our fishery. The summer and fall patterns change and make way for new opportunities.

With cooler temperatures comes better water clarity and lower water levels. This gives us opportunities for targeting fish by sight fishing with both fly and light spin tackle out of our Hell’s Bay flats skiffs in the back country areas of Daytona Beach, Ponce Inlet, New Smyrna and Mosquito Lagoon.

This style of fishing can be very exciting, challenging and rewarding. For others, bay boat trips targeting big bull redfish are still a great option for anglers of all skill levels.
