Ponce Inlet Fishing Report

September can be a great month for fishing, and so far it’s starting out strong. Snook and redfish are the main targets this month but we also have opportunities at large jack crevalle and occasionally tarpon as the mullet run continues. 


Redfish in the 10-40lb range are in the Ponce Inlet area in full force this month. Large schools of fish can make for excellent fishing opportunities with 5-10 fish days a common occurrence, sometimes even more. This can make for an incredible day of fishing for anglers of any skill level. 


When the bait like mullet are around, we can get shots at large tarpon around Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach, and as the month progresses we get opportunities at big 8-12lb jack crevalle as well, which are extremely exciting and powerful, often taking topwater plugs or crushing a live bait just feet from the boat in the ambush areas they use to feed. 


The end of summer/beginning of fall offers more comfortable temperatures and excellent fishing on many days, don’t miss out on some of the better fishing of the entire year!
