On the Water

Fishing Port Orange

Fishing from Port Orange puts us in a prime position to explore the Ponce Inlet and the northern reaches of the Indian River Lagoon. This area is fantastic for chasing redfish and speckled trout, especially around the oyster bars and mangrove shorelines that dot the coastline. As the seasons change, so do the opportunities. Spring and summer bring the possibility of encountering large tarpon migrating through Ponce Inlet, offering an incredible fight. We can also find snook and flounder in the channels and nearshore waters. A charter out of Port Orange often involves a mix of flats fishing and exploring the slightly more dynamic waters closer to the inlet, making for a versatile and action-packed day.
