Consistent Redfish, Trout, and Flounder Action Along the Halifax River and Intracoastal Waterway
Inshore fishing around Daytona Beach is heating up with solid action throughout the backwaters, flats, and mangrove-lined creeks. Redfish are feeding actively during early morning outgoing tides—look for them tailing near oyster bars and sandy drop-offs. Live shrimp, cut bait, and paddle tails are working well, especially around structures with moving water. Spotted Seatrout are also showing up in good numbers, particularly near grass beds and channel edges. Flounder have been biting close to sandy banks and bridge pilings, with some keeper-size fish in the mix. Anglers targeting Sheepshead around docks and seawalls are landing a few using fiddler crabs and shrimp. With warm temps and calm winds, now’s a great time to hit the water and enjoy productive inshore fishing along Daytona’s scenic coast.

Booked a trip with Mark about 5 months in advance and made a deposit. Communication was great leading up to the trip. There were a few problems with water condition and certain species we wanted to target but the captain went above and beyond to work with us and made certain our trip was enjoyable. Mark has a great personally and is very comfortable in his element. Very professional. Boat is clean and safe and handles the seas very well. After a short ride, we were on the fish immediately and had an amazing trip. Definitely give this guy a call

Great time on the eco tour with Capt Mark. Spotted several dolphins, great views.

Hands down Mark is the most comical and knowledgeable Captain. Great laughs, and knows the shark fishing spots and what is needed. I had myself and 3 boys from 11yrs-15yrs on the boat. We all felt 100% safe during travel and had a very smooth ride. We all caught sharks!! We bagged one, which if you are from out of town, I recommend only one cuz there is so much meat. He recommended Crabby Joes 2 blocks from the boat landing to cook it up for us. He did a great job fileting the shark for us. By far the best experience i have ever had on a boat!!

If you are thinking about booking a fishing charter or tour with him, DO IT! He knows all the secret spots and will teach you everything you need to know even if it’s your first time. Soo worth the money! We will definitely be booking another charter again soon😊 Thanks so much Captain Mark!
