Enjoy an unforgettable inshore fishing adventure with Captain Dave and Captain Kevin of Strippin Lips Charters, where you’ll explore the rich waters of Ormond Beach, Ponce Inlet, and the world-famous Mosquito Lagoon. These legendary fishing grounds offer year-round action, and with their combined expertise, you’ll be in the best hands to land prized catches like Redfish, Snook, Trout, Flounder, and even Tarpon when in season. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to fishing, Captain Dave and Captain Kevin customize each trip to match your skill level and goals, ensuring a fun and rewarding experience on the water.


Your trip will take place aboard a fully equipped 185 Baycraft Flats Edition Skiff, a sleek and versatile vessel built specifically for inshore and backcountry fishing. This skiff comfortably accommodates up to four anglers plus the captain and is designed for accessing shallow waters that other boats simply can’t reach. Outfitted with Trim Tabs for a smooth, efficient ride, a Stiffy Push Pole for silent poling, and a 70-lb Thrust Autopilot Trolling Motor, this boat gives you an edge when targeting fish in tight, hard-to-reach spots. With an ultra-shallow draft of just five inches, it allows you to glide into secluded fishing areas, increasing your chances of hooking that trophy catch.


Each trip is fully customized to your fishing style and preferences. If you enjoy sight fishing, you’ll stalk Redfish in shallow flats, watching as they tail in crystal-clear waters. If structure fishing is more your style, you can target Snook, Trout, and Flounder along docks, sandbars, and drop-offs in the Halifax River. For those seeking a heart-pounding challenge, you can venture slightly farther to battle the acrobatic Tarpon when conditions are right. Fly fishing enthusiasts will also appreciate the captains’ expertise in guiding anglers through the nuances of casting and presenting flies in these unique inshore waters.


Beyond the fishing, a trip with Strippin Lips Charters is about immersing yourself in Florida’s breathtaking coastal environment. As you navigate through the serene backwaters, you’ll have the chance to encounter dolphins, manatees, ospreys, and other incredible wildlife that call these estuaries home. Book your Ormond Beach fishing charter today and let Strippin Lips Charters show you the best that Florida’s inshore fishing has to offer.
