Incase you didn't notice those teeth are long and sharp on Barracudas

Barracuda Fishing
Daytona Beach, Florida

Livebaiting Barracuda in the Deep Sea

One of the most entertaining fish to hookup with are the Atlantic Ocean's great barracuda off Daytona Beach, Florida. Notorious for their abilities to bite full sized fish in half in one quick bite, barracuda are hard fighting fish with a nasty reputation. During the summers off Daytona beach and Florida's coastline, barracuda are abundant and often willing to bite any live bait thrown at them. Beware of this fish's teeth when you're boating them because they are sharp and like razors. Those canine's can puncture, but the rest of the dental work is for slashing and cutting up prey quickly and effectivley.

While most anglers are not looking to put the barracuda in the cooler because of it's reputation for having poison flesh, they are considered a delicousy in many countries and regions. Ciguatera poisoning is prominate in larger barracuda but smaller fish are supposed to be good tablefare, but we don't have any friends that have personally tried to eat a barracuda. I can guarantee that more more people have eaten barracuda than vise versa.

When's the Best Time to Go Barracuda Fishing near Daytona Florida?

Hello Anglers,
I'm often asked to seek out the snook during the cooler times of the year and I have to admit that it's not near as productive for snook seekers during the winter and early spring in Central Florida. Summer and early fall during the mullet run are great and further to the south at Sebastian can be productive till just before Christmas in mid December. Generally the bite can continue at night time hours at Port Canaveral during the winter if the weather is mild but if the winter is chilly the snook are not interested in eating, only surviving the winter's chill.

However there's plenty of other fishing during the cooler months for those anglers wishing to catch redfish, trout or other inshore and offshore species. Call Captain Gina and set a trip up for snook or other fishing in Central Florida and the Daytona area soon.

"My husband, Captain Richard took me out for a morning of snook fishing that was nothing less than spectacular. I caught some really big snook and released all of them as it was during the summer spawn. I know that you would enjoy a day like mine seeking out those awesome fish with the big black line down the side." Captain Gina Bradley explains.
