King Mackerel Fishing in Daytona Beach

King Fish and Mackerel Offshore Fishing

Every spring breaker in America knows about Daytona Beach and it's drive on sandy road beaches, but did you know they have a great fishery to the south of Daytona for giant snook and other species? When you're down our way and visiting the Orlando area, you might consider fishing for the elusive and prestigous snook during the warmer month's of the year. Daytona host some excellent fishing in both inshore and offshore fishing. During the summer Ponce Inlet or New Smyrna can have some good snook fishing but a little further to the south at Port Canaveral and Sebastian Inlet is world class, excellent snook fishing for the serious or avid angler.

Snook are a sought out fish in the south and in Central America and are considered excellent eating fish by avid angers. You can target these fish in the backwaters, beaches and inlets expecially during the night or low light hours of the day as they are nocturnal feeders. If you choose to arrange a trip with Captain Richard for snook you'll need to call in advance to find out what's the best place and time for when you are coming too the Daytona area. Captain Richard has targeted snook as a gamefish for his entire life and is a second generation snook fisherman out of Florida as his father often pursued them in south Florida during the 1950's thru the 70's and now follows Richard's lead for where the snook are biting around our area.

When's the Best Time to Go Mackerel 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.
