Whether you're a seasoned angler or just looking to wet a line for the first time, we've got you covered with all the gear and know-how you need. Let's make some memories on the water!

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're sipping your morning coffee as we push off from the dock at 7:30 AM sharp. The sun's just peeking over the horizon, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. As we motor out, I'll give you the lowdown on what's biting and where. We've got room for up to 6 people, so bring the crew! For $319, you'll get 4 solid hours of fishing time, all the gear you need, and even some snacks to keep you going. No need to sweat the details – we've got your fishing license covered too. And hey, if plans change, no worries. You can cancel up to 3 days before without losing a dime.

Techniques That Hook 'Em

We don't just toss a line and hope for the best. We're talking about real fishing here. We'll mix it up with bottom fishing, jigging, and light tackle techniques. I'll show you how to work a jig just right to entice those big snook, or how to finesse your bait along the bottom for a monster black drum. And if you're up for a real rush, we might even try our luck with some shark fishing. Don't worry if you're new to this – I'll walk you through every cast and retrieve. By the end of the trip, you'll be handling that rod like a pro.

Customer Stories

"We went out fishing with Christian Ortiz, and it was an absolute blast. From the first cast to the last reel-in, the vibes were on point. 🎣🔥 Dude knows everything about the local fish—seriously, it felt like getting a guided tour of the water. Learned so much, laughed a ton, and caught some solid fish along the way. Just one of those days where everything clicks. 🐟☀️ If you're ever thinking of hitting the water and want someone who knows their stuff and keeps it fun the whole time, Christian's your guy. 10/10 day. 🙌" - Keaton

Species You'll Want to Hook

Snook: These bad boys are the rockstars of inshore fishing. They're sneaky, strong, and put up one heck of a fight. Snook love to hang out around structure, so we'll be targeting mangroves, docks, and bridge pilings. The thrill of seeing a big snook explode on your lure is hard to beat. They're most active in the warmer months, but we can find them year-round if you know where to look.

Black Drum: Don't let their ugly mugs fool you – these fish are a blast to catch. Black drum are like the bulldogs of the fish world: stubborn, strong, and always ready for a tussle. They're bottom feeders, so we'll be using some techniques to get our bait right in their faces. The best part? They can grow to over 100 pounds, so you never know when you might hook into a real monster.

Sheepshead: These striped convicts are tricky little devils. They've got a mouth full of teeth that look like they belong to a sheep (hence the name), and they use them to crush crabs and barnacles. Sheepshead are masters of the light bite, so catching them takes finesse and patience. But man, are they good eating if you decide to keep a few for dinner.

Bull Shark: Now we're talking about some serious adrenaline. Bull sharks are the bruisers of the inshore world. They're strong, they're mean, and they'll test every bit of your fishing skill. We don't target them all the time, but when conditions are right, hooking into one of these beasts will give you a fishing story you'll be telling for years.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I could go on all day about the fish, but it's more than that. It's about that moment when the sun's climbing, the water's calm, and suddenly your rod bends double. It's about the laughs we share, the high-fives after a good catch, and those "you should've seen it" stories. Every trip is different, and that's what keeps it exciting. Plus, with all the gear provided and the know-how to put you on fish, it's a stress-free way to experience some of the best fishing Daytona has to offer.

Top Catches This Season

Lately, the fishing's been on fire. We've been crushing it with some monster redfish in the shallows, especially on those early morning incoming tides. The snook bite has been insane around the bridges, particularly when we're using live bait. And for those of you who like a little variety, the flounder fishing has picked up big time near the inlet. Just last week, we landed a doormat that pushed 8 pounds – a real beauty!

Gear and Goodies

No need to raid the local tackle shop before your trip. We've got you covered with top-notch rods and reels that are perfectly matched to the fish we're after. Our tackle box is stocked with all the lures and rigs that are proven to work in these waters. Live bait? You bet. We'll have a mix of shrimp, mullet, and whatever else is working best that day. And don't sweat the small stuff – we've even got sunscreen on board in case you forget yours. Just bring yourself, maybe a hat and some shades, and we'll handle the rest.

Local Knowledge, Big Results

Here's the deal – fish don't read calendars or weather reports. But after years on these waters, I've got a pretty good idea of where they'll be hanging out. We'll check the tides, wind, and water temperature to put together a game plan for the day. Maybe we'll start by throwing some topwater lures for snook around the mangroves, then switch to jigging for black drum as the tide changes. If the bite slows down, no worries – we'll run to another spot. This isn't a one-trick pony kind of trip. We've got options, and we'll use every minute to maximize your chances of landing some quality fish.

More Than Just Fishing

Sure, we're here to catch fish, but there's more to it than that. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins playing in our wake or manatees cruising by. We might spot some ospreys diving for their breakfast or pelicans doing their thing. It's a whole ecosystem out here, and getting to see it up close is part of what makes these trips special. And hey, if you've got questions about the area, the wildlife, or even the best place to grab a bite after we get back to the dock, I'm all ears. Consider me your floating concierge.
