Nearshore Fishing Charter – New Smyrna Beach
The Sweet Spot Between Shoreline and Open Sea
More thrill than the flats. Less haul than offshore. Nearshore fishing is that perfect in-between—the zone where serious sport meets easy access. Just a few miles off New Smyrna’s coast, these waters explode with life: kingfish blitzing bait balls, cobia shadowing rays, and tarpon showing off in the surfline.
Just Beyond the Breakers
We’ll launch from New Smyrna and shoot straight into action—no long runs, just fast fishing. Expect to cast to surface-feeding schools, troll for speedsters, or bottom-drop over structure, depending on what’s hot.
With Capt. Chad at the helm, you’re in good hands—he knows these currents, ledges, and feeding patterns like the back of his hand.
This is the trip for anglers who want real pull, real fast—without heading 20 miles out.
