September 2026 Redfish & Snook Fishing Report — New Smyrna Beach, FL
September has brought strong inshore action to the New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach area, and redfish have been the star of the show. Reel Deal Fishin' Charters has been putting anglers on quality fish trip after trip, whether it's someone's first time on the water or a lifelong angler chasing a personal best.
Redfish
The redfish bite has been excellent this month, with fish ranging from smaller slot sized reds up to some genuinely oversized fish mixed in. Multiple hookups in a single trip have been common, giving everyone on board a shot at a bent rod.
Redfish activity tends to stay strong along Florida's east coast through September as bait moves through the shallows and the shift out of peak summer heat gets fish more active in the skinny water. These are hard fighting fish, and watching one peel drag never gets old, whether it's someone's first redfish or their fiftieth.
Snook
Snook have been mixing in with the redfish action, including some bigger fish in the mix. Snook fishing typically stays productive into early fall along this stretch of coast as water temps hold warm and bait stays thick in the backwaters.
Snook are one of the most exciting fish to target inshore because there's no telling when a big one is going to eat. A quiet morning can turn into one worth remembering with a single strike.
With plenty of bait around the area right now, the redfish and snook bite is expected to stay productive as the month moves along.
