Flounder Gigging Charter – New Smyrna Beach
Night Fishing, Reimagined
No rods. No reels. Just lights, stealth, and your aim. Flounder gigging is one of Florida’s most unique fishing experiences—and New Smyrna’s shallow backwaters are the perfect stage for this nighttime hunt.
Step Into the Shallows
As the sun sets, we outfit the skiff with high-powered LED lights and glide into the skinny water. You’ll stand on the bow, scanning the sandy bottom for flounder hiding just beneath the surface.
When you see one, you strike. That’s gigging—and yes, it’s as fun as it sounds.
This is hands-on, close-quarters fishing. A little stealth, a sharp eye, and a quick jab are all you need to turn the quiet night into an unforgettable hunt.
