Flounder Gigging Charters in New Smyrna Beach

Florida’s Best Kept Night Fishing Secret

​

No rods. No reels. No sunscreen.

​

Just underwater lights, calm water, and your chance to strike.

​

If you're looking for a fishing charter near Daytona Beach or New Smyrna Beach that’s completely different, this is it. Flounder gigging is one of Florida’s most exciting nighttime fishing experiences, and Capt. Chad is one of the only guides in the region who offers it.

​

You’ll cruise the shallow backwaters of the Indian River Lagoon, lights blazing, eyes scanning the bottom for movement. When you see a flounder? You strike. No casting. No bait. Just a spear, a steady hand, and an unforgettable Florida night.

What It’s Like

The marsh comes to life.


We’ll start our trip by lighting up the water like a stage. Custom halogen and LED rigs cut through the dark, revealing the fish just beneath the surface.

​

We navigate through smooth, skinny water with no waves and no sunburn while you stand on the bow ready for action. It’s visual, hands on, and full of adrenaline from start to finish.
