A most delightful town
The town of New Smyrna is worth seeing and visiting. We enjoyed walking along the waterfront. You can drive your car to the beach. Ate dinner near the water at one of the Town Tavern which featured a live band. My friend and I went fishing, what fun, highly recommend it!

Obstacles conquered!
Started out with a full moon the night before and wind blowing 3 times what was forecast but Captain Brad had a plan. We got out and in no time had fish on! I had no expectations for what we might catch which turned out great 8 different species and two nice redfish! I had a great time!

Four hour trip with Captain Brad
We had a great time with Captain Brad. He had us on the fish right away in the morning and always kept us moving looking for more. He was very knowledgeable.

The licensed captain, boat and fuel, your saltwater fishing license, rods, reels, tackle and bait. Not included: the captain’s tip (10–20% is customary) and food and drinks.
Which trip length should I pick?
Longer trips give your captain more time to run farther offshore and try more spots. A 5-hour trip is a good start if you are new to offshore fishing.
Is offshore fishing good for kids and first-timers?
Offshore trips run on the open ocean, so they suit anglers who are comfortable on a boat in some swell. For young kids or first-timers, an inshore trip in protected water is often a better fit.
