Daytona Beach Fishing Report

January 3, 2024

Weather is cooling down and the fishing is heating up. The waters of Flagler Beach, Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach and Port Orange are heating up with the Redfish bite as they are schooling up in the shallows. This is the time of year where you down size your baits. I like using 2″ mud minnows or about a 3″ live shrimp on a 1/8th oz jighead. If redfish is not your cup of tea there is also a sheephead and black drum bite as well. The bait to use is simple live or fresh dead shrimp on fish finder rig.…

Billy is the only captain that I will book with in the Daytona beach area.

I have fished with Billy multiple times. This past week we were in Daytona and Billy took my oldest and I out on the Halifax. To say we had a ball is an understatement. She has not stopped talking about our time fishing with Billy and she is already begging to go again next year. Billy is the only captain that I will book with in the Daytona beach area. I highly recommend using Billy.

I can’t wait to book another trip!

My daughter and I recently went on a fishing charter trip that exceeded all my expectations! Captain Billy was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about fishing, making it an enjoyable experience from start to finish. The boat was well-maintained and equipped with everything needed, which definitely enhanced our chances of catching fish. We were taken to some fantastic spots, and were able to see a lot of the area while catching fish. He was great at providing tips and tricks, which was appreciated by myself and my 10 year old daughter. The man is wonderful with kids and has the patience of a saint. Overall, it was a fun and memorable day on the water, and I can’t wait to book another trip! Highly recommend!
