Fishing New Smyrna Beach
New Smyrna Beach sits at the top of Mosquito Lagoon, the shallow, grass-floored estuary that made Florida's redfish reputation. Tailing reds and gator trout work the flats on the inside, snook and tarpon push up through Ponce Inlet in summer, and the beach out front is a solid pompano and whiting surf. The lagoon is skinny and clear — a poling platform and a light wind are worth more than horsepower here.
Target species
- Redfish
- Spotted seatrout
- Black drum
- Snook
Local tip: Lagoon flats are wind-driven more than tide-driven; a calm morning with clear water is the whole game.
