Thinking about a Fishing Charter?

Writer's picture: Captain Matt Captain Matt

Location is an important factor when choosing a fishing charter, but it isn't just about proximity to where you are staying. Although, it is nice to fish close to home or hotel, it is more important to select a location based on the type of fishing on your agenda. Our unique fishing charters are along the coast of New Smyrna Beach and in Mosquito Lagoon, where we target speckled trout, redfish, and those trophy sized bull reds. Whether light tackle, fly fishing, inshore, fishing the flats, or backcountry, Code Red Fishing Charters can provide you with the ultimate fishing excursion. The type of fish you want to catch, location, boat, amenities, and the captain on board all play a very important role in choosing your next fishing charter.

LOCATION AND FISH


We fish right off New Smyrna Beach and in our favorite redfish honeypot, Mosquito Lagoon. It's no longer a secret why anglers choose fishing in the Lagoon or why it's one of our preferred fishing spots. The fish we target and the waters we explore are part of what makes our service so unique.


Redfish and speckled trout are the top targets on our excursions. Speckled Trout or spotted sea trout are found in the shallow grassy flats from Maryland all the way down to Florida. These fish respond to large live or artificial bait and top water baiting. Redfish are bottom feeders. Early morning fishing excursions are the best time to hook a red.

Places to Stay


We are surrounded by hotels to accommodate you and your crew, just in case one of our exciting fishing hot spots isn't in your backyard. We recommend the Mosquito Lagoon Fish Camp for the ultimate experience. Other recommended hotels are the Hampton Inn New Smyrna Beach, The Riverview Hotel, and Spring Hill Suites by Marriott New Smyrna Beach


Fishing Charter Boat


Your boat will determine where you fish and the outcomes of your fishing excursion. Skinny waters like those found in Mosquito Lagoon can present some challenges to a lot of anglers. A shallow draft boat can be advantageous in these parts. Code Red Fishing Charters definitely has the advantage with an 18 ft shallow draft skiff for your angler crew. Our fishing charters offer a smaller and more intimate fishing experience, that provides all the bait, gear, and skill for you to fish like a pro angler while on board with our experienced captain.
