Get ready to experience some of the best inshore fishing New Smyrna Beach has to offer! Our 8-hour private trip with Right Off Rip Fishing is perfect for anglers looking to spend a full day on the water chasing after Florida's most prized inshore species. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, Captain Zachary Griffith knows all the local honey holes where the fish are biting.

A Day on the Water

When you step aboard our well-equipped fishing vessel, you're in for a treat. We'll cruise through the pristine waterways of New Smyrna Beach, hitting up productive spots where snook, redfish, and trout love to hang out. With room for up to six guests, it's a great trip for families, friends, or even a corporate outing. Don't worry if you've got a bigger crew - we can set you up with additional boats to make sure everyone gets in on the action.

As the sun rises over the Atlantic, we'll get you rigged up with top-notch gear and share some local knowledge to boost your chances of landing a trophy. From the backwaters to the flats, we'll cover plenty of ground to put you on the fish. And hey, if one spot isn't producing, no worries - we've got plenty of backup plans up our sleeves.

Tactics for Trophies

Inshore fishing in New Smyrna Beach is all about versatility. We'll mix it up with a variety of techniques to keep things interesting and productive. You might find yourself sight casting to tailing redfish in skinny water, working a topwater lure for explosive snook strikes, or jigging deep channels for monster trout.

We provide all the gear you'll need, from light tackle spinning setups to baitcasting rigs. Live bait, artificial lures, we've got it all covered. Captain Zach will show you the ropes on how to work each bait effectively, reading the water, and presenting your offering just right to entice those wary fish into biting.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Snook: These hard-fighting linesiders are a Florida favorite. Known for their powerful runs and acrobatic leaps, snook put up a fight that'll test your skills and leave you grinning. They love to hang around structure, so we'll be targeting mangrove shorelines, dock pilings, and oyster bars. The bite can be hot year-round, but spring and fall are prime time for trophy snook.

Grey Snapper (Mangrove Snapper): Don't let their size fool you - these tasty little devils are smart and quick. Grey snappers are masters of the short strike, so you'll need to stay on your toes. We'll find them around rocky areas, bridges, and artificial reefs. They're great eating and make for some fun light tackle action.

Tarpon: The "Silver King" is the holy grail of inshore fishing. These prehistoric beasts can grow over 100 pounds and are known for their spectacular aerial displays. Tarpon fishing is a game of patience and precision, but when it all comes together, it's an experience you'll never forget. Peak season runs from late spring through summer.

Redfish: With their copper color and distinctive spot near the tail, redfish are a sight to behold. These bulldogs of the flats will test your drag and your determination. We'll look for them tailing in shallow grass flats or cruising along oyster bars. Fall is prime time for big bull reds, but you can catch them year-round.

Crevalle Jack: If you're after pure, unadulterated power, the crevalle jack delivers in spades. These bruisers will make blistering runs that'll have your reel screaming. We often find them busting bait schools on the surface - a thrilling sight that gets every angler's heart racing. They're around all year but are especially active in the warmer months.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Our 8-hour trip isn't just about catching fish - it's about creating memories. You'll get to soak in the natural beauty of New Smyrna Beach's waterways, spot wildlife like dolphins and manatees, and maybe even learn a new fishing trick or two from Captain Zach. It's a chance to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with what really matters - good times with good people in the great outdoors.
