Deep sea fishing can guarantee any angler fish provided the seas allow us to venture out. Fishing along our coast let’s anglers try many types of fish and many techniques in order to catch these awesome species. We have fish that will either constantly move or migrate up and down the coast and far out offshore New Smyrna beach.The pelagic species such as Cobia, Amberjack, king mackerel, and mahi mahi are our main target, cruising the coast April thru October here. These fish range from a few pounds to over 100 pounds and are very strong fighting fish giving an angler a fight to remember. Our coast has lots of bottom fish examples too, grouper, many types of snapper like mango snapper, redsnapper ,vermillion snapper, lane snapper, and mutton snapper along with trigger fish and seabass.Some history about the deep sea fishing here. In the Seventy’s nearly all natural reefs were wiped out or overfished so a plan was put in place to provide more places to give species places to repopulate. Thousands of artificial reefs along our coast were introduced by the Florida fish and wildlife commission and by the Army Corps of Engineers. Over 35yrs and thousands of artificial reefs later it has given new life to our offshore fisheries and some of the best fishing in the world is right here in Daytona beach Florida. These reef projects are still ongoing, providing new life and crustaceans along with other life forms grow within one year of a new reef site. Providing food source and structure that’s cover for smaller fish, large bait pods gather here along with many species that find these artificial reefs home. There are still some natural reefs that have gotten a lot better due to so many new reef sites to fish in because they aren’t over fished. They are sometimes overlooked with so many places to fish now. Deep sea fishing  out of Ponce Inlet is a fishermen’s paradise with many opportunities to catch the biggest fish of your life.
