Daytona Beach, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
Ponce Inlet
South of Ponce Inlet 7-10 miles within 1/2 mile from shore rays have been reported with very few cobia on them, but if you find the right one laying on the surface he should have 5 or 6 cobes with him. One ray will have none, find one just down the beach, and he'll have them all over him! Recent reports I've heard today are from 2 fellow fishing guides that work out of Ponce. Yesterday, 2 were caught by Captain Fred Robert off the same ray as other one's were seen jumping out of the water.
Bull redfish are also being caught inside the inlet with a 38 pounder yesterday while filming a t.v. show with Captain Wayne Sommers. A live pogie or pinfish has been the bait of choice.
Fishing is definantly heating up on the east central Florida coast, so book now for some nearshore action!!

Besides writing monthly fishing reports for my website, Coastal Angler Magazine, and various other organizations, I also enjoy working with and am on the pro staff for Rip Tide Lures, High Roller Lures, Berkley, Pure Fishing, Daiichi Hooks, and Costa Del Mar Sunglasses.
