On the Water

Fishing Indian River

When we talk about fishing the Indian River, we're referring to the expansive waters that stretch north and south of Jensen. This is our go-to area for consistent inshore action. We love targeting the plentiful Mangrove Snapper and Lane Snapper that inhabit its many oyster bars, channels, and bridges. Gag Grouper also find refuge in the deeper sections and around submerged structures within the river. The fishing here is dynamic, with different species becoming more active depending on water temperature and tidal flow throughout the year. A charter focused on the Indian River provides a fantastic opportunity to experience the rich biodiversity of this vital waterway, often with spectacular results.

Captain and the crew are top notch! I have fished all over the east coast from New England to Florida, party boats, charters, you name it. Captain Travis and his mate Matt are one of the best, if not the best crews I have fished with. His tackle matches him, top notch. Even…
