Fishing Guide in Indian River Lagoon

The Indian River Lagoon, a sprawling estuary system, is a treasure trove for anglers seeking a variety of inshore species.

On the Water

Fishing Indian River Lagoon

Fishing the Indian River Lagoon from our Jensen, FL base means exploring a vast and productive ecosystem. This brackish water environment is renowned for its healthy populations of Mangrove Snapper and Lane Snapper, which are a blast to catch on light tackle. We also frequently encounter Gag Grouper in the lagoon's deeper channels and around structure. The beauty of the lagoon is its year-round fishing potential, though the bite for certain species can shift with the seasons. Cobia are also a possibility, especially during their migrations through the area. A trip into the lagoon offers a more relaxed pace compared to offshore excursions, focusing on skillful presentation and tight-line action.

Captain Kenny Hass

“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…”

“Best charter on the treasure coast! I’ve been out twice with Travis, once for mutton once for grouper. Caught target species both times. Very knowledgeable, and works hard to put you on fish.”
