Cocoa Beach Fishing Boat Charters, Vero Beach Fishing Guides and Fort Pierce Fishing.

Charter fishing in Cocoa Beach south to Vero Beach including the Fort Pierce fishing region are all inside of the much larger fishing area called the Indian River Lagoon. Cocoa Beach fishing is probably the most popular with most of the regions fishing guides. Most Cocoa Beach fishing guides run their charter trips in very shallow water or what is commonly referred too by experienced anglers as Cocoa Beach flats fishing. Cocoa beach fishing guides will target red drum or redfish as this is their name in the south. Above the North Carolina state line these fish are usually referred to as red drum. A powerful fish that can fight exceptionally well in shallow water making for a fun catch every time.

The Cocoa Beach fishing region is flush with numerous local Florida fishing guides, most of whom are expert anglers touting great reputations earned through a lifetime of fishing the Indian River Lagoon.  These Cocoa Beach fishing guides and charter Captains enjoy some of the most spectacular and exciting fishing on the Atlantic Coast and in the world. An experienced Cocoa Beach fishing guide can offer a wide variety of species for you to target. The Atlantic Ocean has many exotic species of fish and many make their way into the Indian River Lagoon through Sebastian Inlet near the Vero Beach fishing region to live on the flats. Once on the flats of Indian River Lagoon they become the target species of fishing guides in Cocoa Beach, Vero Beach, Titusville, and the entire area from Sebastian Inlet north to Port Canaveral which is all part of what Floridians call the Space Coast.

This region of Florida, the central east coast is also known for the great offshore fishing action, probably more so than the inshore flats fishing according to all the Florida sport fishing charters that call Fort Pierce, Sebastian Inlet, or Port Canaveral their home port. Cocoa Beach sport fishing charters, Sebastian Inlet sportfishing charters, and the rest of the regional Florida charter fishing boats leave the shallow inshore waters and head offshore where the big game sportfish and billfish lurk. Florida offshore sport fishing is for anglers looking for those adrenaline pumping, line stripping, rod bending hook-ups that will put all their fishing skills they have learned over the years to the ultimate test.

They say the fish are bigger in Florida and you will experience this first hand the next time you are charter fishing in Florida. If you are a visitor to Fort Pierce, Indian River Lagoon or Mosquito Lagoon then there is a long list of Florida fishing charters and/or guides you can book for full day or half day fishing trips.

Local fishing areas fished by Florida fishing guides include Indian River Lagoon, Mosquito Lagoon, and the Banana River from the well known Port Canaveral area down to Sebastian Inlet and Fort Pierce fishing grounds.
