Red Snapper

One for the books today! Leonard and I headed out this spring afternoon for some offshore action around Port Orange. Started our trip right at midday with clear skies that turned cloudy as the afternoon rolled on. Water conditions were co-operating nicely for our offshore run with Top Notch Adventures.

With our gear rigged and ready, we focused on bottom fishing and drift fishing techniques to target the deeper waters off Port Orange. Leonard hooked up with some solid Red Snapper and we managed to boat a nice Gag Grouper too. The jigging worked well when we found the right structure. Port Orange offshore waters are perfect for this type of fishing - the bottom structure holds plenty of bait and the currents keep things active. We wrapped up the trip with tight lines and bent rods all morning!

Y'all thinking about getting out on the water for some serious offshore action? Port Orange offers some of the best fishing opportunities you'll find, and our 4 Hour Offshore Charter with Top Notch Adventures puts you right in the heart of it. We work the spread using bottom fishing, drift fishing, and jigging techniques that consistently produce Red Snapper and Gag Grouper in these productive waters.

Action-packed day from the get-go! Webster and their crew joined us for a spring early morning trip with partly cloudy skies and rain throughout the day. The conditions didn't slow us down as we headed out to work the wrecks around Port Orange. Top Notch Adventures had everything dialed in for a solid day on the water.

Once the stage was set, we focused on light tackle fishing with bottom fishing and jigging techniques to target the structure. The wrecks off Port Orange are perfect for this approach since the fish stack up around these underwater features. Webster's crew pulled in some nice squeteague and redfish using our jigging setup. The bite was hot even with the weather moving through, and lines in the water kept us busy all morning.

The Port Orange wrecks delivered exactly what we expected. Bottom fishing worked great for the redfish while the squeteague came up on our lighter jigs. Even with rain rolling in, we kept working the spread and stayed hooked up. We wrapped up the trip with great catches and smiles all around, cruisin' the flats back to the dock!

Non-stop bites all day long! Summer fishing in Port Orange FL was in full swing as I took Renae and their crew out for an early morning adventure with Top Notch Adventures.

We mixed it up with some surf casting, which proved to be the ticket for landing an Atlantic Sharpnose Shark. The real excitement came when we switched to light tackle jigging - that's when we hooked into a 16-inch Bonnethead Shark. The variety kept things interesting, and we were just getting warmed up.

The highlight of the day came when we landed a impressive 27-inch Spanish Mackerel. That catch really showcased why Port Orange is such a great spot for inshore fishing. We wrapped up our 4-hour charter with smiles all around, having experienced a true taste of what these waters have to offer.

Crappie caught in Port Orange, FL with Aaron Highers's charter.

Crappie (Pomoxis species) belong to the sunfish family Centrarchidae and are among the most sought-after freshwater gamefish in Florida. These silvery panfish are distinguished by their compressed bodies, large mouths, and distinctive dark vertical bars or speckled patterns. In Port Orange waters, crappie provide consistent action for anglers targeting structure-rich areas.<h3>Crappie Overview</h3>Two species inhabit Florida waters: black crappie and white crappie, though black crappie are more common in the state's freshwater systems. These schooling fish are prized for their fighting ability on light tackle and exceptional table fare. Crappie are structure-oriented fish that relate to fallen trees, brush piles, docks, and submerged vegetation.<h3>Crappie Habitat and Distribution</h3>Crappie thrive in Florida's lakes, rivers, canals, and ponds with adequate structure and forage. They prefer areas with moderate depths ranging from 6 to 20 feet, though they move shallower during spawning periods. Port Orange's freshwater systems provide ideal habitat with abundant structure and consistent water levels throughout the year.<h3>Crappie Size and Weight</h3>Most crappie caught in Florida waters range from 8 to 12 inches in length, weighing between 0.5 to 2 pounds. Trophy specimens can reach 15 inches and exceed 3 pounds, particularly in nutrient-rich waters with abundant forage. Larger crappie are typically found in deeper water around substantial structure.<h3>Crappie Diet and Behavior</h3>Crappie feed primarily on small fish, aquatic insects, and crustaceans. They are most active during low-light periods including dawn, dusk, and overcast conditions. These fish form schools and suspend at various depths depending on water temperature, oxygen levels, and forage availability.<h3>Crappie Spawning Season</h3>In Florida, crappie spawn from late winter through early spring when water temperatures reach 60-65 degrees. Males construct nests in shallow areas with sandy or gravel bottoms, often near protective cover. During this period, crappie are more aggressive and easier to locate in predictable shallow water areas.<h3>Crappie Fishing Techniques</h3>Successful crappie fishing relies on locating schools around structure using small jigs, live minnows, or small spoons. Vertical jigging around fallen trees and brush piles produces consistent results. Light tackle with 4-8 pound test line allows for better feel and presentation.
