Fishing Charter with Captain Aaron Highers – Rates & Booking
Captain Aaron Highers of Top Notch Adventures brings years of local knowledge to every fishing charter departing from Port Orange. These half-day and full-day trips focus on the productive inshore waters of the Halifax River system and nearby Mosquito Lagoon.

Highlights of Port Orange Fishing
The waters around Port Orange offer some of Florida's most consistent inshore fishing opportunities. The Halifax River's grass flats and oyster bars hold redfish and spotted seatrout throughout the year, while the deeper channels produce flounder and black drum. Spring and fall months bring the most active bite, with cooler water temperatures triggering aggressive feeding patterns.
Captain Aaron focuses on light tackle techniques that maximize the fight and excitement of each catch. Live shrimp and artificial lures are the primary baits, adjusted based on current conditions and target species. The shallow draft boat allows access to skinny water flats where larger fish often feed undisturbed.
Local Tips & Conditions
Port Orange's location along the Intracoastal Waterway provides protection from rough offshore conditions while maintaining access to diverse fishing habitats. The best fishing typically occurs during moving tides, particularly the two hours before and after high tide. Wind direction plays a crucial role in fish location, with northeast winds often pushing baitfish into protected coves where gamefish follow.
Water clarity varies seasonally, with clearer conditions during winter months allowing for sight fishing opportunities. Summer brings warmer water temperatures and afternoon thunderstorms, making early morning trips the most productive. Captain Aaron monitors weather patterns closely and adjusts departure times to maximize fishing success while ensuring guest safety.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Each fishing charter includes a modern center console boat equipped with GPS, fish finder, and safety equipment. The boat comfortably accommodates up to four anglers with plenty of casting room and storage for personal items. Trips typically begin at sunrise to take advantage of the most active feeding periods, though afternoon departures are available upon request.
Guests should bring sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a cooler with ice for any fish they wish to keep. Captain Aaron provides all fishing equipment, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait. Florida fishing licenses are included in the charter rate for all participants. Light snacks and beverages are recommended for longer trips, though specific meal arrangements can be discussed when booking.
