The inshore waters around Port Orange fish well year-round, with spring and fall offering the most consistent action. Water temperatures stay comfortable for extended fishing sessions, and the protected nature of these waters means trips rarely get cancelled due to weather. Tidal movement is key here – the best bite typically occurs during moving water, especially around oyster bars and grass flats.
Captain Highers adjusts techniques based on conditions, using everything from live shrimp under popping corks to artificial lures worked along drop-offs. The shallow draft boat allows access to areas larger vessels cannot reach, giving anglers a distinct advantage when targeting spooky inshore species.
