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. The clear conditions set the stage for a perfect day on the water, though we kept an eye out for those possible strong storms. We launched from 93 Dunlawton Ave, ready to explore the productive waters of Ponce Inlet.

Once the stage was set, we got down to business with some live bait fishing. The Gafftopsail sea catfish were the first to show up, with a nice 16-incher giving us a good fight. 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.
