Saltwater and Freshwater FishingNew Smyrna Beach, Florida, is truly an angler’s paradise. Situated on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon, the New Smyrna Beach area is located on part of the 3,000-mile Intracoastal Waterway system. Ponce de Leon Inlet at the north end of the island provides deep-water access for incredible sportfishing while 35 miles of shoreline keep inshore anglers busy in the Indian River Lagoon.

The granite rock jetty just south of Ponce de Leon Inlet provides soft sand on either side, perfect for surf fishing, while the deep channel at the mouth of the Inlet attracts Pompano, whiting, flounder, redfish, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, and many other species. Regulars catch their own bait using sand fleas or fiddler crabs.

Every oceanfront rental property provides fishing access, making it a short walk to cast into the Atlantic Ocean. Several local bait shops and marinas rent equipment.

Resting 11 miles northeast of Ponce de Leon Inlet and measuring 446 feet, the WWII Liberty Ship, the USS Mindanao, was scuttled to form an artificial reef in 1980. In early 2018, the county sunk two additional ships that make bottom fishing and diving even more plentiful. The area produces sizable catches of triggerfish, snapper, grouper and lobster.

Offshore, free jumping sailfish and large tuna live 40 miles out where the intercontinental shelf drops. Nothing smokes a reel like a 100-plus-pound tuna. In the spring, sailfish migrate up the coast.

The Indian River Lagoon, which makes New Smyrna Beach a barrier island, is also a fishing mecca. Guides use fast, shallow water flats boats to hunt a variety of fish from big gator trout and snook to reds, flounder and black drum. In October and November, the river will produce tarpon in the 50- to 100-pound class.

The New Smyrna Beach area is known for its fishing heritage dating back hundreds of years and today’s waters are just as plentiful.

Know Your Management ZonesFor most species, Florida’s recreational bag limits apply to all state waters off Florida, which extend out to three nautical miles on the Atlantic. The exception is great barracuda, which is not specifically regulated in Volusia County.

How Your License Fee HelpsThe money collected from saltwater fishing licenses is used to improve and restore fish habitat and for marine fisheries research, law enforcement and public education on marine resources. An additional $.50 fee will be charged for any license or permit not purchased directly from the county tax collector.

Obtain immediate license privileges, 24 hours a day, at GoOutdoorsFlorida.com or by calling toll-free 888.FISH.FLORIDA (347.4356). Processing fees will apply to telephone and Internet sales. By purchasing a fishing license, fishing equipment and motorboat fuel, you also support the Sport Fish Restoration program, a user-pay, public-benefit system that funds sport fish conservation projects.

Hooked a Bird? Don’t Cut the Line!Even if you take precautionary steps to avoid it, you might hook a bird by accident. That’s when it’s important to remember — don’t cut the line and let the bird fly away with it attached. This can lead to entanglement, resulting in death of that bird and possibly others as well. Instead, follow these simple steps to unhook the bird: Reel. Remove. Release.

1. Wear safety glasses and enlist a partner for help.

2. Reel the bird in slowly and lift it from the water using a hoop net.

3. Grasp the bird by the head just behind the eyes and fold the wings against the body. For pelicans, hold the beak, keeping the mouth slightly open so it can breathe. Cover the bird’s head with a cloth to keep it calm.

4. Remove the barb and hook from the bird using pliers or clippers. If the bird is entangled, remove all line.

5. Release the bird (if healthy) by placing it on the ground near the water and allowing it to take off.

6. If the bird has swallowed the hook or is severely injured, contact a local wildlife rehabilitator.

How else can you help a seabird or wading bird?

1. Don’t feed the birds, this teaches them not to approach an area they are more likely to be hooked.

2. Dispose of filleted bones where birds can’t get them — in a trash can with lid or at home. Bones of a filleted fish can tear throats, stomachs and intestines.

3. Cover bait buckets and take unused bait home.

4. Dispose of fishing line in a monofilament recycling bin or cut into small pieces and place in the trash.

5. Don’t leave your line unattended.

6. Cast carefully to avoid being snared on trees, bridge piles, power lines or obstacles.

7. Help others learn what to do when they accidentally hook a bird.

How to Recycle Your Fishing LineFishing is one of Florida’s signature pastimes. However, fishing line and other tackle can cause problems when they enter Florida’s aquatic environment. Monofilament is the most common type of fishing line and is not biodegradable, lasting up to 600 years depending on environmental conditions. Because it is thin and often clear, it is very difficult for birds and animals to see. This can lead to them easily becoming entangled, resulting in different types of injuries.

You can do your part to help prevent these issues by avoiding snags and properly disposing of used fishing line through our Monofilament Recovery and Recycling Program (MRRP).

MRRP is an innovative statewide project dedicated to reducing damage caused by monofilament and fluorocarbon fishing line through cleanup events and a network of recycling bins and drop-off locations. Place your used monofilament or fluorocarbon in one of the PVC MRRP bins found at many boat ramps and piers. These bins are monitored regularly by individuals or organizations that have adopted them. Many tackle shops also act as convenient line recycling drop off locations. Once the monofilament and fluorocarbon is collected from recycling bins and cleaned by volunteers, it is then shipped to the Berkley Pure Fishing company in Iowa. Berkley melts the line down into plastic pellets that are made into other products such as tackle boxes, spools for line, and fish habitats.

To dispose of non-monofilament line and tackle to discard non-monofilament line, such as braid or wire, cut the line into 12-inch or smaller pieces and place into a covered trash receptacle. Line placed in trash receptacles without lids can blow out into the environment and entangle wildlife. When disposing of tackle such as hooks and lures, it is important to clip off sharp points to avoid injuring humans and wildlife. As part of the “Pitch It” campaign, soft plastic baits with the hook or jig head removed can be discarded in special program containers that are separate from monofilament recycling bins. Learn more about soft bait disposal and the “Pitch It” campaign by visiting pledgetopitchit.org.
