Fishing CHarters in East Central Florida for Anglers Who Want More
Fishing Charters Engineered for Serious Anglers
Captain Bach Charters is not a sightseeing operation. It’s a tactical, tide-focused charter experience for anglers who come to fish with purpose. Whether you're a complete novice or an experienced flyer angler, each trip is built around performance, water knowledge, and refined execution—not luck.
Captain Hunter Bach runs low-pressure fishing charters from New Smyrna Beach to Titusville, with no more than two anglers per trip. These are quiet, dialed-in sessions designed to get you close to the fish, not just the scenery.
Charter Options That Match Your Goals
Captain Bach offers four core trip types: inshore, nearshore, fly fishing, and night trips. Every trip includes high-end tackle, bait or artificials, flies (if fly fishing), and ice water. The experience is fully guided, fully private, and always built around the best water and timing for your targets.
Inshore/Flats Fishing
Targeting redfish, trout, snook, and more, explore the Mosquito Lagoon or Indian River fisheries. These renowned bodies of water are known for their world record sized trout, plentiful redfish, incredible sight fishing, and much more. Whether you’re a first timer or an experienced angler, Captain Bach will give you the best possible opportunity for success on these inshore waters with conventional or fly tackle.
Night Trips
Find out what goes bump in the night! On these trips you’ll enjoy fishing dock lights for Speckled Sea Trout, Snook, and Redfish or looking for truly monster Snook and Bull Redfish around structure.
Migrational Tarpon
The Tarpon migration in east central florida begins in May and often runs through September, peaking in July and August. This world famous species, the “Silver King”, offers some of the most exciting fishing possible. These fish can be aggressive feeders and, once hooked, will have your drag screaming as they run and exhibit jumps akin to acrobatic feats!
