Night Fishing | Captain Bach Charters

When the sun sets over New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, Coco Beach, or a surrounding area, the water doesn’t go quiet—it lights up. With the right tide and timing, night fishing offers explosive action and unique visuals that day trips can’t match.

Captain Bach Charters runs private night fishing trips for 1–2 anglers in the New Smyrna Beach area, targeting snook, tarpon, trout, and more. These are focused, stealth-driven outings along docks, shadow lines, and current seams. Whether you’re casting a fly or skipping soft plastics, the rewards come fast—and often unexpectedly.

Most night trips focus on inshore predatory species that feed on bait congregating around artificial light or shadow lines.

Common Nighttime Species:

Snook – An active nighttime predator. Found under dock lights, around bridge pilings, and along current edges.
Tarpon – Known for their nocturnal feeding, tarpon can be targeted around bridges, canals, and dock lights during the most aggressive feed.
Spotted Seatrout – Often stack beneath lights and ambush from below.
Black Drum – May cruise structure or bottom feed near deeper bridges.
Bull Redfish – More active at night and can turn on with the right tide.

Your approach is tailored based on moon phase, tide swing, and species behavior.

Captain Bach’s night fishing trips run from early evening through late-night hours, depending on the moon, current, and weather. Trips are typically 3–5 hours and entirely private.
