Welcome to Ponce Inlet, home of the worlds most run down, cheap, and just straight up sad charter fleet in the world. Located just south of Florida’s most famous dumpster
fire (see Daytona Beach), this small town is home to some of the worst
fishing on the east coast. Want to go catch a mahi, tuna, or even a sailfish? Well, this is not the place for you. The majority of the charter boats here can barely clear the inlet, and when they do they certainly do not clear expectations whatsoever. If you show up to a charter here and see 5 spinning rods and a
bucket of live
shrimp, turn around and walk away.
Don’t even worry about the deposit money, it is worth losing it instead of getting your brains beat out on whatever 26
foot beep
bob you booked! And if you do make it out, expect nothing less than the most disappointing and inconsistent fishery in the entire state! While the boats up in St. Augustine are catching their limits of tuna, you and your “guide” will be
fishing for weakfish, margates, and the occasional puppy shark. If that all sounds good to you, than we will see you soon in this fishless, god forsaken inlet.
“Welcome to
ponce inlet, where the ocean comes to die!”
“Hey man did you catch anything today?”
“No, I went out of
ponce inlet”
“Just caught 7 barracudas and 4 sharks on my 8 hour with Rainbow
Fishing Charters. I will never come back to Ponce Inlet.”
