The Indian River Lagoon is lots of action and has many different species ranging in size from 2 to 40 pounds! Anglers looking to fish for snook and tarpon, the Indian River Lagoon is the trip your looking for. Back water fishing by nature is less technical than flats fishing and allows the angler to fish in the beautiful, calm waters surrounding the flats and mangrove channels. The key words here are calm water. This is similar to fishing on a lake back home with very little chance of rough water. These trips routinely produce great fishing for snook, redfish, sea trout, and small tarpon, to name a few.

Located 45 minutes south of Cocoa Beach, and 90 minutes south/east of Orlando the Sebastion area have some spectacular flat's water fishing. If you are looking for that slam three (redfish, trout, snook) on top water, this is the trip for you. Tarpon in the 10-60 pound range move into to the back waters starting in April, and leave as the first cold fronts start to show. The fall and spring mullet runs really get these fish fired up. It's also a great place to fish at night around the full moons in the summer times for big snook.

The Indian River Lagoon is North America’s most diverse estuary with more than 2,200 different species of animals and 2,100 species of plants. The Lagoon varies in width from ½ mile to 5 miles and averages 3 feet in depth. It serves as a spawning and nursery ground for many different species of oceanic and lagoon fish and shellfish.

The lagoon also has one of the most diverse bird populations anywhere in America. Nearly 1/3 of the nation’s manatee population lives here or migrates through the Lagoon seasonally. In addition, its ocean beaches provide one of the densest sea turtle nesting areas found in the Western Hemisphere.
