East Central Florida is home to some of the United States' most amazing and versatile options for anglers to enjoy. Whether one's preference is freshwater, saltwater, or brackish, it can be found here. Taking a Daytona Beach fishing charter is the most effective way to fully experience each of these incredible options.

This part of Florida has qualities that make it stand out from the others. One of the favorite spots for both locals and tourists, novice fishermen and avid anglers alike, is the incredible Mosquito Lagoon. This body of water is located at the northern end of the Indian River in Volusia County and its positioning is exactly what makes it so unique.

This body of water is positioned so that it is part of both Canaveral National Seashore and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. Being nestled in these two parcels of more than 167,000 combined acres of protected land means that this location is perhaps one of Florida's least developed zones. It is filled with wildlife and fish species.

The regions unique conditions provide the casual fisherman and the beginning novice a fun time, but it also challenges that old angling pro. The tidal flows create areas of water that are slow, shallow and impressively clear. Many types of fish can be easily spotted, making it easier to make a more accurate cast.

The salinity levels allow quite a few species that would normally spawn in open water do so here. This is one of very few places on Earth where the rare combination of five different types of sea grass, Red Mangrove and Spartina all flourish in the same ecosystem. Tarpon, flounder, grouper, spotted sea trout, large mouth bass, crappie and shad are plentiful during their seasons.

There are many incredible sights possible because from the protection from the dual wildlife preserves. The lagoon even has its own indigenous family of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins trying to get attention. Imaging watching stingrays glide in the shallows while observing large groups of fish just below the surface elsewhere.
