My family has a trip scheduled to the Daytona Beach area in Florida in March. Anyone have any recommendations for a guide/charter in the area? There are plenty to choose from, but it’s hard to tell the good from the bad from looking at their websites.
I am open to type of fishing – inshore, offshore or shark. Looking for action more than anything. What is best at that time of year? I have never fished saltwater before.
Thanks

Family went out for a half a day and had gotten into some good action. He was very good with the kids who are 11 and 6. We went out with him last September (2019)
I’ll be following along as we’re going to that area (New Smyrna Beach) in April. I’ll have at least an 8-year old with me, possibly the FW and a 6-year old, too. 
Fred with Fishing-guy.com. Been a number of years since Ive fished with him. He put me on some huge redfish. At that time he focused mainly on throphy fish. Told me right away if I was looking for fish to eat he had another guy that could take me out. He is easy to find on Facebook.
Crittergitter fleet is another popular charter boat service in that area.
I used On the hook charters last year and had a really good time. They put us on fish all morning. Corey Simmons 386-631-8030
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I’ll check them out and let you know what I end up doing.
Any body else with recommendations, I would still like to hear.

Where floridaians go! Man I miss that area, it’s a gem. But you are the second tourist I know that is going there this year, the word must be getting out! Don’t forget to check out Canaveral National Seashore. The beach is less busy. Smyrna Dunes park is cool too. Say hi to the tortoises for me. If you love nature, drive down to Titusville and check out Merritt Island National Refuge.
Lastly, off the beer thread, try a Tomoka Hazy Sunshine when you are down here.
Almost forgot the tree top bar is cool. But a must go is JBs Fish Camp. That place is cool.
Thanks, Pug!

Is that still bathing suit optional? 
Never went, but yes apparently Playalinda beach on Merritt island is bathing suit optional.

I just booked an early April trip with Capt. Corey. The FW and I are bringing the kids along. Our 8-year old is obsessed with sharks right now, so we’re doing a shark trip (and they don’t even know we have a trip planned, so this’ll be fun).

Sounds like my kinda place. 
Mine too! I mean Merritt Island. I’ve never been to a nude beach, but when I talk to people who have, they say it’s not what you expect and not who you’d like to see.
This is a good time of year to bring a pole while touring Merritt island. The little ponds and canals along the road will hold fish, especially juvenile tarpon for your bucket list.

Checked that one off in Puerto Rico.
I was talking about my bucket lol. I need a damn boat!
