Capt. Karty could live and fish anywhere in the world but he chooses to stalk the
Redfish and Speckled Seatrout of
Mosquito Lagoon and the Indian River estuary system. Redfish and trout are
always finding new ways to frustrate and deceive anglers, creating an addicting challenge for new and old fishermen alike. The natural
habitat of Mosquito Lagoon is a haven for mammals, birds, reptiles and fish, where trout, flounder, and other sport fish flourish. Dolphins are everyday sights and
Manatees are prolific in the warmer months. Mosquito Lagoon boasts the most diverse bird population in North America from birds of prey, like Osprey and Bald-Eagles,
to a multitude of shorebird species.
Captain Karty's Boat is a well loved 19 foot tunnel hull that offers a smooth ride to the skinny waters. The front deck is clean and perfectly suited for
Fly Fishing. Our boat performs for everyone, from the many families with young children to the older folks. Our boat can comfortably accommodate up to four anglers
or a wheelchair.
Capt. Karty meets most of his anglers at Riverbreeze Park, located in Oak Hill. Our Directions page will assist you in getting there with GPS instructions and
directions from Orlando and New Smyrna Beach. Riverbreeze Park also has restrooms and a children’s playground.
New Smyrna Beach is a quaint beachside town that has been awarded the Florida’s Best Beach designation by the Orlando Sentinel four years in a row. New Smyrna
Beach’s small town flavor keeps folks coming back year after year. Our Accommodations page provides links to local establishments. We are happy to offer help for
any aspect of your vacation.
