Fishing Licenses

When fishing without a guide you most possess a valid Florida saltwater fishing license. Licenses can be purchased online at myFWC.com or by phone at (888) 347-4356. You can also buy a license in person at Walmart in New Smyrna Beach.

If fishing in Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, you must also have a current, signed  MINWR, fishing permit. The permit is free and self-issuing. Simply download, print, and sign it.

Fishing Map

We recommend Top Spot map number N219 for Mosquito Lagoon fishing. The map is available at many local tackle shops and marine supply stores, including Anchor Hardware near the camp. You can also order it from Amazon.

Boat Rental

Many guests bring their own boats, but if you need a boat we have a pontoon rental daylight hours only and jet ski rentals please contact us 386-210-4370 or 386-631-6539. We provide 1 tank of fuel and get it ready on the dock.

Launch Ramps

We have a small on-site ramp suitable for smaller boats and experienced trailer drivers. For larger boats, the ramp at River Breeze Park is better. It's free and has several lanes, but you'll need someone to drive your vehicle back to the camp. You'll also have about 1.5 miles of slow zone to get back to the camp.

Bait and Tackle

Livewire Bait Supply offers top-quality bait on the water. Jenny and Allen are typically at or near the River Breeze boat ramp in their bright red boat, but they can sometimes meet you close to the camp or in the lagoon. You may need to reserve bait as they only have so much. Call or text (386) 416-9879.

Anchor Hardware also sells a variety of live and frozen bait and has a complete selection of tackle and some marine supplies.

Non-Ethanol Gas

Ethanol-free fuel is available on the water at several marinas in New Smyrna Beach, plus at the Citgo S & B, 3001 India Palm Drive, Edgewater, (386) 423-8615, and Gate Food Mart, 115 N. Ridgewood Ave., Edgewater, (386) 424-9694

Groceries

Oak Hill Country Store is located very close to the camp on the corner of  US-1 and Canal Road in Oak Hill. They carry a wide variety of produce, fruits, dairy, ice and more.

Publix is about 5 miles north via U.S. 1.
