About Deep Sea Fishing Fishing in Sebastian
Sebastian, Florida offers some of the finest deep sea fishing fishing on the Gulf Coast. Sebastian is home to Sebastian Inlet, one of the most productive fishing spots on Florida's entire Atlantic coast. The inlet's strong currents and rocky structure attract snook, tarpon, redfish, flounder, bluefish, and Spanish mackerel, making it a year-round hotspot for shore and boat anglers alike. The Indian River Lagoon stretching north and south of Sebastian holds outstanding populations of redfish, trout, and snook. The offshore waters off Sebastian feature natural reef formations, artificial structures, and deep wrecks that produce grouper, snapper, cobia, and kingfish. Longer offshore runs reach the productive waters where mahi mahi, wahoo, and tuna are targeted. Sebastian's quiet, fishing-focused community, abundant access to the lagoon, and the legendary inlet make it a favorite destination for East Coast Florida anglers. The deep sea fishing waters here — deep Gulf waters beyond the continental shelf, blue water, and offshore reefs — provide world-class angling opportunities that draw fishermen from across the country.
Deep Sea Fishing anglers in Sebastian target an impressive roster of species including Blackfin Tuna, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi. Peak season runs through June, July, but productive deep sea fishing fishing is available year-round.

Best Deep Sea Fishing Fishing Spots in Sebastian
From legendary bays to productive reefs, here are the top deep sea fishing fishing spots your captain will target in the Sebastian area.
Sebastian Offshore Ledges
Natural limestone ledges 15-30 miles offshore of Sebastian in 80-140 feet of water provide prime bottom-fishing habitat for red snapper, gag grouper, scamp grouper, and amberjack. These ledge systems run roughly north-south and create vertical relief that concentrates fish. Full-day trips from Sebastian target these productive ledges throughout the year.
The 27 Fathom Ledge
The 27 Fathom Ledge is a prominent natural bottom feature approximately 25 miles offshore of Sebastian where the ocean floor drops along a distinct ledge line. Red snapper, grouper, amberjack, and African pompano hold tight to the ledge face and undercuts. The ledge is a cornerstone of the Sebastian offshore charter fleet's bottom-fishing itinerary.
Gulf Stream (Sebastian)
The Gulf Stream flows approximately 15-25 miles offshore of Sebastian, bringing warm bluewater and pelagic species within reach of full-day trips. Sailfish, mahi-mahi, wahoo, and blackfin tuna patrol the Stream's western wall and weed lines. Sebastian's relatively close proximity to the Stream makes it a productive departure point for bluewater fishing.
Sebastian Offshore Wrecks
Multiple wrecks and artificial reef structures deployed in 80-200 feet of water offshore of Sebastian create productive deep-water fishing destinations. Amberjack, almaco jacks, barracuda, and large grouper hold on the structure year-round. The 1715 Treasure Fleet wreck sites in the area add historical intrigue to these productive fishing grounds.
