Welcome

Shallow Water Adventures offers inshore saltwater light tackle and fly fishing, catch and release, charters on the Indian River Lagoon system. Leave all your distractions behind and join me, Captain Charles Imwalle, on a Shallow Water Adventure in the clean, clear waters of the Indian River Lagoon system of Central Florida's east coast. This includes the interconnected estuaries of the Banana River, Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon, which encompasses the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.


Its abundance of wildlife and game fish are far reaching. Redfish, Black Drum, Spotted Sea Trout, Jack Crevalle, Snook and Tarpon all lurk in these world renowned waters but the area is most famous for the opportunity to sight fish for giant sized Redfish. These monster Redfish are the reason Titusville is known as, "The Redfish Capital of the World."
Sight fishing for Redfish and Spotted Sea Trout here is a year round adventure. Wintertime fishing provides larger schools of concentrated Redfish and Black Drum in deep sloughs, and Gator Trout lurking in sandy potholes. Springtime fishing for Redfish offers clear waters, cool temperatures, and large schools of Redfish gathering on pristine grass flats. Summer time fishing starts early with tailing Redfish in skinny water and schools of Trout, Ladyfish, Jack Crevalle and an occasional Tarpon found feeding on mullet and glass minnows. As the water temperature increases, the return of the Snook to the Indian River is in full swing. All this is leading up to the fall feeding frenzy as larger Redfish prepare for the spawn. Unlike anywhere in the world this unusual behavior of inshore spawning takes place here in the Indian River Lagoon system as a result of high salinity levels coupled with long travel routes and limited access to offshore waters. So whether you prefer fly-fishing or spin tackle, an opportunity to sight cast for one of these amazing creations can be yours. Please take a moment and enjoy your visit through my web site and feel free to call or email me, Captain Charles Imwalle, with any questions.
