Trip Description: Spend a relaxing day floating along the Indian River as we cast lines, enjoy the sunshine and take in the laid-back coastal atmosphere. Outdoor Adventure (OA) trip leaders will introduce basic fishing techniques and share their favorite spots, all while the river provides the perfect backdrop for an easygoing day outdoors. A Florida fishing license is included with this trip, so anyone can join in — whether you're a seasoned angler or trying fishing for the very first time. This day is all about slowing down, enjoying the water and seeing what bites.
