Southern Brevard Kayak Fishing Report
December 23, 2025

This week’s focus has been the mangroves, targeting snook on mostly artificial presentations. The bite has been somewhat slow overall, but the opportunities have definitely been there, especially for anglers willing to put in the […]

Stable Forecast Ahead
December 22, 2025

The Mosquito Lagoon fishing has not disappointed this past week with some great bites on several species. The weather has been a little weird with wind and cold then back to warm but the fish have adjusted well.

December 22, 2025

Merry Christmas! Today I am going to dive into the world of tackle talk, and make the case for why baitcasters belong in the inshore anglers arsenal.

Excellent Winter Week
December 22, 2025

We experienced another excellent winter week with calm winds, smooth seas, and temperatures holding around the 80s. Inshore fishing has been productive, with snook, trout, and pompano responding well to both live bait and artificial lures, while redfish action has been more inconsistent.

“The Spawn”
December 22, 2025

Fishing on your favorite pond for the next 3 months means one thing, The Spawn. Bass anglers relate to it as their Mullet Run so to speak. What is really great is we get to fish all three phases at the same time, pre-spawn and post spawn.

Weird Weather
December 17, 2025

The New Smyrna Beach fishing has been good this past week even with the weird weather the last few days. The fish are definitely starting to set into their winter time patterns with the trout finding the sand holes shallow in the Mosquito Lagoon and deeper ledges further north throughout Edgewater and New Smyrna Beach.

Kayaking & Wade Fishing Sykes Creek
December 16, 2025

I feel like lately I have neglected the areas north of Melbourne when it comes to inshore fishing reports. This past weekend, my oldest son had a soccer game against St. Mary, which is located in Rockledge. After a truly awesome Christmas season matchup between the Kindergarten squads from St. Joseph & St. Mary (Can we call it the “nativity bowl”?) I decided to hit an area of Merritt Island I had not been to in a while, Sykes Creek.

Good for Cold Water Species
December 16, 2025

Good morning, Sebastian Inlet fishing/sightseeing fans! I trust everyone had a great weekend. You couldn’t ask for any better weather that we had! The only bad thing about it is that the fish took a vacation.

Seeing More Flounder
December 15, 2025

Inshore fishing is still pretty good. Been finding more flounder this winter on the flats than the last few years combined. Clean water, bait and the sea grass coming back is most likely the reason we are seeing more flounder.

Productive King and Bottom Fishing
December 15, 2025

Captains Joe and Dylan from Fired Up Charters have continued to keep their clients on some quality fish. King fishing has been very productive but so has been targeting the bottom. They are catching lane snapper, triggerfish and cobia in good numbers which makes for some fun catching and great eating!
