SPACEFISH REPORT

You don’t have to be rich to achieve your dream of reeling in that waterfront home you’ve always wanted. You just need a captain that knows where to fish.

Breaking down what’s happening in fishing for the weekend ahead on the Mark Moses Show!

The lack of rain and shifting winds from the south has brought a little dirty water into the north end of Mosquito Lagoon and the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach.

There has been a decent whiting bite this week. Fishbytes are outfishing fleas, with most fish caught in the first trough. Sand fleas are abundant this year. Wait until you get a little wind in the afternoon but well before the storms.

An overview of three rod/reel combos that are affordable AND effective at catching the fish you’re trying to target.

Water conditions continue to be the biggest issue, and the SSE winds have been churning up and clouding the water. Sargassum weed remains a big problem, especially on the south side, and water temperatures have dropped back down to 75 as of this writing.

Great week of inshore fishing again as the spring bait has finally showed in the last week or two. Big snook have been the main target but we’ve got a few nice trout, several short and under slot snook, and triple tail as well.

Hopefully you guys and gals have had a chance to get out and enjoy this beautiful weather that we’ve had lately, and you’ve been able to get involved with the snook bite that continues to be surprisingly good both along the lagoons and at the inlets.

The hot bite continues with snook and redfish leading the charge. While things haven’t changed much over the past week, the onset of rainy season will likely bring shifts in fishing patterns soon.

The fishing was great but windy for this past weeks outings. Monday on the Stick Marsh finally produced a topwater bite in an area where the Shad are congregating for the spawn.

The 74-mile-long Ocklawaha River is a central Florida treasure. It starts at George Kirkpatrick Dam (formerly called Rodman Dam) and eventually ends at the St Johns River. The central portion of the Ocklawaha forms the western and northern boundaries of the Ocala National Forest.

This week’s catch is a gem: a beautifully updated 3 bed 2 bath 2,055 sq ft home located in Surfside Estates in Merritt Island. Launch your boat from your newly refinished dock and cruise directly to the Banana River where you can fish the scenic Thousand Islands for redfish, snook and trout.

The water temp was 78 degrees when we started this morning. April was incredible for my clients and May has started off just as good.

I believe summer is definitely upon us here in Central Florida as the days get earlier and last longer. The weather has definitely started to warm and with the warmer weather comes warmer water temperatures throughout New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon.
