SPACEFISH REPORT

I had the pleasure of joining a beach tarpon charter with Capt. Glyn Austin and his guest, Tony, this last Friday. From the moment they scooped by at the inlet, the experience was equally as beautiful as it was exhilarating.

Summer is here! For my wife, our kids, and I that means time off from school – and even though it’s 10,000 degrees in the shade hot, it gives us a chance to go do more fun things than we would normally do during the school year. This past weekend that involved a family camping weekend at Manatee Hammock in Titusville, and I took advantage to go and fish Mosquito Lagoon.

This week’s focus shifts away from the usual snook bite and lands squarely on one of the most consistent and exciting inshore targets right now: the Spotted Seatrout. Across multiple trips this week, both early […]

Well gang, it’s finally happening…. The tarpon are showing up along the beaches in good numbers. I am really happy that they have arrived and that there are plenty of baitfish to hold their attention, so that they don’t blow right through the Space Coast for points northward.

Good morning all you Sebastian Inlet anglers and outdoor beach goers, I hope you all had a great weekend! This report unfortunately is going to be another disappointing one as the water conditions and lack of our “summertime” baitfish have kept things on the slow side most of last week, and through the weekend, plus the fact that the water temp has dropped back down to 81 degrees as of this report, where it should be in the mid 80s for this time of year.

The Stick Marsh fished slower for us during this week’s outing. The first light bite is still the best as the morning continues on.

Inshore fishing was a little slow this week but we caught a few decent snook, some nice trout and some jacks and bluefish.

With the calm summer days starting to stack up, we have taken advantage and put our clients on some great fish.

It’s that time of year where the shrimp boats tend to stack up along the beach and with them come some pretty incredible tarpon fishing as well as shark fishing.

I previously declared the “end” of the spring pompano migration — and I was wrong…

Water temperatures started around 84° this morning.cThe topwater bite has been excellent early, with the first two hours producing some quality fish.

The PENN WRATH II was mainly engineered for saltwater, but personally i find that it is extremely versatile in both freshwater and saltwater. I bought this rod at walmart for 78 $, pretty good price […]

The first full week of June sets the tone for the summer. Tarpon will continue building along the beaches and in the river system — with snook now on catch-and-release only, silver kings become the […]

The New Smyrna Beach waters have been very active this past week with some great fishing. The weather has been good and making for some great catching of several species like snook, redfish, trout and black drum.

Imagine this… you walk into any large scale tackle store in Florida and you’ll find hundreds of bass lures staring back at you. You will worms galore, and swimbaits, and Frogs. But it doesn’t stop there; creatures & craws, lizards, jigs, jerk baits, crank baits, and soft plastics in enough colors to make the paint selection aisle at Home Depot jealous.
