SPACEFISH REPORT

Not much has changed since last week. We are still fishing the reefs, both 8A and Pelican with good catches of kingfish with a few mahi mixed in.

Hey everybody, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve submitted a report here on Spacefish. I’ve actually spent the last month down in Islamorada running charters down there with some of my regular customers. I do this each year for a little change of pace for the guys and gals that come out with me on a monthly basis to give them a little more variety in their fishing with me.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been on a serious bass kick, and I kept that streak going with a trip to Lake Underhill—the first time I’ve fished it in two years. Now, Underhill isn’t one of my favorite lakes aesthetically…

I squeezed in one day of fishing last week. Surprising to see water temperatures drop to the low 80’s but that won’t last long.

Hey there everyone! It’s safe to say summer is here! The easterly breezes bring that clear water and the westerly off shore winds keep it nice and groomed most days.

Summer has finally set in here on the Space Coast and the tarpon migration is definitely starting to heat up! Anglers can find these trophy fish all the way up and down the coast, inshore, along the beach, in ditches along salt marshes, saltwater ponds, the possibilities of where to catch these fish.

The inshore bite has been good as long as you get started before the sun comes up. Water is in the mid 80s early morning and hotter as the sun comes up. There are some snook, redfish and big jacks around the bait schools.

Hello, Sebastian Inlet fans and friends; I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, even though it was scorchingly hot! Unfortunately, this week’s report is dismal once again.

The tournament on Saturday was a HUGE success! A big congrats to the winners, and thanks to all the sponsors, participants and hard-working volunteers that helped make it happen!

I’ve lived in the Melbourne area for nearly 30 years, and I’ve lived almost everywhere here — Downtown, Melbourne Beach, Indialantic, Eau Gallie, etc., — not Palm Bay, though, and I never will. It’s always been gross, and somehow it manages to just keeps getting grosser. I don’t even like stepping foot in Palm Bay — let alone smelling the city’s collective poo pile — and now I gotta somehow figure out how to enjoy recreating in it. I just… can’t.

The weather here in New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach and South into Mosquito Lagoon has heated up but so has the fishing. There has been some scorchers this past week but that bite continues to only get stronger.

At their late-May meeting, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), in coordination with NOAA Fisheries, considered a proposal to impose a seasonal closure on all recreational bottom fishing in Atlantic state waters (from St. Johns County northward).

Got out on Fish Lake Saturday for a few hours and put 4 in the boat. Couldn’t get into the second cove because of floating mats of weeds, pads and hydrilla.

The water temp was 82 degrees when we started this morning. May was incredible again this year and went out with a bang when my client caught an 8lb 8oz Hawg.
