SPACEFISH REPORT

Another on the water report today from stick marsh. I pulled into the parking lot. The moon was setting. The sun was coming up the bites much slower for my first hour.

I was on the water just about every morning this week, along with one nighttime trip, and the fishing continued to be very productive.

The surf has been a little up and down this week. Well, not so much up, but it’s definitely ranged from “meh” to “mehhhh.”

The fishing has been good offshore. Slow trolling both Pelican and 8A reefs we are catching kingfish with some dolphin mixed in.

Great summertime fishing on the beach with light west winds and calm seas. There has been plenty of bait on the beach, however the water temps have been cold. Despite the cold water, the tarpon have been around in decent numbers.

Good morning Sebastian Inlet fans, hope you all enjoyed your HOT weekend! The fishing again wasn’t hot, but the weather was. Lol. I’d like to start off with a few announcements and reminders.

The trout fishing in the Mosquito Lagoon has really turned on this week with lots of trout being caught using pigfish and croakers as well as some top water first thing in the morning.

The bite from Daytona Beach south to Mosquito Lagoon has been firing on all cylinders this past week. We have had multiple days with slams along with some double digit days.

This week belonged to the tarpon. Massive schools of 70–120 lb silver kings lined the beaches from Sebastian Inlet north through Melbourne, with multiple charters reporting the best early-season action in years. Meanwhile the offshore […]

Finally into our summer patterns for more than a couple days. Calm seas and afternoon thunderstorms with some bait on the beach and gamefish close behind.

Every angler who spends enough time on the Mosquito Lagoon eventually runs into the same problem. You’re cruising a shallow flat when a redfish pushes a wake through a patch of turtle grass. Maybe a trout explodes on bait in the middle of a grassy bottom area. You make a cast, your lure lands perfectly, and then…Grass. You retrieve your lure and come back with enough salad to feed a family of four.

A slower mixed bag week on the Indian River Lagoon with a lot of experimenting mixed into the usual inshore pattern. Some time was spent off the normal routine targeting triple tail around channel markers and searching deeper water with the fish finder, but most of that bite stayed quiet.

We finally had a great week of fishing thanks to the weeds moving out! Lots of summertime fish are cruising the beaches, including big whiting, black drum, snook, and tarpon. It has definitely been hot, that’s for sure!

The Ocean Obsession out of Sunrise Marina at Port Canaveral has had their customers on the MEAT! Mangrove snapper, lane snapper, grouper, triggerfish and cobia are just some of the species they have caught lately.

Sometimes you plan a spot that really works to your advantage. Right now, whether it’s a jerk bait, suspending jerk bait, or lipless crank bait, if you find the school, the fish are on fire. It’s a catch on every cast and that’s what’s going on right now at the Stick Marsh.
