Get the latest word on the bite with Damon from Spacefish on the Mark Moses Show. We talk local fishing every Friday on the air at 4pm.

To kick off the new year we have had some really crappie weather! Perfect weather for crappie fishing, that is!

Hey there East Side Family! We had a couple of days last week to chase pompano and we were all over it despite the cold and winds. For those brave enough to fight the frost (LOL!) most were rewarded.

The bite has changed a little bit over the last couple of days. We have some pretty cool water temperatures here in the New Smyrna Beach waters especially in the shallow water of Mosquito Lagoon.

Get ready for another action packed week of fishing on Florida’s Space Coast. January marks a period of high catch rates of pompano, whiting, black drum and bluefish. Although the number one targeted species will continue to be the Florida pompano, don’t sleep on the other species available.

Good morning all you Sebastian Inlet fishing fanatics, I hope everyone had a great and safe new year’s holiday, and a great weekend! First, I would like to quell a rumor about the north jetty will be completed by February. This is false.

We only ran a couple of Shark trips this week. We just fished along the beach and our clients caught quite a variety of small sharks and one big tiger shark too, which was awesome!

Old man Winter will be coming to visit this week so bundle up everyone for the coldest temperatures so far this winter. Last week’s artificial bite was slow for me.

Today I am going to talk about some family fishing that was done in the days following Christmas. My brother, his wife, and their two kids came down for Christmas, and the day after Christmas I was able to take my brother out fishing. I took him to the Eau Gallie River/Elbow Creek because of how successful I was there a few weeks ago, and I wanted him to have a good experience.

Had a great week fishing the lagoon for trout, snook, jacks and pompano. Plenty of action most days all on artificial but a few of the snook ate live baits, as well.

The strong north winds and cooler temperatures dominated the weather pattern over the past week, keeping me off the water for the most part. However, Sunday brought a welcome respite with pleasant conditions, and I seized the opportunity to get out and fish.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we reflect on Steve Goff — local business stalwart, former FSFA Club President, beloved friend and family man, and fishing fanatic — who passed away unexpectedly on December 23, 2024.

The fishing has been great with the cold weather and low water. Redfish and black drum are schooling in the shallows and will readily eat soft plastics, shrimp tipped jigs or a naked hook with a shrimp and small split shot.

The Ocean Obsession out of Sunrise Marina in Port Canaveral did a great job putting their clients on “The Meat” the last couple of trips when the weather cooperated.

Come get the first look — and demo — of the F26 Offshore at the Stuart Boat Show — January 10-12. Falcon Boats can be found at dock site AL03.
