SPACEFISH REPORT

The mullet run has officially begun, water temperatures are comfortable, and the fishing has been pretty productive lately.

This week, I want to simplify one of the most important, and probably least exciting, pieces of fishing equipment we use; and that is the braided fishing line.

The spillways are flowing on the Stick Marsh again this past week. This time we weren’t the only ones fishing it. Two other boats beat us there so boat positioning in the small area wasn’t the best for us.

We are finding pogies in the bite early. It’s been tough to get them but they are there. We have been catching them more up towards the tip.

The bite has been good on Headwaters Lake, with water temperatures around 83° today.

Hello there all my Sebastian Inlet fans and fanatics, I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend out there! Was very nice with the breezes coming from the NE, not quite so “sweltering” as it has been. Good news, after our couple days of big winds from the NNE, and surf up to 5-6 feet, it has calmed right back down, and for the most part the water on the north side has remained PRETTY CLEAN, and still at seasonable temps, maybe just a tad higher at 83 degrees as of this writing.

The north winds and tropical system we had this week has got the mullet moving. As of mid week last week are finally starting to see larger schools of bigger mullet loaded with sharks and tarpon.

Well, we had a really good week with lots of big trout being caught as well as some really nice redfish. Tarpon are cruising in large groups through the ICW and we’re starting to see larger schools of mullet pushing through the river systems.

On account of weather, and then being pretty busy at times, I didn’t get to do much fishing this week, unfortunately. I did get out to scout the beach a little and was able to confirm that there’s still loads of bait and mullet run-related activity has bounced back after a lull due to the rough weather we encountered last week. It is STILL happening out there.

There are places in Florida where you can catch a redfish; there are places where you can watch a rocket launch. But…There aren’t many places where you can be sitting in a kayak, casting to a tailing redfish in a foot of water while one of the most technologically advanced machines ever built by human beings is sitting on a launch pad somewhere beyond the mangroves. That’s fishing the northern reaches of Florida’s Space Coast.

GOOD morning all you Sebastian Inlet fans and fanatics, hope you all enjoyed the great weekend we had! Good news, again! The fishing at the inlet has been pretty good, and over the weekend has gotten even better with all sorts of fish being caught.

This week’s report is basically a continuation of last week’s report. Lots of fingerling mullet are working down the beach and the jack, ladyfish, bluefish, snook and flounder have been feeding on them.

After a long break from fishing due to our complete renovation of our master bathroom I was able to wet a line this past week.

Good week of nearshore fishing. Finally seeing some mullet schools late this week (after showing Capt Crush it was quiet for 20 miles earlier in the week except for one school of finger mullet that didn’t have any predators thrashing them) along the beaches and they should start pushing down from up north as soon as we get some north winds or tropical storms.

The snook bite is still going strong along the beaches, and with more and more mullet showing up in both the rivers and along the beach, the bite should only continue to get better! We’re definitely starting to see more signs of the mullet run picking up, so now is a great time to get out there and fish.
