SPACEFISH REPORT

There’s an old folk tale about two dragons… One dragon is restless and bitter. It breathes smoke into every missed hookset, every blown cast, every slow morning. It whispers that the fish just aren’t biting, that your lure is wrong, that somebody else always has the secret bait you’re missing.

This week brought a mix of productive early mornings and solid evening trips, and both timeframes definitely had their moments. There’s been plenty of activity across the lagoon lately, with large amounts of bait showing up along mangroves, flats, spoil islands, and docks. Large schools of pogies have also been moving through deeper water and getting pushed to the surface at times.

With our east central Florida snook “season” closed as of the 1st anglers can no longer keep one legal sized fish to take home. Some anglers really don’t care about this, they just want to play with something.

The bottom bite out of Port Canaveral was really good this last time out. Capt. Joe put his customers on some solid fish.

We have started to get a little rain here in the New Smyrna Beach area which has definitely helped our drought conditions.

The Stick Marsh bite this past week was tough fishing. The winds played havoc on where you had to fish and also put the bass in a FUNKY mood.

Good morning all my Sebastian Inlet fans and friends, I hope everyone enjoyed the great weekend, weather was awesome, but not so much the fishing. This report is going to be another one I don’t like doing, but I tell it like I see it, no “fluff” to trick you into going.

Windy week last week with some good fishing most of the week. Caught some big trout and snook along with some jacks and a few bluefish on artificial.

The live bait bite has been really solid the first few hours each morning, and the big girls are holding in areas with the thickest overhead cover that’s left.

Hope everyone has a safe Memorial Day. The fishing in the lagoon for sea trout has really turned on using live pigfish or popping corks with shrimp imitations under them or live shrimp.

The waters in the northern lagoon system have been filled with life this past week. From the Halifax River south through Mosquito Lagoon, the life has been very vibrant with shrimp, finger mullet and all the predators chasing them.

Florida bass fishing has its own kingdoms… From hydrilla jungles to fields of kissimmee grass, spring runs to tannic rivers & creeks, neighborhood retention ponds, vast lakes and sprawling marsh systems. A wide array of waters host the pursuit of the same legendary green fish, America’s most sought after sport fish.

“What color lure should I use?” That is a simple question that doesn’t have a simple answer…

We had another good week of fishing offshore. The kingfish bite was very consistent on the reefs. The bottom bite was just as good. We caught some big AJ’s, red snapper and triggerfish. Our snapper season kicks off this week so book your trip now if you want to get out and catch some!

The Ocean Obsession has been consistently putting their customers on the fish running out offshore out of Port Canaveral. v
