Big booms for everyone! If you haven’t checked my social media pages lately then you haven’t seen all of the giant black drum we’ve been catching lately in the Indian River and near-coastal waters outside of Port Canaveral. It’s been a drum-fest for sure.

Some of these fish (like the one pictured) have been scaling over 50 pounds. Live jumbo shrimp and cut crab are the two best baits I’ve used this week. There are some big reds and snook as well for those of you that like to catch multiple species while you’re out on the water.

This week’s cold front will probably slow the snook again, but the drum just don’t care. The reds will be affected for a day or two, then they should get right back with the program as well. After this next front eases a bit we may have the proper conditions to start finding cobia along the beaches.

We are coming into the spring season, and everything is looking good. If you want to get out on the water and chase some of these great fish give me a call or book your trip right on my website’s reservations page-www.finelinefishingcharters.com. I can’t wait to get you out there to pull on something big and wild! Let’s get hooked up for a day trip so we can go catch your next memory!!
