Our fishing in July and August has been very interesting this year. We have had some very good days and also some very slow days. This isn’t what I would consider to be the normal pattern for these two months. For some reason this year we have had unusually high ocean water temperatures along the Space Coast which has pushed much of our summertime baitfish out of the area. In fact, it seems that most of our usual baitfish schools are spending the summer up along the coast of Georgia and south Carolina according to some of my contacts in those areas.
Because of this lack of bait and predators along the near-coastal waters, captain Justin and I are targeting fish in our lagoons. We have had many families with young children out for a fun morning before they returned to school for the fall. They’ve experienced some ‘ve really good action in these waters, especially over the last week after Hurricane Deby passed by the west coast of Florida. Redfish, tripletail, speckled trout, mangrove snapper, and snook are all in play right now as we fish these protected waters in the Indian and Banana River lagoons.
Snook season opens September 1st! The inlet snook action remains good through the summer months. The snook season opens in two weeks and we should continue to have great action on this species. Plus, the fall mullet run will start right around the first two weeks of September, so now is the time to get yourself locked in to a day or two to go out and experience this amazing phenomenon. Book directly on our website at (put link to reservation page here) Or give Captain Justin or myself a call at 321-505-8217 to get included in this years fall time fishing action.
