The Ocean Obsession out of Sunrise Marina at Port Canaveral has put its customers on some great fish on recent trips. From grouper and snapper to kingfish and amberjack, there has been some serious rod bending action. If you want to get offshore and get in on this action, book your trip now with this awesome captain and crew.

What a solid week of fishing. With summer approaching, we are hoping for more consistent days to get offshore. This past week didn’t disappoint. Mahi and black-fin tuna were caught in a little deeper water between 250-300 feet. It’s grouper season, we caught grouper in 200 feet using big live bait.

Kingfish were very consistent on the reef. Before running offshore, we didn’t have any problems with cast-netting bunker. The bite area was the most consistent for catching live bait.

Capt. Joe with Fired Up Charters put on Kingfish clinic this weekend. Live bait can be caught in the bite before running offshore. Pelican and 8A have been producing well. They’re still some smaller dolphin being caught fishing these depths as well.

What to expect out of Port Canaveral to close out April and kick off the month of May.

We never made it offshore last week so all we’ve been doing is shark fishing. The winds haven’t been that favorable and honestly offshore is not that great right now so we just been making the best of it along the beach and the shark fishing has been insane. There are a number of other species roaming our beaches right now like Spanish mackerel, bonita, jacks and we are even starting to see some tarpon. The sharks are not picky, any big piece of cut bait will get them to bite but if you can get a bonita, that seems to be their favorite.

The Ocean Obsession fishing out of Sunrise Marina at Port Canaveral showed out with a full board of all kinds of different fish. Lane, mangrove, mutton and red snapper were all caught. Even though you can’t keep the reds, they are still a blast to catch. Other species that made for some great table fare for their customers were triggerfish, grunts, kingfish and a dolphin. You just never know who’s coming to dinner. Keep an eye out for their next trip and take advantage of getting offshore with the awesome captain and crew.

We are going to start providing a quick video fishing report that will touch on fishing for our customers and fishing for the locals with their own boats. At the beginning of each month it will be a broad “what to expect” and as water, weather, temperature, clarity, sea conditions, bait, etc. change, we will keep you updated through each month as needed.

With the consistently strong winds last week it pretty much had us focusing on shark trips near shore and boy oh boy it didn’t disappoint. Capt. Joe put on a clinic putting our customers on some big old toothy critters. If you have never locked horns with a big shark, this is a great time to do it. They are here and willing to play!

Give us a call to book one of these awesome shark trips.

With the increased winds this past week preventing us from consistently getting offshore we switched gears for our customers and did a pile of shark trips. They were all very successful and our clients had a blast playing tug-o-war with some of these beasts!

We did get offshore one day but it was not good or worth even talking about. No kingfish around yet, just a bunch of smaller bottom fish. I would recommend staying nearshore and catching some of these bigger fish. They are a lot of fun!

Nearshore shark fishing has been on fire! It’s been nonstop action for our customers wanting to lock horns with these toothy critters. Offshore, the kingfish are gone right now but we are starting to see a couple of mahi trickle in. There definitely seems to be more cobia in the last week and we have seen some rays out deep. Chicken rigging has been on fire for Captain Joe with lots of lane snapper and some triggerfish being caught. Always be prepared with a pitch rod while targeting these bottom fish.

The Ocean Obsession out of Sunrise Marina at Port Canaveral is at it again putting their customers on a smorgasbord of tasty fish! Lane snapper, mangrove snapper, triggerfish and cobia have all made it over the rail and into the pail this past week. If you’ve been wanting to get offshore, book your next trip with this awesome captain and crew.
