LATEST REPORTS
Nighttime Snook Action Remains Strong
This week's nighttime snook fishing was on fire! Targeting mangrove shorelines with active bait was the key to landing some impressive snook. Small 3-3.5" paddle tails, retrieved slowly, proved to be the winning combination.
High Volume Snook Action in the Middle of Winter
It has been a topsy-turvy last couple of weeks of weather that kind of feels like a roller coaster ride! One thing I wanted to commit time to this winter was being able to gain confidence in my ability to catch higher volumes, or quantity numbers of Snook throughout the bleak mid-winter.
Variety Pack Fishing: Kayak Fishing the Eau Gallie River
The reason I have been hitting the Eau Gallie River so heavily lately is because of its wind protection, deeper waters and muddy bottoms which are three key components of good winter inshore fishing.
Cold Weather, Hot Bite
This week's fishing report is sizzling, despite the chilly weather! As the full moon approaches, night fishing in the river has only gotten hotter. My target species has been snook, and I've been having success using artificial lures.
Kayak Fishing & Family Fun on The Eau Gallie River/Elbow Creek
Today I am going to talk about some family fishing that was done in the days following Christmas. My brother, his wife, and their two kids came down for Christmas, and the day after Christmas I was able to take my brother out fishing. I took him to the Eau Gallie River/Elbow Creek because of how successful I was there a few weeks ago, and I wanted him to have a good experience.
A Windy Week
The strong north winds and cooler temperatures dominated the weather pattern over the past week, keeping me off the water for the most part. However, Sunday brought a welcome respite with pleasant conditions, and I seized the opportunity to get out and fish.
Goat Creek Kayak Fishing
I had a very Merry Snookmas on my last trip before Christmas day at Goat Creek. I have to give a huge shoutout to Luke Foster, a fantastic young angler, who attends Melbourne Central Catholic, he gave me a great run down on Goat Creek one day during finals week, and I have to say all of his advice was on point as I had a dynamite day fishing back there.
Cold Front Kayak Fishing – Sam’s Creek
So the place I fished was Sam’s Creek in Northern Merritt Island. The location for the kayak/canoe launch at Pine Island is listed as 1655 Pine Island Rd, Merritt Island, FL 32953.
Finding Fish & Wind Protection on the Eau Gallie River
I hope everyone is having a great Holiday season so far. What an interesting weekend we just had, the weather warmed up, we had some humidity and cloud cover, but some very strong ENE winds rolled through. This made conditions in the IRL pretty choppy.
This Weeks Report
The fishing has been absolutely on fire lately! The sheepshead bite has been particularly hot, with several catches exceeding 20 inches. As we progress deeper into the season, I expect the action to only intensify.

Kayak Bassin’ in the Winter – Best Spots
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! We traveled to Georgia over the break to see family on both sides, we returned home on Saturday night. I was able to get out and fish yesterday. It was a new spot in my ongoing research to find the best winter inshore fishing spots.
Tis The Season – Early Winter Inshore Fishing
How about that cold snap this week eh? With frigid (ish) temperatures at night and in the morning, this can throw our fishing plans, and production for a total loop. With that said, there are a few spots over the years that have proven to be productive for me during these weird late fall, early winter days when the temps are in the 40's in the morning and warm all the way to the lower 70's by mid afternoon with high barometric pressure, and blue bird skies mixed in.Tis The Season - Early Winter Inshore Fishing
Indian River Kayak Fishing Report
The sheepshead bite has been absolutely on fire lately! Over the past week, I made a couple of successful trips targeting these convicts, using mangrove tree crabs along the mangrove lines. The results were impressive, with a high catch rate and quality fish.
Kayak Fishing: Fort Pierce Mangroves
I hope everyone is having a great Veteran's Day Weekend! We had to be in school today due to losing days because of the hurricane a few weeks back (boooo!), but on a more positive note the football team in which I am the Offensive Coordinator/QB Coach (Melbourne Central Catholic), ended our regular season Friday with an 8-2 record after a wild shootout win, 51-44 vs True North Classical in Miami.
