This week, I continued to focus on dock and flat fishing for redfish, similar to last week's strategy. However, today (Monday, July 8th) brought a exciting change of pace. I decided to explore the mangroves and was thrilled to find abundant activity.
Hole in the Wall Island
I launched from the 69th Street Kayak Launch in Vero Beach, this spot is located just south of the Wabasso Causeway. Even though it is a little bit of a drive south from where I live in Melbourne, I have enjoyed great fishing success in the areas between Sebastian and Vero, the borderlands between the Space & Treasure Coasts have really clean water, a healthy and thriving population of Snook, and more Seagrass and Oyster beds than you will encounter fishing between Titusville, and Palm Bay.
Let’s Get Weird
For this trip report, I launched from the Eau Gallie Boat Ramp- once I launched, I went under the eastern causeway bridge (the short one), and then went north along the eastern shoreline until I got adjacent to Dragon Point, then I went over and fished around the point, then I went south again, and spent a few hours fishing the docks and shoreline, before calling it a day.

On Friday morning, my brother and I loaded up our kayaks and went to George L. Smith State Park, which is located about 35 miles north of where he lives.

Kayak Fishing – Wabasso Causeway/Marsh Island
So today I am going to talk about my last two trips; they were both quicker, shorter outings, so I am going to combine them into one report.
