KAYAK FISHING
LATEST REPORTS
Kayak Fishing: This, That, and The Other
We’re in April folks, but for the past week or so you wouldn’t know it if you get up out of the house before 7 am - it’s been in the 50’s the past 5 mornings in Melbourne at day break, but since the rain we got on Thursday we’ve had 3 straight days of bluebird skies and the barometric pressure has been way up.
Lake Baldwin (Orlando)
Last week I had a chance to get over to Orlando and fish another lake in the urban jungle that I have never fished before - Lake Baldwin.
St. Sebastian River – Easter Weekend
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! When I set out to fish/write the Easter weekend report I felt it was only right to fish the St. Sebastian River. Interesting fact on nomenclature, the inlet on the other side of the Indian River Lagoon is called Sebastian Inlet.
Wade Fishing in the Banana River
This week I am switching gears a little bit…DISCLAIMER no kayak was used in this report. Today I am going to talk about my most recent outing with my kids.
Kayak Fishing: Pine Island Basin & Sam’s Creek
I don’t know about you all, but I am loving this early spring trend of weather we are on! The warmer weather has brought a very hot inshore bite for me the last two weeks. Last weekend brought an increase in numbers, and this week brought even more in terms of quantity, and some quality fish in the mix as well - let’s dive in!
Inshore Kayak Fishing – High Percentage Areas
Now this week, I am doing a slight shift in focus, and instead of focusign on a particular launch spot, focusing on choosing high percentage areas to go inshore fishing.
Lake Toho: Whaley’s Landing
I fished Lake Toho on Sunday, Saturday I went on my first ever trip to Mosquito Lagoon, but today I am going to just talk Toho - but there will be Mosquito Lagoon write ups in the future! But as we enter a very exciting time on the Florida Bass Fishing Calendar (Spawning Season) - I thought this would be a good time to check out how Lake Toho is doing.
Headwaters Lake Revisited
So here’s the thing about Headwaters Lake - the fishing is great, I’ve never had a “bad” day there - even a bad Headwaters day is still pretty good. It’s a lot like Pizza, and sex - even when it’s bad, it’s still good (lol).
The Conway Chain – Little Lake Conway
This week I embarked on an adventure to fish a new chain of lakes for the first time ever, the Conway Chain in Orlando, so without further adu, let us jump right on in.
Exploring the Loxahatchee River
I took the show on the road this past weekend and explored previously unchartered waters, and it is a place I have been wanting to fish for sometime… South Florida’s beautiful Loxahatchee River! Let’s dive in!
Camp Mack on the Kissimmee River
Camp Mack is a place steeped in history and tradition, and today serves as a remote outpost surrounded by thousands of acres of great Bass fishing, and serves as a great vacation destination for those that pursue a variety of nature pursuits.
Kayak Fishing: Navigating Wacky Winter Weather in Central Florida
This week instead of talking about a "spot" to kayak fish, I am going to talk about how to navigate through, and catch fish during the wacky wintertime weather patterns that we have been getting. Let’s dive in!
Pelican Island NWR (Part II)
This week I am going to talk once again about the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge - but from a different launching point, and on the north end of this federally protected area
Kayak Fishing (in Inclement Weather) – Pelican Island NWR
What a weekend we just had weather wise, sheesh. If you are reading this and are sane, then you probably stayed indoors and safely out of the borderline tropical storm conditions that bore down on us this past weekend. But if like me, you show signs of increasing mental instability when it comes to making decisions when it comes to fishing, you may have made a run at going anyway.
Kayak Fishing: Banana River (Kelly Park – Merritt Island)
This past weekend I fished a part of the Banana River I have never fished before on the west side of Merritt Island, just south of the 528 Causeway. I have to say, for a new spot I was pleased with how it went. Let’s dive in!
