So this week, I am really excited to talk about what might be my favorite way to kayak fish here on the Space Coast – “Creek Fishing”. I am talking about the Eau Gallie River & Elbow Creek, St. Sebastian River, Crane Creek, Turkey Creek, Goat Creek, Horse Creek (lot’s of generic animal creeks).
Saturday evening I was on the Eau Gallie River, the Elbow Creek stretch, and there were hundreds of White Ibises perched in the mangroves. I thought that was cool, it was beautiful and kind of ominous at the same time. The Ibis is synomous with hurricanes, that's why Miami's mascot is Sebastian the Ibis.
We started back to school (pre-planning)l this week as teachers so getting back into the routine I was more limited in my fishing, since I was limited I decided to stick close to home and fish the Eau Gallie River, since I live 3 miles from Ballard Park. I consider the Eau Gallie River to be my "home waters" since it's the closest bigger body of water to my house, which we moved into in January.
If you are reading this and you like mixing it up here on the Space Coast between freshwater fishing and inshore stuff, this is for you! I put in a combined 20 hours of kayak fishing using only "freshwater" designed baits.
