Spring has been pretty good but now that we are transitioning into summer, the big trout are chewing throughout the Indian River in Mosquito Lagoon.

Hopefully you guys and gals have had a chance to get out and enjoy this beautiful weather that we’ve had lately, and you’ve been able to get involved with the snook bite that continues to be surprisingly good both along the lagoons and at the inlets.

Well, it’s been another fairly decent week of fishing, but the bite has been completely different this week than last week. We had very good morning and mid morning bites in my last report but now it seems like the bite is coming around noon or later.

It’s been another pretty good week of fishing here for snook at Fineline Fishing Charters. We’re finding them all around the Port Canaveral area.

It’s been a fantastic week of fishing here at Fineline Fishing Charters. Now that the pollination has subsided spring has truly sprung.

Well gang, it’s definitely spring time. We have cold conditions one day, hot conditions the next and 360° of wind twice a week. This has the fish completely confused and almost un-pattern-able in the lagoons right now.

It’s been a week of interesting weather but the bite continues to be fairly good. Most of my fishing has been inside the lagoons for snook, trout and redfish.

The weather is the same but the bite has definitely changed from last week. The giant schools of black drum we reported last week all but disappeared this week.

It’s been a few weeks since we have had anything of substance to report, but this past week we got back out on the water and had some fantastic black drum action.

It is another chilly week catching drum, sheepshead and speckled trout for us here at Fineline Fishing Charters. The persistent north winds and cool temps have been hampering our ability to get out to fish the near coastal waters so we are doubling down on the lagoon species that are willing to play.

“If you want to!”

Red Snapper soon is just around the corner with dates soon to be announced…

Capt. Jim Ross says he catches mangrove snapper like this one with light leaders and small hooks, which will get you more bites on the mangroves than standard bottom tackle.

Beating the storm, hitting that black drum bite!

The black drum bite is still booming in the Lagoon!
