Capt. Jim is a professional saltwater fishing guide based out of Rockledge, Florida.
With the way the winds have been howling this last week you’d think Halloween had already come. This week will bring some calmer conditions to the Space Coast so we can get back out on the water to continue catching fish. The mullet run had kicked back into high gear early last week and the near-coastal fishing was incredible.
We hope everyone is doing well after hurricane Milton’s passing last week. Here at Fineline Fishing Charters we were without power for 4 days but our trusty generator and gas grill helped us make the best of a bad situation.
Wow! It’s amazing how the lagoon waters can change in the blink of an eye. Last week we were reporting clean water in the Indian and Banana Rivers.
The beaches are full of fish this week, but the high surf is making it a little difficult to get out there and enjoy catching them. So we are chasing fish around the lagoons this week.
The mullet run continues to be the best fishing action along the Space Coast. Captain Justin and I have had several fantastic days out on the lagoons and near-coastal waters this past week.
Our fishing in July and August has been very interesting this year. We have had some very good days and also some very slow days. This isn’t what I would consider to be the normal pattern for these two months.
Wow! What a crazy week of fishing we had in the Indian River. The aftermath of hurricane Debbie brought cold water upwelling’s to the near-coastal waters, and this pushed lots of “beach fish” into our lagoons over the past 12 days.
Captain Justin and I are sticking close to the inlets at Canaveral and Sebastian this week. Cold water upwelling’s have taken over the near-coastal waters after hurricane Debby rolled past the west coast last week
Our Summertime snook and tarpon bite is as hot as the weather. Tarpon finally showed back up in good numbers this week along the near-coastal waters around Port Canaveral.
It’s summertime and you know what that means for us here at Fineline Fishing Charters? That’s right, the snook fishing is just about as hot as the heat index on most days.
“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!
