Playing with Blacktips
Early in the week we had some pretty good weather that allowed us to get off the beach and chase the tarpon and play with some Blacktip sharks. =

I’m Capt. Glyn Austin, the owner and operator of Going Coastal Fishing Charters. I’m a central Florida native who was born and raised in the Melbourne and Palm Bay area. It’s here where my love for fishing was nurtured. Now, that passion is now my full time job.

Had a great week of fishing inshore and off the beach. The warm temps have increased the water temperature to the low-mid 70s and the snook and trout became more active.
The water temps increased 17 degrees in one week which improved the bite inside the lagoon. Water temps increased to 67 degrees this weekend. School trout, plenty of jacks and bluefish on artificial as well as few snook for opening weekend of snook season.
Coldest water temps we’ve seen since 2010 at 50 degrees. Haven’t seen any fish kills thank goodness but temps got dangerously close. The bite went cold too.
The cold weather and higher winds have slowed down the inshore bite for snook, trout and redfish. However, the sheephead, mangrove snapper and pompano have been pretty active in the river and along the beaches.
Decent week of inshore fishing despite the colder weather. Plenty of trout still along with some snook, jacks and pompano.
Had a great week fishing the lagoon for trout, snook, jacks and pompano. Plenty of action most days all on artificial but a few of the snook ate live baits, as well.
Had a great holiday week fishing the lagoon. We caught plenty of trout, snook, pompano, bluefish and jacks on artificials. The spoil islands have been very consistent as well as the inlet and flats around the inlet.
We’ve had good action in the lagoon. Plenty of trout and a decent snook bite even though they are smaller fish. There are some redfish and black drum being caught in the inlet, shrimp and croakers have been the best baits. The flounder bite has been decent, as well.
Winter is in full swing as cold fronts have been colder than the last few years for late November/December. Water temps are in the mid to low 60s pretty steady which makes the snook fishing […]
Easter Bunny brought Noah some Mangrove Snapper!

Capt. Jesse Austin is not saving any for the rest of us this year, apparently!
