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 good week fishing inshore and off the beach. Plenty of trout, some pompano and a few snook on the menu. Artificial bite has been strong but the snook are definitely keying in on live bait along the mangroves.
Fished inshore as the ocean has been rough with all of the wind. Lot or Trout, ladyfish and Jacks with some Snook mixed in and a redfish here and there along the islands and mangroves.
Another extremely windy and rainy week but there were places to hide out of the wind. Beach action was non existent with the heavy winds and weather.
While the beginning of the week was windy and rough, the weather turned mid week and got beautiful on the lagoon and nearshore.
Winds stayed strong all week making fishing the beach impossible. The river stayed calm in most coves and there were plenty of places to get out of the wind.
Water temps have gone up a bit this week with warmer weather but the bait is still around and the bite has been decent early with the full moon. High winds haven’t helped the bite but there are plenty of areas to hide out of the wind as long as its out of the east or west.
Last week’s cold front was a blessing for the Indian River Lagoon. Cooler temps helped clean up the water and bring water temps down to the low 70s.
Fished inshore this week again and the water is still very dirty. However there is plenty of bait up in the coves and along teh shorelines with Snook, Redfish, trout, jacks and ladyfish feeding on the bait pods.
Despite the heavy rains and the freshwater in the lagoon, bite has improved quite a bit due to the amount of bait and cooler water temps.
Another week of inshore fishing with plenty of bait and fish around. Slot sized reds and snook were decent with some juvenile tarpon along the shorelines around the bait pods.
Easter Bunny brought Noah some Mangrove Snapper!
Steve with a over slot snook this week!
Noah with a Jack which is one of his favorites cause they are feisty as he says!
Capt. Jesse Austin is not saving any for the rest of us this year, apparently!
Capt. Jesse Austin swears by Native Salt Clams “Salty Tongue” baits when it comes to catching red snapper.
Capt. Jesse Austin of Going Coastal Charters crushed the red snapper during the first weekend of the 2018 Red Snapper Season.
This huge snook was caught with Capt. Glyn Austin out of Sebastian Inlet.
