The Strong Bite Continues
The bite has been pretty consistent in areas around structure with bait present. You will have the opportunity to catch redfish, snook, trout, jacks and ladyfish. I pulled this massive snook out from the mangroves […]

Topwater Action Still Hot
We should have decent weather this week as far as the wind goes. Not many clouds but we do have a nearly full moon this weekend which can certainly make things interesting.
Topwater Action
The topwater bite has been amazing lately! I’ve been having great success throwing Heddon Super Spook Jr’s (a 3.5″ topwater which I rigged with single inline hooks) around structure with plenty of bait present.
Fishing The Full Moon
Late winter/spring is an ideal period for night fishing on the Space Coast. Night tactics mirror daytime strategies. Noise-producing lures like topwater or vibration-emitting paddle tails are my go-to choices.
Things Are Warming Up!
This warmer weather we’ve been having has sure woken the river up! The mornings have been very productive along the mangroves. Target zones where fish are visibly chasing prey. Small paddle tails on lightweight jigs continue to be effective.
Night Bite
The late afternoon/evening bite has been best lately. I’ve been having success on the shallow flats around mangroves, especially in water holding baitfish.
Wind Protected Areas
Fishing has been on the slow side with the less than ideal weather we’ve been having, but I was still able to get out there and land a few nice ones! The ticket on these colder days has been to fish shallow water (under 3′) in wind protected areas.
Full Moon
With the combination of the warm weather and the full moon this week, I decided to go night fishing. I went out both Thursday and Friday evenings. I had success in areas around the mangroves where I was able to hear bait activity. Paddle tails in the 3.5 to 5″ range, rigged on 1/8 and 1/16 oz jigs got the job done!
Soft Muddy Bottoms
The snook bite was pretty consistent this week! I’ve been having success on small 3.5″ paddle tails rigged on 1/8oz jigs. Your best bet for finding larger snook this time of year is going to […]
Kayak Fishing
The cold weather bite has been pretty hot lately! I’ve been having success late mornings throwing small paddle tails in wind protected areas. I landed this 40″ snook after skip casting my lure up into a mangrove pocket right next to a small point. A slow to medium speed retrieve was the ticket.
