I hope everyone is having a great Veteran’s Day Weekend! We had to be in school today due to losing days because of the hurricane a few weeks back (boooo!), but on a more positive note the football team in which I am the Offensive Coordinator/QB Coach (Melbourne Central Catholic), ended our regular season Friday with an 8-2 record after a wild shootout win, 51-44 vs True North Classical in Miami.

Today I am going to do something different, instead of a traditional “fishing report” I am going to report on the recent Kayak Fishing Seminar led by Tournament Champion & YouTube sensation Chris Mitchell, as well as go over the store, and inventory of Kayaks By Bo’s new downtown Cocoa location.

I do not have a fishing report this week; I had a crazy weekend – The Melbourne Central Catholic Hustlers won a wild shootout Friday, 51-42 against Orlando Christian Prep, so I got home late Friday, and my wife and I spent most of our free time this weekend volunteering as Pumpkin Peddlers at Saint Joseph Catholic Church in Palm Bay – which I will say, to those in need of a Pumpkin, go check out the Pumpkin Patch at St. Joe’s!

Today I will be making a short report on a recent trip back into the sweetwater. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done some Bass fishing, and I was not able to make it a full day trip, but it sufficed to knock the rust off at least.

I hope everyone is doing well on this 7th day of October in the year 2024. We have a big storm bearing down on us, and the weather yesterday was unpleasant to say the least; I had to chaperone our MCC homecoming dance Saturday, and with the weather bing cruddy I was not able to get out this weekend, but I was able to squeeze in a brief solo trip last Sunday.

I hope all is well as we march on through the year; this week will usher in the month of October, the days are getting shorter, and the weather is gradually cooling off. This is the period of the year where fishing can get exciting, and is also a great time for family fishing outings; so today my report is going to be about a father, son kayak fishing trip.

Today I am going to talk about a new spot; and it was one of the one’s I mentioned last week on my report about top places to go kayak fishing in Central Florida. This report is about one of those spots listed in Vero Beach. Let’s dive in!

Anglers of all types get excited for fall fishing along the East Central Florida region. I thought this would be a good time to write a compilation piece of my personal favorite kayak fishing spots in our area of the state. I am going to break the list down by species, and list 3 places for the 5 major sport fish targetted by kayak anglers.

Today I hope everyone has enjoyed their Labor Day weekend! The weekend started on a high note for me, as my football team, the Melbourne Central Catholic Hustlers went up to Ocala and beat the team that knocked us out of the Regional Finals last year, Trinity Catholic, 38-6.

One of the Bass I caught from the cove on the NW corner of Poinsett near the SJR Channel.

Hopefully this will be the first of many kayak Bass trips we get to take together. And yes, I did give her a hard time for the using the grippers on a small Bass.

There are a ton of Lily Pads on Lake Osceola, the Frog bite was really good when we were there this past weekend.

A trip south to Lake Ida is not just about Peacock's, it's a great place to catch Largemouth too!

I went back to Fox Lake Saturday, here are 3 of the species I caught Saturday afternoon.

The Bass fishing on the freshwater side took the cake, but this was my most exciting inshore catch on the Eau Gallie River this weekend. I have not caught very many of these guys in […]

While this is certainly not anything to brag about in the size category, I thought this fish was really cool looking in how dark it was. I know that Largemouth Bass are known as Black […]

My boys and I had a blast last night at Wickham Park. We caught 4 StumpKnockers in roughly an hour of fishing. Each one we landed brought tons of joy and excitement.

I caught this on my last inshore trip on the 4th. It was in the shallows off the mangroves close to the radio tower in Downtown Melbourne.

I caught this on my last inshore trip back on the 4th. The warmer weather led to a much better bite.
