This past weekend the temperatures were hot, and so was the Largemouth Bass bite at Fox Lake! This is a fishery that I have always enjoyed coming to, and one that I think gets overlooked here on Florida’s Spacecoast…

We’re in April folks, but for the past week or so you wouldn’t know it if you get up out of the house before 7 am – it’s been in the 50’s the past 5 mornings in Melbourne at day break, but since the rain we got on Thursday we’ve had 3 straight days of bluebird skies and the barometric pressure has been way up.

Last week I had a chance to get over to Orlando and fish another lake in the urban jungle that I have never fished before – Lake Baldwin.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! When I set out to fish/write the Easter weekend report I felt it was only right to fish the St. Sebastian River. Interesting fact on nomenclature, the inlet on the other side of the Indian River Lagoon is called Sebastian Inlet.

This week I am switching gears a little bit…DISCLAIMER no kayak was used in this report. Today I am going to talk about my most recent outing with my kids.

I don’t know about you all, but I am loving this early spring trend of weather we are on! The warmer weather has brought a very hot inshore bite for me the last two weeks. Last weekend brought an increase in numbers, and this week brought even more in terms of quantity, and some quality fish in the mix as well – let’s dive in!

Now this week, I am doing a slight shift in focus, and instead of focusign on a particular launch spot, focusing on choosing high percentage areas to go inshore fishing.

I fished Lake Toho on Sunday, Saturday I went on my first ever trip to Mosquito Lagoon, but today I am going to just talk Toho – but there will be Mosquito Lagoon write ups in the future! But as we enter a very exciting time on the Florida Bass Fishing Calendar (Spawning Season) – I thought this would be a good time to check out how Lake Toho is doing.

So here’s the thing about Headwaters Lake – the fishing is great, I’ve never had a “bad” day there – even a bad Headwaters day is still pretty good. It’s a lot like Pizza, and sex – even when it’s bad, it’s still good (lol).

This week I embarked on an adventure to fish a new chain of lakes for the first time ever, the Conway Chain in Orlando, so without further adu, let us jump right on in.

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.
