This past weekend I fished a part of the Banana River I have never fished before on the west side of Merritt Island, just south of the 528 Causeway. I have to say, for a new spot I was pleased with how it went. Let’s dive in!

In the spirit of gratitude and Thanksgiving I am going to talk today about Kayaks by Bo, Inc – located right along US Highway 1, and backed up to the Indian River Lagoon in Titusville.

o a few weeks ago I went out to the Stick Marsh, my first time since the drawdown, and it was a bit of a struggle. I didn’t catch many fish, and the ones I did catch were small. I wanted to go back out before I made any rash comments or assumptions about the effects of the drawdown, and I am glad I did, because I had a good outing there this weekend.

I had a chance to on Sunday, I made my first trip to Stick Marsh since before the draw down. I have been there since Christmas time last year, and to be honest, it really wasn’t my day! Due to my lack of success, and limited time on the water over the weekend, this will not be a very long report.

I was a little squeezed for time this weekend, my football team won again Friday – we’re currently 7-2, and having already defeated Holy Trinity we have our last regular season game this week, and with a win will lock up a district title and home field advantage for the round of 16 playoff game.

I was able to get out on Sunday morning and fish for a few hours at Headwaters Lake. I have recently had two inquiries about fishing in this area, so this seemed like a timely report to come out with!

So we have found us a great spot for inshore fishing from land, Kiwanis Park at Geiger Point located at the base of the Melbourne Causeway (192) right there in downtown Melbourne. This is a good spot for several reasons.

There are a couple of different places you can launch from if you are interested in kayaking East Lake Toho, and over time I will certainly go back and explore other parts of the lake.

So maybe you stumble upon my weekly writings because you have already been bitten with the kayak fishing bug and you’re looking to upgrade from your starter kayak to something a little more advanced. Maybe you have stumbled upon these reports because you want to be more involved in fishing, and you want to have a chance to get out from the shorelines, and the beaches and explore the water.

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.
