Kaying and Wading the Flats – Summer Inshore Special
This week, my report is going to be about something a little different — I’m calling it a summer-time special.
Saltwater Assassin Sea Shad Gets it Done!
I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July weekend last week. I count my blessings that I live in a country where I'm free to go fishing for a living and I owe it all to the men and women who have served and are currently serving in the US military.
Live Bait Key to Getting On the Fish
Not much has changed in terms of the strategy that has kept our customers on the fish. The goal is to find live bait before running offshore.
Tough Fishing Inshore
Inshore fishing is super tough right now. Water quality from the sewage spills a few weeks ago and all of the rain has made inshore fishing tough with live bait during the day.
Change of Pace @ Headwaters
Last week, John and I went to Headwaters for a change of pace. I haven't been there since this past April. Sure was different looking, everything is grassed up, compared to the wide-open waters of the Stick Marsh.
Murky Water @ Inlet
Good morning all my Sebastian Inlet fans and anglers, hope everyone had a nice, safe July 4th holiday weekend! Aside from the rain, it was nice.
Trout & Redfish Bite Turnt Up
The trout and redfish bite has turned on this week with lots of fish being caught using live pigfish or croakers. Don’t forget this coming Friday and Saturday is our illustrious two-day red snapper season so plan accordingly.
Bite Strong Despite Recent Pressure
The bite has continued to be strong after the influx of holiday boat traffic that had scattered from Daytona Beach south through New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon for the Forth of July.
The North Jetty is BACK!
It was a grand day yesterday, Monday, June 30th for the reopening of the north jetty! Was a fantastic turnout to say the least! The weather was great, water was clean and clear, and the fish were there in abundance!
This week’s Report
Summer's heat is in full swing, and our waters are buzzing with life! The backwaters continue to produce, although many of the larger snook have moved to their spawning grounds. Don't worry, though - plenty of smaller snook and redfish are still around, and juvenile tarpon are abundant.
Snook Remain Stars of the Show
Snook are still the stars of the show outside of Port Canaveral this week. Live baitfish are the number one way to get a bite, but you can also cast 4 to 5-inch soft plastic lures to schools of fish that are holding in the surf break.
A Tale of Two Jungles: Part II – Shingle Creek
Today I'm finishing what I started last week: A Tale of Two Jungles. If you missed Part I — my urban bass adventure on Lake Ivanhoe — you can check it out here.
