Big Uglies (Black Drum) on the move, Canaveral National Seashore
Big schools of black drum on the move in the lagoons.🤩 I spent the past week fishing the Canaveral national seashore area, both from shore and on my hobie outback kayak. If your able to start at 1st light the shallows and flats are hot for topwater action but it [...]
Plenty of Bait on Mosquito Lagoon
The temperature’s this past week have been hot to say the least reaching mid 90’s and feeling well over a hundred but with that being said that bite has been fire early morning to mid morning. We have had plenty of bait covering the shallow flats of Mosquito Lagoon along with the back waters of New Smyrna Beach.
Headwaters area
This week we fished 3 Forks and Headwaters. 3 Forks at daylight has been remarkable. Popshad and boy howdee type baits have really proven themselves. Scattered grass clumps and depth changes are key.
Consistent Bite on IRL’s Mangrove Shorelines
This week, I targeted the mangrove shorelines in the Indian River, focusing on early morning fishing trips to beat the heat. The bite has been consistent throughout the morning, slowing down as the sun rises higher in the sky.
Micro Slam on the Canaveral Barge Canal/Sykes Creek
Today I am going to report on a new kayak fishing spot in Merritt Island. The Canaveral Barge Canal & Sykes Creek. I went to this spot because it's really hot outside, and I was hoping to find some bigger fish laid up in the deeper water of the canal, and in Sykes Creek.
Action ALL Over the Inlet!
I hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather was awesome, and so was the fishing! The action was all over the inlet, but the north side was the better spot due to the cleaner water. There were baitfish in and around the inlet over the weekend: finger mullet, greenies and pilchards, mojarras in the back, but still NO glass minnows in the surf that are usually present this time of year.
Shark Fishing Cocoa Beach
Doesn't everyone enjoy summertime beach fishing in Florida? The sweltering heat, random thunderstorms, southeast winds stirring the waters, and bathtub-warm water! It's been an off-and-on week with catches of the usual summertime whiting, local pompano, palometas, and ladyfish.
Fishing Just OK
The inshore bite has been okay early morning. DOA shad tails have been productive along the mangroves that are a bit deeper. Water has been low, so finding some deeper drops around the mangroves is the key as well as finding bait pods.
Good Catching Last Week
Last week's outings were a better catching time for me. We spent our first outing at 3 Forks. Our intentions were to head south but that didn't work for us as we came very close to the end of the narrow trail that you must take in a boat to a disappointing stop.
Tarpon & Seatrout
This week, the story has been all about tarpon with a few trout mixed in. The cold water up well has continued along the beach, keeping the tarpon in the river in great numbers.
Finishing by Mid Morn
Unlike the weather here in Central Florida the bite continues to stay consistently good. We have been starting early and finishing by mid morning to beat the heat and storms that have been hitting us all week.
East Lake Toho
Went out of Lakefront Park to the left and fished along the reeds and got this one on the 2nd cast, almost 2lbs. I stayed in a 100 yard stretch of water and got 8 on a Gambler Burner worm in Black and Blue flake with a blue tail and [...]
