Finding Fish & Wind Protection on the Eau Gallie River
I hope everyone is having a great Holiday season so far. What an interesting weekend we just had, the weather warmed up, we had some humidity and cloud cover, but some very strong ENE winds rolled through. This made conditions in the IRL pretty choppy.
EFP Snapper Program
We got to fish for red snapper last week as part of the EFP Snapper program. Needless to say everywhere we went we caught a red snapper of large size.
Headwaters Bass Fishing
Top baits this week for me were the Bass Assassin RSB worms, Jackhammers, Lure Concept Spinnerbaits and the Mike Bucca 6" Trick Shad in Gizzard Shad color.
Good Action in the Lagoon
We've had good action in the lagoon. Plenty of trout and a decent snook bite even though they are smaller fish. There are some redfish and black drum being caught in the inlet, shrimp and croakers have been the best baits. The flounder bite has been decent, as well.
See “What Happens”
Guides often get charter requests where the client doesn't care what we target. I find it refreshing and always enjoy these trips. It's not unusual for me to start with a simple jig or spoon and see "what happens" and it gives me a few minutes to assess the clients casting abilities.
High Winds & Huge Surf @ Inlet
Good morning, Sebastian Inlet fishing fans. I hope everyone had a good weekend, despite the winds! This is another short report because the high winds and huge surf at the inlet for the last few days have made it difficult to fish some areas — especially the south jetty where it has been wet and wild! This week isn't going to be much better, until the weekend possibly.
This Weeks Report
The fishing has been absolutely on fire lately! The sheepshead bite has been particularly hot, with several catches exceeding 20 inches. As we progress deeper into the season, I expect the action to only intensify.
Weekend Report
Get the latest word on the bite with Damon from Spacefish on the Mark Moses Show. We talk local fishing every Friday on the air at 4pm.
Fish Holding Deep
As the weather consistently keeps changing from hot to cold the fish have settled into their winter time pattern. Look for the redfish, trout and black drum to holding in and around the sand holes and mud bottoms.
Fellsmere area lakes
Last week's cool front changed landscape. High winds and low temps have made mats move and hydrilla shrink back. These are new areas to target.
Rough Week Setting Up for the Surf
What’s up East Side family! We have a little bit of a rough week setting up high winds and surf this coming Wednesday 12/11 until at least Monday 12/16. Best bets to catch a fish will be finding clean water, and manageable surf.
