Snook Season Opens Feb 1st
Good morning all you Sebastian Inlet hard core fishing junkies! I hope everyone is thawing out from all the COLD weather we had last week! Wasn't very welcoming at all. Lol. But this week's weather looks to be pretty promising and more spring-like -- bring it!
Big Weather Change
Is the weather finally warming up a little this week? It's been COLD the past couple of weeks, and neither the fish nor the fishermen have been enjoying it! Fishing on the beach has been slow, with the fish acting lethargic due to the chilly water temperatures.
Coldest Water in Over A Decade
Coldest water temps we've seen since 2010 at 50 degrees. Haven't seen any fish kills thank goodness but temps got dangerously close. The bite went cold too.
Bye Bye Grey and Hello Sunshine!
What's up East Side Family, we just went through the most arctic conditions for Florida didn't we? I'm happy to say good riddance and bring on the heat and sunshine.
Snapper, Triggers, Cobia…
If you are looking to get offshore with a great captain and crew, the Ocean Obsession out of Sunrise Marina at Port Canaveral has had their customers on the fish! Lane, mangrove and mutton snapper along with triggerfish and cobia are all being caught right now.
Some Fish Still Recovering from Cold Shock
According to the 10 day forecast we may be out of the frozen tundra weather for awhile here in the New Smyrna Beach area. The forecast is calling for highs in the 70’s with some clear skies making for some great fishing on Mosquito Lagoon and the surrounding waters.
Warming Trend Should Activate Bite
Water temperatures have been cool and fishing has been a little challenging with the wind, but we've had some nice catches of redfish, black drum with some trout here and there.
Fishing the Big Flush
I've always called it the big flush. It’s also called the squeegee, the drain and other such names. They all refer to the same phenomenon that leads to fantastic light tackle fishing on the St Johns River.
Winter is Not Playing Nice!
Brutal winds, cold temperatures and lately lots of rain have made for some down right tough conditions! But even with all the bad weather there has been a few really awesome fishing opportunities!
Fellsmere area
Boy is it cold windy and rainy! Water temperature reached 65 now is 55.
Challenging Week Ahead for Fishing
This is going to be a quick report, just isn't much going on down there except for all the migratory birds, and there are lots of them!
Nighttime Snook Action Remains Strong
This week's nighttime snook fishing was on fire! Targeting mangrove shorelines with active bait was the key to landing some impressive snook. Small 3-3.5" paddle tails, retrieved slowly, proved to be the winning combination.
