Fishing Remains Good
Fishing remains good. Some of the high water is starting to recede. Over the month of November, temperatures start to cool off and the fish tend to get very aggressive feeding before the winter months. There’s still a few tarpon around until we get a big cold arctic blast to push them out. Black drum are starting to school and redfish are becoming site fishable in the lagoon backwaters, too.
Monsters from the Deep
Chris Pashos and son Dean may have broken the scale with these monsters! They landed on the meat deep dropping out of Port Canaveral.
Surf Bite on Fire Early Morning
The early morning surf bite has been on fire the past week with pompano, whiting, and bluefish being the hot action. Good numbers of pompano have been getting caught all the way from Jacksonville to Melbourne. The bite has been shutting down around 10-1030am.
Great Variety Offshore
Feels good to write the report for the first time in a while! It was a good week, for sure. Check out these pics and look at the variety. Captain Joey got a unicorn of a African Pompano. Check out the colors on this thing. Beautiful. We had maui wowis, blackfin tuna studs, and kings showed up nicely, too.
Variety of Baits Producing
We put some nice fish in the boat this week on a variety of baits on Stick Marsh and Headwaters. If you are fishing artificial baits cover water. These fish are moving around and hard to pattern.
Long Point
We launched our kayaks at long point park and fished around the surrounding islands this afternoon. Two fat Whitening right next to the ramp to start off, headed south around the main island out to the IRL. Caught lots of Jack’s I was using a 2 1/2 “ mullet looking [...]
Surf
Hit the beach up this afternoon, one small pomp, black drum and a permit all on fishbite with a dead shrimp on the end. Weeds were manageable, not a lot of bait fish activities.
Kayak Fishing Report: Changing Weather/Changing Tactics
So this past week saw a cold front push through, and then strong north winds in the days that followed. I was able to go out and fish Saturday morning, I was going to return to Long Point to do a spot report there, but I ended up changing plans and fishing the Banana River in the Thousand Islands off of Cocoa Beach due to time constraints, and the need to make a Lowe's run after fishing for a home project we were working on this past weekend.

Don’t Call it Hyperbole
After being a full time charter captain for the past 25 years, I don’t usually like to throw the words “epic” or “incredible” around when talking about the fishing each week. This past week's snook bite at our area inlets has been just that- nothing short of spectacular!
Good Bite On Beach, Inlet & Inshore
Winds were down and we were able to hit the beach a few days and ran into some tarpon, Mackerel, bonito and sharks. The bite was hot on both artificial and live bait for most species. We even ran into a few schools of Bluefish that went 10lbs on topwater plugs which were a blast.
Finally Back on the Water!
It’s been a long 2 1/2 months of knee pain that kept me from doing pretty much nothing. It’s been just over a week after surgery to the meniscus tears on my left knee and I have been pain free since. I was finally able to pull my boat down to Garcia last week and take a look around.
