Mullet Everywhere in Fort Pierce
Mullet, mullet (almost) everywhere both north and south of town! If you’ll look closely you’ll see black mullet already round bodied with roe beginning to group-up. You should also notice lots of large schools of silver mullet in the six to eight inch range from the deeper flats to the shorelines. Finally, there are still a fair number of fingerling silvers holding close to structures like docks and mangroves.
Best Surf Fishing in Months!
The best surf fishing we have seen on the east coast in months. It’s an all out red hot fishery with fish biting on each and every cast. Currently we’re catching anywhere from 30-50 fish a trip in four hours.
High Water levels and Cooler Temps…
With the remaining high-water levels, off-colored water, winds, and latest cool down this past week’s inshore trips were some what of a challenge. Although slowly receding, water levels throughout our lagoons are still at a higher-than-normal level. All the runoff from the recent storm and winds from this latest cool front have the water fairly churned up which presented some difficulty for sight fishing on the flats and mangrove shorelines.
Higher, Clean Water In Mosquito Lagoon
Fishing has been very good this week with the higher clean water. Redfish, snook, trout and flounder have been eating Zman paddle tails on an 1/8 ounce jig head working the edges of shorelines.
Surf Fishing Heating Up
The surf has started to clean up from the storm and the cold fronts are starting to move through the area cooling off the water temperature and getting the fall pompano migration started. Good numbers have been coming in around the state with big numbers in the Jacksonville area right now. The hot bait has been crab knuckles, live sand fleas and fresh clams. Fish bites white and yellow crab, coquina clam and sand flea flavor has also been producing.
Stick Marsh & Headwaters Fishing Well
Stick Marsh and Headwaters are fishing really well right now. The strong north winds limited where we could fish the past couple days so a few of my spots we had to abandon some great fish.
Winter is Coming!
Fall is winding down and winter is quickly approaching. This week the Space Coast is going to experience its first cold snap of the year! Tarpon fishing has slowed, but the snook and redfish bite is still going strong! Anglers can find good numbers of snook and redfish of all sizes around each and every inlet right now.
Surf Fishing & the Cold Front
Can you feel it in the air? It's coming! So, what does a cold front mean for surf fishing?
Permit on the Flats
Another good week of inshore and nearshore fishing this last week. Plenty of bait around and the snook, reds and trough were plentiful. Live bait and DOA paddle tails were the ticket this week. We even found a school of permit on the flats a few days which is something you don’t see every day in Sebastian and we managed to catch a few on DOA soft plastics.
Canaveral: Seaweed
Seaweed, seaweed, and more seaweed. Not sure when the surf will work itself out. But, it's unfishable right now.
Kayak Fishing Report: One Lure Produces Grand Slam
Happy Monday SpaceFish Family, This past Saturday morning I was able to get out and fish a new spot - launching out of Long Point Park just north of Sebastian Inlet. I am not going to do a spot report today, because honestly I was not able to cover [...]
South Florida Pomps!
South Florida, here! Super stoked to have a welcome arrival of pomps in the Hutchinson Island region. Northern fronts and the ground seas from offshore tropical depressions have surprisingly brought our resident fish to our beaches. A plus, plus for the ultra light jigging community -- pomps, lady fish and jacks have found a home at the Stuart and Jensen relief bridges.
