BAIT!
Bait, bait, and more bait. There are excellent numbers of small pilchard’s, pogies and glass minnows in our local waters right now, and these baitfish are the preferred dinner choice for just about every predatory fish that swims in our lagoons.
The Surf’s Seasonal Changing of the Guard
May and June mark the seasonal species changing of the guard along the Central East Coast of Florida. Meaning, summertime surf fishing translates to big fish with early morning and late afternoons providing the best conditions.
Choppy With a Chance of Fish
I hope everyone is doing well and has been managing to catch some fish despite the dirty water and patchy weeds. The bite has been interesting over the past week, with some beaches and tides showing perfect conditions, yet no fish showing up, while other seemingly subpar days have been absolutely on fire!
Fishing Still Slow @ Sebastian Inlet
I hope everyone had a great weekend, the weather was OUTSTANDING! But not so much the fishing. lol.
Choppy Waters Keeping Things Inshore
Had a great week of inshore fishing. The winds were up, but the activity was pretty solid with plenty of snook, a few red fish, and some trout, and even some sharks.
Bluegill Spawn!
For me this week the better areas on all three lakes that I fish lately are where you find good concentrations of dragonflies working the waters. Both bass and the spawning bluegill are feasting on them.
Kayak Fishing the Indian River
Fishing enthusiasts know that success on the water can be a delicate balance of skill, timing, and the right equipment. This past week has been a testament to that, with anglers finding the most success in the early hours and late afternoons.
Crushed Grouper Season Opening
This was the first year in over 5 that opening day of grouper season it was calm! Capt Joe made the best of it and crushed it.
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.
High Pressure System
We have had a high pressure sitting over Florida for the last week or so producing clear sunny days and lack of rain.
Snook Holding Tight to Structure
Fishing has been pretty productive lately, and it looks like we can expect the same this upcoming week! As a kayak fisherman, the wind kept me off the water quite a bit last week, but I was able to pick up on a couple of trends.
