A Smorgasbord of Tasty Fish!
The Ocean Obsession out of Sunrise Marina at Port Canaveral is at it again putting their customers on a smorgasbord of tasty fish! Lane snapper, mangrove snapper, triggerfish and cobia have all made it over the rail and into the pail this past week.
Good Drum Fishing Despite Wind
Despite having a very windy week, the fishing has been very good with lots of double hook ups of redfish and black drum.
Weather Behaving
The weather finally started to behave here in the Central Florida area this past week. The wind had subsided making the backwaters of New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon slick out for a few days.
Alligator Lake, Trout and Coon
Went to Alligator Lake twice last week, Wednesday and Saturday, and did okay. Wednesday was going to be a tournament but it was canceled for weather but I went anyway and got 4 before the wind got up too much.
Weather Making Fishing Difficult
This past weekend has been a tad bit windy here in the New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach area, making fishing a little difficult at times.
Spring Fishing Patterns Emerging in the Indian River
This past week was extremely productive, and I expect the strong bite to continue this week. Early in the week, I found larger schools of mullet, which is typically what I look for when fishing for snook.
Grant: Seafood Festivals & Spoil Island Kayak Fishing
In lieu of not fishing this weekend, and having Grant-Valkaria on my mind, I want to talk about some spoil island tactics that have served me well in the past, and talk a little bit about the seafood festival...
Get your bait and hit the beach!
Good fishing along the space coast. I'll keep this one short and simple. Get your bait and hit the beach. Find that clean water and some good lead to hold bottom.
Expect Rough Conditions This Week
Fishing on Friday and Saturday was pretty good, but the activity dropped off Sunday when the NNE winds picked up. The water was clean, but still a bit cool at 69; that was good for Friday and Saturday.
Headwaters Bass Report
The water temp is 67 degrees when we started this morning and 68 when we finished up. The S canal has a blockage south of the north lake opening.
Kingfish Starting to Trickle In
Shark fishing has been on fire for the last week and a half or so. Using cut bait out in front of the pier has been working just fine.
Warmth Brings Incredible Fishing
Finally a break from the cold and some incredible fishing! This winter has been a chilly one but thankfully we have started to see a pretty good warm up and the fishing is heating up as well!
