Snook, Cobia, Tripletail…
Canaveral has been the place to go if you’re looking to tussle with a big snook lately. The bite has been best fairly early in the day. Live baitfish or jumbo shrimp seem to be working best. Along the near coastal waters, cobia and tripletail are possible.
Tough Conditions @ Inlet
Good morning, Sebastian Inlet fishing fans. I hope you had a great weekend despite all the wind. This report, once again is going to be short due to the weather conditions spanning from Friday through the weekend.
Wade Fishing in the Banana River
This week I am switching gears a little bit…DISCLAIMER no kayak was used in this report. Today I am going to talk about my most recent outing with my kids.
Great Week Offshore
It was a great week, for sure. Fishing was good and the kings were scattered along with the rays. We had way more kings though, lol.
Great Catching at Headwaters & Garcia
This past week was a great catching few days on both Headwaters and Garcia. I tagged along with my friend John whom I fish with once a week. We were hoping they would be chewing the day before the front and it didn’t take long for the fish to just show us that they were hungry. It really didn’t matter what we offered them for lures to use because everything we did tie on they ate it.
Pomp, Whiting, Blues, Spanish Mack
The fishing in the Volusia County area has been pretty hot, with pompano, whiting, bluefish and Spanish mackerel being the main bite.
Headwaters Report
The lake is 8” above regulation. Water temps are around 72 degrees when I’m starting. The S Canal was clear at noon today.
“Not Yet…”
Just when you think Spring has arrived and the fish start to get into their Spring time pattern Mother Nature says "not yet" with a little winter blast of cool air.
Fish Firing Hard Ahead of Front
Prior to the frontal passage on Monday afternoon the fish were firing off hard! We hope this will continue for the rest of the week, but it remains to be seen at this point
March Offshore Fishing
March is here and I finally have my first fishing report worth doing in 2024. The last 2 months have just been plagued with rough seas, cold dirty water and mostly very poor fishing.
Things Are Warming Up!
This warmer weather we've been having has sure woken the river up! The mornings have been very productive along the mangroves. Target zones where fish are visibly chasing prey. Small paddle tails on lightweight jigs continue to be effective.
Good Numbers, Empty Beds
It was a busy week for me last week getting out on the water. Tuesday I was out on Headwaters. We did pretty good for numbers but big fish have still eluded us. We finally had some fun topwater action. With the calm winds the hydrilla gnats were out in force. We found lots of empty beds as well.
