Great Fishing Inshore
Fishing has been great this past week with blue skies and large schools of fish. We are catching black drum, redfish, trout and mangrove snapper with a few snook mixed in.
Bottom Smackdown
Finally a beautiful day in the mix of an angry mother nature. Fishing was good, very good. Capt. Joe and Capt. Logan put a bottom smackdown on. Plenty of great eating fish right there. We fished roughly 100 feet all day. W
Lower, Cooler Water
This recent cold front moving through Central Florida has fired these fish up again. We have definitely got some cooler temperatures this week along with a shift in the wind direction lowering the water levels though out New Smyrna beach and Mosquito Lagoon.

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.
Seatrout everywhere!
The Seatrout bite in our lagoon systems is hot right now. I know it may not be your favorite targeted species and they aren't big by any means but if you are looking to break up the monotony of winter fishing or you're in a fishing slump and you just [...]
The Fish are Here
Hey everybody, it's been a while since my last report, but I'm here and happy to say the fish are here -- but it's up to us to find them. Over the last few days that I've fished there's a couple things I noticed that I'm going to point out.
Full Moon
With the combination of the warm weather and the full moon this week, I decided to go night fishing. I went out both Thursday and Friday evenings. I had success in areas around the mangroves where I was able to hear bait activity. Paddle tails in the 3.5 to 5" range, rigged on 1/8 and 1/16 oz jigs got the job done!
Exploring the Loxahatchee River
I took the show on the road this past weekend and explored previously unchartered waters, and it is a place I have been wanting to fish for sometime… South Florida’s beautiful Loxahatchee River! Let’s dive in!
Pompano and Bonnethead Party
This week should go down in history as "Bonnethead Week," haha. Every customer in our shop expressed that they caught a baby bonnethead this week. The past week featured milky water with an occasional pompano, keeper-size black drum, and some forearm-size whiting. It wasn't by any means "on fire" fishing. The past week was a test of whether you had the patience to actually fish.
Fishing Slowed Up Inshore
Our inshore fishing slowed up a little bit with the cold fronts, and all the rain which has pushed a lot of freshwater out of the Sebastian river and into the lagoon and the inlet.
Fish in Funky Mood, Empty Beds @ Headwaters
Old man Winter put the bite in a Funky mood earlier last week. Water temperatures were hugging the 60 degree mark and what fish we did manage to catch were very cold to the touch.
Black Drum Bite on Fire
The black drum fishing this past week has been on fire with calm winds and big schools of fish. A jig head tipped with shrimp has been the easiest and most effective way to catch these fish.
