The Snook Bite Has Been on Fire!
Snook have been very active in the shallows around the mangroves over the past few days. I've been having success skip casting lures (dark colored 3.5" paddle tails on 1/8oz jigs as well as 5" jerk shads rigged weedless on 1/8oz weighted hooks) up underneath mangroves during the late morning [...]
Tough Inshore Fishing
Another week of inclement weather made for some tough inshore fishing. While the trout, jacks, mackerel, snapper, Sheephead, bluefish and ladyfish weren’t too hard to catch the inshore redfish and snook bite was a bit slow for us.
Water Levels Up @ Headwaters
The lake is up 20” over regulation and there is a lot of floating vegetation pretty much everywhere. The vegetation is blocking the S canal just south of the entrance to the North Lake.
Bottom Stirred Up
All though the weather has been a little wild this past week with some wind and rain it has not effected the bite. The bite continues to be strong throughout the waters of New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon.
Time to Think Sheepshead!
With slowly declining water temperatures and winter approaching it’s time to think sheepshead. While I’ve been thinking about them for a couple of weeks now this past Tuesday was my first time targeting them this season.
Kayak Fishing (in Inclement Weather) – Pelican Island NWR
What a weekend we just had weather wise, sheesh. If you are reading this and are sane, then you probably stayed indoors and safely out of the borderline tropical storm conditions that bore down on us this past weekend. But if like me, you show signs of increasing mental instability when it comes to making decisions when it comes to fishing, you may have made a run at going anyway.
Windy & Rough Week on Lagoon
Extremely windy and rough week on the lagoon, but we did have some opportunities of getting some trout as well as some bluefish and mackerel.
Targeting Residential Canals
This week's cooler weather temperatures are going to push redfish, black drum and speckled trout into holes and residential canals where the water temperature is a little more stable.
Inlet Jetty Closing for Week
Good morning all my fishing fans, this is going to be another short report, and not so good either, due to the bad weather we had all last week, and the weekend...
Landlocked till January…
Earlier in the week we had about 4 hrs to fish. Captain Joe and myself decided to take a ride and see if we could find anything. Well, we found an acre of these big boys.
High Water @ Headwaters
The Headwaters Lake is up 18" and there is a lot of floating vegetation pretty much everywhere...
Wrapping up 2023
Well, we’re in the last two weeks of 2023 and the fishing has been great with lots of big redfish being caught and some great schools of black drum being found.
