Kayak Fishing: Gifford Cut (Vero)
Today I am going to talk about a new spot; and it was one of the one’s I mentioned last week on my report about top places to go kayak fishing in Central Florida. This report is about one of those spots listed in Vero Beach. Let’s dive in!
Chasing Fish in the Lagoons
The beaches are full of fish this week, but the high surf is making it a little difficult to get out there and enjoy catching them. So we are chasing fish around the lagoons this week.
Indian River Fishing Report
This week's focus was on exploring both dock structures and mangrove shorelines/flats. While the docks were relatively quiet, the mangroves and flats proved to be hotspots.
Fish are Firing Ahead of the Full Moon
Let me start by saying the beach fishing in the Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach areas has been electric when those mullet schools swing by. Yes, it has been rough on a few days, but the snook, black drum and pompano have been firing most days.
Rough Two Weeks!
It's been a rough two weeks for me lately. It started out the morning I met up with my friend John at Headwaters as our usual outing together. After prepping the boat loading my gear into it, I hopped back into my truck to move to a parking spot when I noticed my check engine light was on.
North Winds to Pump the Bait Run
Inshore fishing has been pretty good, but most of the small schools of mullet have moved on. Whether they have migrated south or just moved out due to all of the rain, they have thinned out but we still have plenty moving south to get in the lagoon and run off the beach.
Influx of Stormwater Runoff @ Inlet
The intense snook action from a week ago has cooled down quite a bit from what it was. I spent the last three days there and didn't see a whole lot being caught with the snook.
Tarpon Bite Still Firing
The tarpon bite this week with the full moon has been on fire! With the calm winds we've experienced, the fishing along the beach for tarpon has gone off.
ALL of the Snappers!
The Ocean Obsession out of Sunrise Marina at Port Canaveral has been on the fish!
A Very Productive Week
This week's fishing report is an exciting one! We kicked off the week with a bang, scoring multiple productive trips with a variety of species. Snook, trout, redfish, flounder, and jack crevalle all made an appearance, keeping our rods bent and our adrenaline pumping. I targeted a range of habitats, [...]
COBIA and KINGS
What a great week we had, it was solid fishing every day. Kings and Cobia is what's for dinner! Bait is located every day up in the corner, both bunker and mullet.
Best Kayak Fishing Spots in East Central Florida
Anglers of all types get excited for fall fishing along the East Central Florida region. I thought this would be a good time to write a compilation piece of my personal favorite kayak fishing spots in our area of the state. I am going to break the list down by species, and list 3 places for the 5 major sport fish targetted by kayak anglers.
