after 10 days of regular action the beach has slowed down big time; been north of the inlet; experienced guys say wait for the next cool down and there are more mullet and predators on […]

On Headwaters we hit our favorite spot first thing. It’s always a great topwater bite. I’m still throwing my favorite Yo Zuri Prop bait because the bass love to eat it. This special little spot also will gauge how the rest of our day will be for catching fish.

Moving offshore, we’ve come across very few kingfish lately. Hopefully we will see them show back up very soon. This fishery is a staple of our business, and without them, we’d be pretty screwed at times. Fortunately, this week, we’ve still managed to put fish in the boat.

Space Coast surf fishing delivered mixed results with varying conditions being the main contributing factor. Certain days were definitely more productive than others, while location played a significant role as well.

Bass fishing is on fire right now in all the local lakes near Fellsmere. Headwaters is producing huge fish on topwater baits and live bait. The Bass Assassin Logger Toad in Black worked over hydrilla in the morning has been a really hot bait. Lots of fish in the 7 to 10 pound range are being caught.

It’s still snook season and we are still catching good numbers of these tasty gamefish each week. Live baits like shrimp, mullet, pogies and croakers are working best for us. Big redfish ranging from 30 to 45 inches are also striking these same live baits for us on most trips. Tarpon, a variety of sharks, and Crevalle jack are other species you can expect to land when out on a fishing charter with us here at Fineline Fishing Charters.

For the first time since 1990, recreational anglers fishing in some parts of Florida will be allowed to take home a goliath grouper for dinner.

Fall colors come to Port Canaveral and Cocoa Beach in the form of red with black dots. Action packed fishing in the pogy pods is just about the best fishing anyone could ever ask for.

Looking out my window at work, I noticed how overcast it was all day long and day dreamed about how awesome the topwater bite must of been. So, when I got home I immediately went […]

I can’t believe we are already into October! The weather definitely is not “Fall-like” with highs still in the 90s, but nonetheless, the bite has continued to be good. We have been in the Mosquito Lagoon playing with snook, trout, redfish and jacks this past week. The mullet have shown up, making for an unlimited food source at this moment. Plugs and soft plastics have been working well early morning and then moving to spoons and twitch baits later in the day. Live bait has also been working well and the baits of choice have been mullet, pin fish and shrimp.

Snook fishing has been off the chain the past few weeks. I have been getting some of the biggest snook of the year using live baits around the jetties and along the near-coastal waters on my recent charters.

The fall mullet and pompano run continues to heat up as the water temperatures continue to fall. While the larger body of the pompano run is still in the north Florida area, a few keepers have started to show in the NSB area. Finding clear water is the key to finding the pompano. The bait of choice for me this week was the white crab, and orange clam fish bites.
