Interesting fishing trip this week. I’ve still been sticking to my topwater rotation of lures. The bite as slowed down compared to a month or two ago but I’m still able to consistently catch fish. […]

The bite continues to stay strong throughout the Mosquito Lagoon. We still have a steady flow of bait on the flats and the fish can still be found holding around it. Live bait and artificials have both been working well.

Fall is upon us and what an exciting time it is for surf fishing anglers on the Space Coast. The annual fall mullet run will be ignited into another dimension with the baitfish pouring down our coastline. Mix this annual occurrence with a change in the weather and water temps and look for a dynamic fishery over this fall period.

September and October on the Space Coast are a magical time. Fall is always great fishing and these few months are famous for our drum spawn.

Honestly not a bad week for offshore fishing out of the Port. I’d rate it a 8/10. Customers were very happy — and that’s all we want!

The best time for bass fishing right now is early to mid morning and the evening. Both times are really productive. The Bass Assassin Die Dapper, RSB worm (Junebug Red) and the Zman Poppin Shadz are the baits working best for us right now. Remember, you can find all your freshwater tackle needs at Fellsmere Outdoor Adventures.

This week’s report is going to be a little different than our last few. We’ve been spending more time in the lagoons with the heightened swell from hurricane Larry over the past week. This allowed us to fish some of the places that we hadn’t in a while and explore some of the shorelines that we usually find trout, redfish and snook holding on at this time of the year.

Last week was slower than slow for my two days on the water. We fished one day at Headwaters and one day at 3 Forks. Headwaters was extremely slow with only 6 fish caught. Two out of the six were decently sized at 5 and 6 pounds. The next day we went to 3 Forks and got a BIG goose egg. This area has always produced bites in the past but not this day.

The bull Reds have moved into the inlet and have been eating either large select shrimp and croakers or finger mullet on the bottom. Tarpon have been very thick on the beach, weather permitting, and will eat properly placed large mullet or croaker. In the river the jacks, tarpon, snook, and snapper have been very aggressive around structures such as docks and bridges.

The mangrove snapper bite has been hot on the bay with beefy mangroves up to 21″ on most trips. Come get on some of the action with me or Capt Gavin. 865-363-1388 /813-418-0225.

Nearshore we had decent shark fishing and tarpon fishing. Out on the reef we had solid days of live bait trolling for king mackerel and almost every trip we would catch the occasional cobia, mahi or blackfin tuna. The mangrove snapper bite was inconsistent and when we did find them up in the water column they did not give us long before they would get spooky. Overall, we had an easy Summertime grind that yielded some great catches and put smiles on customers faces.

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend taking in some much needed relaxation. They say Labor Day is the end of summer, but here in Florida it doesn’t cool down until about January 😂.
