port-canaveral-red-snapper

Well, this week pretty much stunk for the Mahi, either A- they came and went or B- they moved to the Other Side. Any boat that was able to go to the other side killed the mahi and a bunch of tuna. But lets face it, not many can afford to run 100 miles to do a little fishing. For the rest of us on this side of the stream, the bit was an unexpected “no go.” We wasted a lot of time and fuel for nothing, but honestly, what was our alternative — troll the reefs in 65 degree water for nothing? Unfortunately, kings are still shut off due to cold temps. We really hope something changes drastically and quickly. Red snapper releasing seems to be the only safe bet in town at the moment. They are chewing hard and all over the place. Amberjack are a hit or miss lately but still better than nothing at the moment. Chicken rigging is doing okay producing some lane snapper, but not a whole lot else, really.

Nearshore shark fishing isnt bad, and is probably one of the best bets to have fun in the evenings. They have been firing.

Good luck and lets hope the next week produces something majorly different.
