WEEKLY FORECAST
5.17.2022 – 5.23.2022
A CENTRAL FLORIDA FISHING FORECAST EVERY TUESDAY
Steve put his crew on the meat this past Saturday. It’s pretty safe to say that the dolphin are here!
This week, all the buzz is about the ocean’s most popular fish — the dolphin. The dolphin are here and there’s been no shortage of impressive catches hitting the docks. Some are even calling it the best dolphin bite we’ve had in YEARS…
Great timing for the 36th Annual CFOA Offshore Tournament this weekend! Note, the Tournament Day has been postponed until Sunday May 22nd. The Captain’s Party is still tonight, Friday May 20th at 6 pm. Online registration will remain open until Saturday afternoon.
IN THIS WEEK’S FORECAST…
SPACE B.O.I. FORECAST

BEACH
WEATHER OVERVIEW: This week is looking pretty good overall. The wind will be predominantly out of the S/SE this week. Tuesday & Wednesday both look like nice days. Thursday we should see an uptick in the wind. Friday, Saturday and Sunday chances for thunderstorms increase to over 50%. The winds will be manageable but just know since it’s calling for thunderstorms, a good strategy is to get out early to try and avoid getting caught in them. Overall in terms of wind though, Saturday and Sunday both look decent with Sunday having the lowest wind.

LOCAL SPOTLIGHT
TALKING SHOP & TOURNEYS WITH SUNSTATE PEST MANAGEMENT
Spacefish sits down with Steve Goff, southern Charmer and owner of Sunstate Pest Management, to talk about his business and involvement with the ongoing fishing tournament season.
Fishing Reports
In every week’s Spacefish fishing forecast, we turn to both fishing pros and average joe’s for input on what’s happening in and around Brevard County’s many fisheries. Here’s what people are saying about the bite in the Space Coast this week. And don’t forget — anyone — including YOU, can contribute a report to the list below!
The Strong Bite Continues
The bite has been pretty consistent in areas around structure with bait present. You will have the opportunity to catch redfish, snook, trout, jacks and ladyfish. I pulled this massive snook out from the mangroves Saturday morning on a Z-Man DieZel MinnowZ 4″ paddle tail in the pinfish color.
The fish really seem to be dialed in on the 4″ bait profile right now. A medium or medium heavy rod with 2500-3000 size reel, 15 pound braid and a 30 pound mono leader is all you need when using these lightweight lures. Since many of these fish can be found in shallow water, I rarely use a jig head heavier than 3/16 oz.

Hot Bite at Fox Lake
KAYAK FISHING REPORT
Happy Monday Spacefish!
This past weekend the temperatures were hot, and so was the Largemouth Bass bite at Fox Lake! This is a fishery that I have always enjoyed coming to, and one that I think gets overlooked here on Florida’s Spacecoast, with so much focus and attention going towards Headwaters, and Lake Toho; it is easy to forget what a gem Fox Lake is, especially if you live in northern Brevard. Since I started writing my weekly pieces for Spacefish I have tried to get up here at least twice a year, this was my 4th total trip to Fox Lake, and this was my most productive trip yet – I have always caught decent numbers here, but I finally had a good 20+ catch day, with a few quality fish sprinkled in to make it feel special.
Where to Launch
One cool thing about Fox Lake is that they have an actual kayak launch dock, which is pretty cool to use; it is located in the Northwest portion of Fox Lake PArk, just to the west of the boat ramp. The address is 4400 Fox Lake Rd, Titusville, FL 32796.
What Worked
So I started out throwing a hollow body frog, the Hendrix Fishing Voodoo Frog in Midnight Potion, I got 3 blowups, but went 0/3 in the landing department, which was slightly disappointing, but I was hooking up deep into lily pads, I was actually throwing the frog on the bank and sliding it into the water, so I realized how shallow the fish were, I switched over to the Zoom Speedworm in Junebug Red and started targeting the same areas and it was on. With the worm the hook up ratio was a lot better, and I ended up catching 17 fish on the speedworm. I threw it on a 7 foot baitcasted setup, with 20 pound braid, Texas rigged with a ⅛ oz tungsten worm weight pegged down on the hook. I also caught 4 fish on the Fish or Die Musket in Philadelpia (Junebug Red).
I have been to Fox Lake 4 times, and this water is super tannic, the Bass here are dark; some are almost jet black – black/blue and Junebug type colors are the most effective here, even on bright and sunny days. The Musket I fished weightless and weedless on a 4/0 hook, I split the diamond tail and fished it like a fluke stick, with a jerk bait cadence and this was effective when I needed to skip under overhanging trees, and when I needed to skip into gaps in clumps of reeds. That’s it folks; I’d like to talk about more, but even I am smart enough to KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) when the getting is good.
To borrow a quote from one of my favorite fictional characters, John Lakeman – “it’s never simple like that.” So many times I feel like it’s never simple, I go to a new place, or a place I haven’t been in 6 months and that first 2-3 hours I am having to figure out the fishery, find the patterns. So many times I go out, and I am grinding and probing. It was really nice to go out, and pretty much from the get go get on fish, and keep getting bites at a pretty consistent rate the whole time I was on the water, it reminded me of going to Headwaters before it was over pressured.
Best Type of Areas to Fish
So outside of the Speedworm being the best thing to fish with in any Florida lake outside of live shiners, I think the most important thing I can pass on in this report is what type of areas were fishing the best for me. I haven’t been doing a crazy amount of Bass fishing over the past month or 2; but going back to my Toho report a little while back, and my Lake Baldwin report 2 weeks ago there is a trend that has held up in 3 different lakes fished in 3 different parts of Central Florida over a 2 month span. The trend is finding different types of vegetation (cover) within close proximity of each other. The biggest two fish I caught were hanging close to grass mats and lily pads. The most consistent bite came from fish hanging on the outside edges of reeds, that were close to lily pads. But there is an area on the Southeast part of the lake where there are overhanging trees along the shoreline, and there are reeds and lily pads in the area as well – this area produced the most for concentrated numbers of fish.
Once the wind picked up a consistent pattern was finding an area where the water was moving, but you could get a cast in to an area that was protected, that served as an ambush point. Pictured below is a fish that ate the bait almost as soon as it hit that water. It was tucked up into this shaded pocket that was protected from the windblown water, the area looked like the perfect hidey hole for an ambush predator to nab easy food as it drifted by, I was able to get a cast right into the right spot; which made for an enjoyable catch! I (think) I got a good video of it, and will post on my instagram page this week – “spacefish_kayakangler” if you have instagram go check it out!
Conclusion
After a great outing there this past weekend, I highly recommend going to check out Fox Lake – the nice thing about the trends I experienced this past weekend is that this would be a great lake to go fish if you are a novice kayak angler, or maybe you are an experienced saltwater angler that wants to mix it up and get a little taste of the sweetwater! Most of the areas I fished with roughly within a mile of the launch spot. This is a healthy fishery with a lot of fish to be caught, and this isn’t a place where you have to cover a bunch of water to find them, or have to employ professional level fishing techniques to generate bites. With a little luck & persistence I think you may end up like me, with a pile of chewed up and torn soft plastic worms to clean out of the back of your kayak; thank proverbial junk pile that always symbolizes an action packed day on the water.
To re-count, my key takeaways that I think would make for an easy to execute gameplan are:
– Find areas with mixed cover (emergent vegetation).
– Fish a Junebug Red or Black/Blue Speedworm on a Pegged Texas Rig with either a ⅛ or 3/16 oz tungsten weight; use a slow to medium straight retrieve.
– Have fun!

Dirty Water in the Surf
Another sun-shining 80-degree week is ahead of us, with the lingering east winds tagging along! The full moon is upon us, and the fishing has been hit or miss due to the dirty waters. The past week’s swell on the beach wasn’t bad, but the currents were churning. This happens when the moon is approaching full phase, causing large periods of rising and falling waves to push onto the beach.
Anytime the tides have been moving, they have been producing bites, and they haven’t really indicated which tide has been best for fishing. Bait-wise, sand fleas have continued to grow in thicker quantities in the Cape Canaveral/Cocoa Beach areas, which is a great sign for fishing! We just need that dang water to clear up for us to get an outstanding bite. Mother Nature knows best and will figure it out for us. Whiting, black drum, and a few sheepshead have shown up to the party and will continue this week coming up.
Frozen shrimp pieces and sand fleas have been the go-to baits for the past week, paired on a pompano rig with heavy triangles (4 oz – 5 oz) and 3 oz – 4 oz sputniks. Pink and orange floats have been the go-to if you’re into using floats on your rigs.
Shark fishing has been a tad bit hard this week due to the surf conditions, but they have been steadily caught. Bonito, ladyfish chunks, and whole mullets are the baits to target them. We have some secrets that have been producing bigger bites, but that’s an in-person kind of talk, you know. Stop by the shop and learn the secrets.
Looking forward to seeing y’all and tight lines!

It’s Snook Season!
It’s snook season! The big ones are becoming more user friendly now that the water temps have risen into the mid 70-degree range. Live pilchards, croakers and menhaden are top baits to use right now. A few of these fish have been keepers as well. Our best action this past week is during the morning outgoing tide. They tend to shut down during the middle of the day, then start back up on the afternoon incoming tide.
Captain Justin and I have also been catching a lot of 4 to 8 pound class black drum on some of the near-coastal reefs. We’ve had multiple days with 15 to 20 drum landed, and one group of clients landed over 40 drum on their trip. Mix in a few sheepshead, redfish, black margate and mangrove snapper and you’ve got the makings of a great day of fishing. The fishing is just getting better and better, so come book a fishing charter with Captain Justin or myself and let’s get out there and catch you next memory!

Inshore Bite TURNT UP
Inshore fishing has turned on this last week. Snook bite on live bait has been pretty good with snook from lower 20” range up to the 40” size and in between. Live greenies have been very productive and some fish are being caught on 4″ DOA jerk baits. light colors are best jerk baits to use. Inlet bite has been decent as well with some redfish as well as a few snook with plenty of jacks and some jewfish as well. Live pigfish and mojarra have been working well there.
Schools of jacks have been moving up and down the lagoon and with light winds you will see the schools of fish swimming and or daisy chaining on the surface. Fish have been anywhere from 5lbs to 25lbs and are aggressive if you don’t spook them with the boat. Nearhsore bite will be kicking off soon but with the front this week, it will be most likely too rough to get out. If the winds come out of the west we will be out looking for the bait pods and schools of Tarpon, Jacks and Bonito crashing glass minnows.

What A Week Offshore!
This is the first week since October that we were almost able to complete the entire week offshore. The fishing was literally good one day then bad the next. EVERY day. We feel the full moon had something to do with it.
GET BAIT. Bunkers have been around and one day is easy, next is difficult, but try to throw that net and make it work. Some days it seems to be the make and break. They have been scattered all over from the port to around the tip to Patrick AFB.
Pelican has been a little slow towards the end of the week. then it turned into the ocho Alpha. The water was much cleaner and the fish followed that. There was a clean line just outside it and held some fish. We also had some scattered sails and mahi. Please don’t go mahi trolling at the reef…
Minnows worked as well but once the live bait shows up you may as well throw the minnows as chum. It’ll turn them off quickly.
For all you Mahi lovers… Go king fishing. At least you will catch something. lol
They just aren’t here yet. The reef is holding more mahi inside of the stream. If you’re fortunate to have a go fast boat, then go to the other side or at least much farther out and use the radar to find them birds. Last week the tuna and mahi did very well, but it got slow over the weekend — well, slower. anyway.
Have an awesome week. Looks like the weather is shaping up nicely again starting mid tuesday. Good luck and stay safe.

Fantastic Fishing on Headwaters & Garcia
Gotta love this weather for us anglers this past week. Fishing on Headwaters and Garcia was fantastic! The topwater bite for me still isn’t showing the love that I expected but talking to others they had a different story and said they threw it all day and caught fish. My one lure on Headwaters still is a small suspending jerk bait(Yo Zuri 3D Fingerling) throwing in the pot holes throughout the hydrilla flats. Still wind is your friend here.
Garcia fished like the Good Ole Days for me and my long time friend this past week. We did manage to get several on topwater but this bite died quickly. I tried my jerk bait but no luck. My last choice of lure was the key to success as after 3 casts and three fish my friend changed over as well. We never moved more than a hundred yards in an area all day long. This was simple worm fishing 101. Junebug and Red Shad were the colors that were the best colors.
Going back again this week but bringing my Ferris to try for a personal best if the fish are still there.

Inlet Fishing Remains Hit-or-Miss
Good morning and happy Monday/Earth day to everyone! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, the weather was marvelous! This week is going to start off a bit breezy at the inlet, but only for Monday and Tuesday with NNE winds 15-25 and possible gust to around 30, and settle back down by Wednesday, so it will be a bit of a chore to fish the north side with the wind swell. I’m hoping that the NNE will bring in some cleaner water like it usually does, and start the pompano and Spanish mackerel back up again. We’ll see.
Fishing at the inlet for has remained slow, hit-or-miss, as always, due to water conditions fluctuating between cool and warm, and clean to silty: This keeps the fish in a state of confusion as to what they should be doing. The water temperature is still 74 to 75 degrees but should be 77 degrees by now. But the NNE winds keep the cooler water around. Onto the fishing as I saw it last week and through the weekend. Last week started off with a decent pompano bite on live shrimp and fish bites on Monday and Tuesday, but by Wednesday the water dirtied up and it went away — same for the Spanish mackerel; Monday and Tuesday saw a nice bite on small white jigs and small greenies, but by Wednesday, that too went away. The rest of the week was pretty slow with only some small bluefish and jack crevalle caught on artificial and cut bait at the tip on the outgoing tide. Not much to say about the incoming tide, except for a few snook hooked on live baits or lost to the groupers, who will eat anything they can catch, especially snook struggling to escape!
Over the weekend, I saw quite a few schools of finger mullet all around the north jetty and back inside the inlet. That’s a good sign. We need baitfish to attract the predators. Remember, folks, when cast netting baitfish, please only keep what you need, and return the rest to the water unharmed and as quickly as possible! Our resources are NOT forever, plus it is one of the posted jetty fishing rules. Thank you.
Here’s a breakdown by area:
North jetty
Fishing was slow on Saturday, but some fish were caught. Early morning incoming tide, there were a couple slot snook caught on live baits, mojarras and live shrimp. Also, a couple catch-and-release redfish, inlet side of the jetty. Ocean side of the jetty on Saturday early and throughout the day, anglers caught a few pompano and whiting on fresh cut dead shrimp, not a lot, but enough to keep an angler interested. Bluefish and jack crevalles kept things interesting throughout the day on the outgoing tide at the tip. Silver spoons and live baits were doing the trick for them. The monster blues are gone, but the ones they were catching were pretty nice, in the 15 to 18-inch range.
On Sunday, the water clarity improved and so did the bite. Early incoming tide on the inlet side there were several slot sized snook caught, along with again, a couple nice catch and release redfish, all on live baits, shrimp and mojarras. Ocean side throughout the day they caught some really nice pompano, whiting, and I even saw a few nice black drum caught, more towards the tip of the jetty. Live and dead shrimp were the baits of choice. Outgoing tide was all about the blues and jacks on silver spoons, jigs and cut baits. Plenty of action there for those species. At the tip on the outgoing tide, a couple of the guys were catching a few Spanish mackerel and lookdowns on the tiny white jigs. Along the rock shoreline just west of the gate to the jetty, on Sunday I saw a couple fishing in the area, and they caught a couple blues, a few sand perch, one sheepshead about 14 inches long, a black margate AND a couple mangrove snappers about 11 inches!
South jetty
On this side the, the action was slower, due again to the dirtier water from the roughed-up surf and intercoastal runoff flowing out the inlet on the outgoing tide. At the tip, it’s the same cast of characters — black margates, blue runners, catfish, and maybe a pompano or two if some clean water is present. On the surf side of the jetty close to shore in the pocket, I heard of some small flounder still being caught on small live baits and small plastic swim baits. Most are too small to keep, but every once in a while, there’s a keeper. The incoming tide in the late afternoon has produced snook and redfish catches, live baits of shrimp and mojarras are doing the trick on them. Most of the snook have been too small to keep, but some are slots to be kept. Not much else except for the blues and jacks in the channel area on the incoming for those tossing silver spoons and jigs. No mangroves yet on this side.
T-Dock Area
Still slow here. Blame dirtier water and absence of small baitfish that are usually around to attract any predators. No bait, no fish. The incoming tide, if the water is a bit clean, you just might get lucky and find a snook or two hanging around on live baits, but it has been slow. For those tossing silver spoons of jigs to the channel area, there is always the possibility for a jack or two, and maybe some blues.
Surf Area, south side
Cloudy water here. Not much except for a lot of catfish, stingrays and bonnet head sharks being caught. If you find clean water, you might find a few whiting and pompano fishing cut shrimp or sand fleas.
Surf Area, north side
The water has been a lot cleaner than the south, also it is deeper on this side. The pompano bite has been rather good for the last few days with plenty of fish being caught, along with some really nice whiting. Fish the outside trough with sand fleas, fish bites of fresh dead, or small live shrimp. Bluefish and some Spanish mackerel also are possible in the surf for those fishing silver spoons and small jigs and such. Also, with the finger mullet starting to run down the beaches, be on the lookout for possible snook and tarpon action busting up the schools of bait! If seasonal conditions were here — and they are not — there would be small schools of tarpon roaming the surf along the coast. Just something to keep in mind.
That’s all I have for this week! Not too bad, but not what it should be for April. Soon enough, we’ll see warm, clean water show up and STAY! Have a great week. Grab your gear, lunch, drinks and sunblock, and go fishing!

Great Weather & Bite
The weather has been awesome this past week with some chamber of commerce Central Florida conditions. With this great weather has also brought a great bite through out the waters of New Smyrna Brach and Mosquito Lagoon. The clear skies and calm mornings has produced some great sight fishing for redfish, trout and black drum. The pods of bait have moved on to the flats and the fish have followed. Look for the bait pods and the fish will not be far. Plugs, spoons, soft plastics and live bait have all been working well. It looks as though the weather will continue for a bit so the bite should only get better.

Black Drum, Trout, Tarpon…
Black drum continue to chew and are still schooled up. The trout have been eating top water very aggressively too. Offshore, there’s been snapper but they have been a little bit smaller. We are also seeing some large Atlantic red snapper and some large triggers starting to show up. Tarpon are starting to be seen along the beach in a few inside the river.

Saturday @ Headwaters
The S Canal was clear at 1pm today.
Top baits this week for me were the Zman Jackhammers, Chug Bugs and the Mike Bucca 5″ Bull Gill Bone color.
JT and I had a blast fishing together yesterday and filmed an episode of JT Kenney’s Florida Bass for next season. It will be a good one for sure. We caught a bunch of fish on Jackhammers and we landed a giant Florida Trophy catch fish too, which was awesome!
I’m fishing the half ounce green pumpkin or golden shiner Jackhammers in areas with scattered hydrilla and in ditches. I use a 4.5″ Hogfarmer Spunk Shad in green pumpkin magic or TN Shad. Fishing these on flats with scattered hydrilla or along ditches with hydrilla lines.
I’m fishing my Chug Bugs and popping baits around Shad schools along canal edges that have loads of bait or out on sparse hydrilla covered flats.
The Mike Bucca Bullshad 5” Bull Gill in bone color is my go to swimbait. I’m fishing these along thick grass edges near deep sharp drops. Get on the Bullshad email mailing list so you can get the bait drop info. The only way to get the Trick Shad and Glides are go to a bait show that Bullshad attends or through the bait drops. Sign up at Bullshad.com.
The live bait bite was great this week. The fish are moving into deeper water so the deeper canals and pits are my focus areas.
Tight lines!
