The weather was downright horrible for much of the first portion of the week with strong north winds and even some rain passing through on Thursday. The bite however was really good which was a complete opposite from the not so good weather conditions.
Canaveral has been the place to go if you’re looking to tussle with a big snook lately. The bite has been best fairly early in the day. Live baitfish or jumbo shrimp seem to be working best. Along the near coastal waters, cobia and tripletail are possible.
Prior to the frontal passage on Monday afternoon the fish were firing off hard! We hope this will continue for the rest of the week, but it remains to be seen at this point
Since the frontal passage, the bite has gotten really good for us here at Fineline Fishing Charters. In the rivers, black drum, small snook, and baby tarpon are the top three species that are pulling drag.
It’s been another good week of fishing here along the Space Coast. This week is basically a repeat of last week for us, except that the winds were crazy on a few of the days we got out.
It’s been another good week of fishing here along the Space Coast. Big redfish and big black drum have been highlighting our anglers’ catches this week.
Tripletail are funny fish, they love to float on the surface sunning themselves or acting like a piece of floating debris to hopefully entice a small baitfish, crab, or shrimp to come seek shelter beneath it. Once the unwary bait comes within range the Tripletail ambushes them.
This past week brought me so much joy. The families that I’ve had out fishing on the lagoons and near-coastal waters have been a blast to be with. To be able to share in their memories is truly a blessing from God.
It’s been a good week for catching tasty fish here on the Space Coast. Tripletail action is back in full force and we’re putting fish on ice regularly. The area from Port Canaveral to Sebastian Inlet has the proper water temperatures to hold these fish again.
The weather has been nothing short of sucky for the past three weeks, but through perseverance and determination we have been finding our customers something to pull on.
“If you want to!”
Red Snapper soon is just around the corner with dates soon to be announced…
Capt. Jim Ross says he catches mangrove snapper like this one with light leaders and small hooks, which will get you more bites on the mangroves than standard bottom tackle.
Beating the storm, hitting that black drum bite!
The black drum bite is still booming in the Lagoon!
