First tuna trip of the year is in the books for Captain Joey fishing aboard the Sea Trident with Sea Leveler Charters out of Sunrise Marina at Port Canaveral.

March is here and I finally have my first fishing report worth doing in 2024. The last 2 months have just been plagued with rough seas, cold dirty water and mostly very poor fishing.

April is almost here and that means it is tuna time. We are limiting ourselves to 20 trips this season April through July so give us a call to make sure you get scheduled. 321-794-3474.

December is finally here. The only thing you really need to know about this month in 2023 is if the seas are calm enough, go fishing.

October is actually an extremely underrated month for deep sea fishing off the Space Coast. We tend to want to carry on the misery that is September for good reasons but in all reality some of the biggest catches of the year can happen in October.

September is what I like to call a transition month. We have had our first major storm shake things up after 4 months of calm.

We are in the thick and heat of the summer. This means early morning or evening trips are going to be best.

The summer belongs to the kings. This is the time of year to catch live baits such as pogys or thread fins, point the boat east and live bait troll the first structure you get to that has clean water.

Friday and Saturday tuna trips were both successful. Flat calm forecast both days but boy oh boy did that ocean get unexpectedly nasty on Friday.

May is probably the most cooperative month we have for all the species we have to target out of Canaveral. In this report I am going to go through the game plan for a successful trip and what species are hot like a typical report and for those who want to read more, I will lay out some issues and shed a little light on the challenges we face these days with offshore fishing.

Captain Joey aboard the Sea Trident did a little early scouting 2 days ago. Nice board of tuna, mahi and weehoos. Book your tuna trips for April & May now!
