Captain Greg has been fishing the waters of Port Canaveral and the Atlantic for over 30 years. Greg and his team of full time captains at Sea Leveler Sport Fishing Charters fish well over 200 days each per year.

June will launch us into the dog days of summer so it is very important you are going fishing with the right mind set. I’m going to spin this report a little from what options an angler has to be successful to what customers we need to have as captains to be successful. You have to be fishing for the pure fun of fishing.
May is all about having options. With any luck our 4 month stretch of rough seas will subside and we will be able to enjoy everything May has to offer.
April is here and we are one month closer to June. I am starting to believe it will be June before we get calm seas. The struggle has been real here for almost 3 months now. The wind has been relentless and the forecast is looking like April won’t be any different.
The hog snapper came out of his hole, saw his shadow and went back in. I know we all are over this wind and rough seas by now. It really doesn’t even seem like 2022 has even started yet, due to only about 10 combined days to get out deep all year so far.
Ughhh February! This is lining up to be one of those Februaries where cold fronts stack perfectly and keep everyone from venturing out past the shoal most of the month.
The king is happy and hopefully by now you know what that means. Calm December days should be spent slow trolling. The king mackerel are in full force so the action will be fast and furious. Mixed in with the kings will be sailfish, cobia, blackfin tuna, wahoo and mahi so steer the course and end up with a great catch every time.
Stay close and win EVERY time. Keep fishing fun and stay in the calm water to battle red drum or fight with several different variety’s of sharks. Finger mullet & greenies will still be abundant so enjoy some light tackle action from snook, triple tail, pompano, flounder, jack crevalle, sheepshead plus a lot of other species.
Fall colors come to Port Canaveral and Cocoa Beach in the form of red with black dots. Action packed fishing in the pogy pods is just about the best fishing anyone could ever ask for.
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.
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!
