Lots Going On!
The space coast has a lot going on! This week has been great fishing, from redfish and black drum in the river to snook along the beach, the bite has been pretty good!
Thick Pogie Pods
Pogie pods have been thick on the beach. Along with the pogies there have been lots of tarpon, redfish, jacks and sharks.
Red Snapper Limits $$$
What a fantastic ocean we have had lately. Red snapper were an absolute hit with limits caught daily. They ate honestly everything you put in front of them. Live bait and all types of frozen baits.
Great Week Offshore and Inshore
Fishing for slot size redfish and small tarpon continues to be productive in the Indian River Lagoon area near North Merritt Island. For the reds, try sight fishing in a foot of water with something that doesn't make a loud plop such as a frozen shrimp during the middle of the day.
Dolphin Down South
Hello Fish Fans, down in Stuart, the dolphin bite's been excellent for those of us that fish the deeper waters of the Gulf Stream. We've had one banner day in 650' of water, but most days we've been over a thousand.
One Weekend Down…
The first open weekend of the Atlantic red snapper season is in the books and it was a really good one for us here at Fineline Fishing Charters. We ran charters out of Port Canaveral each day and got our customers their limit on each trip.
Better Bite in Mosquito Lagoon
How can I NOT start this report out with red snapper? I got an 18.5 lb red snapper on Friday and we limited out on Sunday. Ended up with 4 bigguns!
Nice, Joey!
It was an epic week of fishing for Joey Antonelli of H2O Vinyl Designs. He crushed snook and tarpon from the beach. He also finished the week strong with red snapper and a mixed bag from offshore.
Passing on Snapper
Another Great week in Sebastian and Vero this week with a lot of action from small sharks, jacks, snook Redfish, Cobia Cudas and plenty of other species. While this week was the opening of Red Snapper season, we decided to stay inshore and skip the snapper frenzy.
Fishing, Teaching, Catching
I don't know how the rest of you feel, but I'm ready for the temperature to cool down a bit! With the exception of the first two or three hours of daylight it's been too hot for man and beast alike.
Awesome Trip to Mosquito Lagoon
We started our 3 day weekend early Saturday morning after driving from Fort Lauderdale, grabbing Jerry's boat from a storage unit in an industrial complex in the middle of nowhere, getting to Mosquito Lagoon Fish Camp, unpacking quickly, loading the boat, and launching boat!
Redfish in the IRL
This week's dryness and east winds have started to clean the water a bit, but the visibility still isn't great. However, redfish have been feeding in the North Merritt Island area. Most of the fish have been 20-25 inches, but there's been a few around 30 inches.
