Gator Trout on Topwater
https://youtu.be/b5EJQ30lVFw This week of inshore fishing had a lot of action on topwater lures, but it was also kind of a mess. The first speckled trout I caught ended up slipping out of my hand and landing a few of the treble hooks into my hand while it flailed around. [...]
All About The Tarpon!
Who knew that October would become the new tarpon season here along the Space Coast?!? The tarpon bite is red hot along the beaches and also in our lagoons. Watching 50 to 150 pound class silver kings blasting through mullet pods along the near coastal waters dispatch week has been nothing short of spectacular.
Loads of Sharks this Year!
We had a great week inshore and off the beach. Plenty of bait in the lagoon and quite a bit on the beach. Not as much as we would like to see, but there was some mullet as well as greenies along the beach withe Tarpon, Sharks, Jacks, Mackerel and plenty of ladyfish.
Lively Fishing Scene in the Surf
Active waters made for a lively surf fishing scene here on the Space Coast. The mullet run continues to deliver bubbling surfaces with predatory fish like tarpon, bluefish, ladyfish, jacks and sharks taking full advantage. Each day has brought with it waves of mullet, pilchards and horn bellies sweeping down the beach. This in turn has resulted in varying schools being ambushed at local area beaches with the higher tide proving to be the most successful.
Party Boat Report
On the Ocean Obsession II, we've had no problem putting our customers on "The Meat” this past week. Bottom fishing out of Port Canaveral has been really good, overall.
Full Moon Mania
Fellow anglers, prepare to howl at the moon! It will FULL on Wednesday night and the solunar forecast predicts the month's peak fish activity on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. According to the solunar theory, the best times to fish are:
Dropping Water Temps Boost Bite
Another outstanding week offshore out of the Port! I swear, this is the best time of year! Water temps are dropping and the fish are starting to turn on a little. Still no kings, but plenty of other species like COBIA! We are limiting out every single day with them.
Canaveral Lock Closures
Notice has been given from the Army Corps of Engineers that the Canaveral Lock will have a series of 4 hour closures to support maintenance on Tuesday 19 October through Thursday 21 October 2021. Closures will be 7-11 a.m. and 12-4 p.m. Closures will be based on progress and safety needs.
Tarpon, Drum, Jacks
The tarpon bite continues to remain very good. They're feeding on finger to large-sized mullet, depending on the size of the tarpon.
Beach
after 10 days of regular action the beach has slowed down big time; been north of the inlet; experienced guys say wait for the next cool down and there are more mullet and predators on the way; curious what others think
Headwaters & Garcia
On Headwaters we hit our favorite spot first thing. It’s always a great topwater bite. I'm still throwing my favorite Yo Zuri Prop bait because the bass love to eat it. This special little spot also will gauge how the rest of our day will be for catching fish.
No Kings, but Great Offshore Fishing
Moving offshore, we've come across very few kingfish lately. Hopefully we will see them show back up very soon. This fishery is a staple of our business, and without them, we'd be pretty screwed at times. Fortunately, this week, we've still managed to put fish in the boat.
