🎣 The fishing was good to very good last week on the Indian and Banana River Lagoons near Melbourne, FL. Snook have been the most consistent bite followed by Mangrove Snappers, Seatrout, Redfish, and even some Sheepshead and Spadefish. There are some Tarpon around as well!

This fishing has been excellent in the Indian and Banana River lagoons around Melbourne, FL. I've been out of commission for a couple weeks with a bad shoulder, but I am ready to get back at it next week. Everything is biting right now Redfish, Tarpon, Snook, Black Drum, Seatrout, Mangrove Snappers, and more! It is one of the best times of the year to fish. I am nearly full for the rest of May, but I have plenty of June dates left. The Snook, Tarpon, and Black Drum bite should be epic in June!

Fishing has been good since the seaweed and wind calmed down. We still have to deal with it here and there but there are more than enough opportunities to wet a line and put some fish in the box. We've been seeing limits of pompano, giant whiting and lots of variety in the surf lately. Give us a ring, fishing is good!

This fishing was good in the Indian and Banana River lagoons around Melbourne, FL for the first half of spring break. We caught just about everything except Tarpon and Snook, which were seeing the effects of spring break and Easter traffic. We had good Redfishing, Black Drum, Seatrout, Mangrove Snappers, and even some smaller Snook though. A week of rain and slowed fishing pressure should light the fishing up in Late April and early May!

Fishing has been really good in the river and the ocean. Had some sailfish action several weeks back along with a bunch of snappers, cobia, black drum, and snook. There was a huge School of black drum that were just outside Port Canaveral for several days. I'm out of town until next week.

    Tuesday, June 16th. We launched at 6am just as the sun was coming up. Valerie recommended we use shiners which were ideal. The bass can't resist. We boated 42 bass in an "extended" 4 hour trip. Valerie said that we fish until all the shiners are gone. She's the best.

    Richard was great! He was on top of the fish, baiting our poles and getting us unstuck Everytime we got caught on the rocks. He filleted our fish for us and even let my wife listen to her crappy music. Five stars!
