🎣 The Indian and Banana River Lagoons near Melbourne, FL are fishing incredibly well right now! It's grand slam season, and we're seeing Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Black Drum, and Sea Trout, many times even on the same trip! On top of that, there's plenty of mangrove snapper and ladyfish keeping things exciting. The water levels are coming back up and the fish are returning to their preferred habitats of flats, mangroves and docks. It's a great time to fish!

Thanks for checking in! Fishing has been pretty good the past week. We had a really good flounder bite nearshore and we got some nice cobias offshore the other day as well.

🎣 The fishing was good to very good last month on the Indian and Banana River Lagoons near Melbourne, FL. The pattern has stayed the same. Snook have been the most consistent bite followed by Mangrove Snappers, Seatrout, Redfish, and even some Sheepshead. There are some Tarpon around as well. The water is very, very hot right now so the best bite is early on everything. Think sunrise to 0830. Half or 3/4 days are all you need!

    Captain Rick was wonderful! We had a lot of fun and caught a variety of fish. Rick was so flexible, he went above and beyond to adjust our fishing trip to accommodate the weather and give us the best experience we could have. He was knowledgeable, easy to chat with, had our poles ready to go, and lots of bait. We had some extra time so he gave us a tour of the cape. My son had a blast. Definitely plan to fish with Captain Rick again!

    Cody was great. He was fully prepared and ready to go as soon as we pulled in. He had a great spot and we caught a bunch of fish. My son’s 13th bday present and he caught 3 snook. His first time salt water fishing and Cody made it great for him. He was quick, knowledgeable and a great guy. Will for sure book again.

    Trip: Cape Canaveral Inshore/Nearshore

  • ★★★★★
    Our fishing trip out of Port Canaveral with Captain David was absolutely fantastic! Me, my daughter, and fiancé had an amazing time. He had us catching fish from the very first stop. This was my 12 year old daughter’s first boat experience. She loved it. Even with a little wavy action rocking her to sleep a little, she loved it and had a wonderful time. Beyond catching fish, we were treated to some amazing wildlife sightings as well including a manatee, birds, multiple barracuda (I caught one of them), and even a massive 10-foot hammerhead shark that swam right under the boat. Captain David was knowledgeable, friendly, and knew exactly where to put us on the fish. I highly recommend booking a trip with him. We’ll definitely be back!
