Pompano have been showing up in the area since we've had our first cold fronts of the winter. We are finding that there are lots of quality fish coming through which makes up for the lack of numbers. As this pattern goes on and with the weather cooperating we're looking at a good season!

What's going on anglers! The beginning of March Beach bite has been relatively slow, we're mostly picking away at smaller whiting and more fish like jacks and ladyfish out of the surf. This is a promising sign of spring bait showing up as we transition into the spring weather pattern. Daylight savings will change the fish activity minutely, which helps us target fish from the surf earlier and later in the day.
With our conditions lately I have been staying busy fishing the river with mullet, in spring the fish that went deep out into the ICW or Ocean return...

With our conditions lately I have been staying busy fishing the river with mullet, in spring the fish that went deep out into the ICW or Ocean return to their tributaries to rest and spawn. Tarpon and snook will be moving into the rivers and will become a prominent target from land. Here is a slot snook & tarpon both caught on live mullet 2/0 circle hook and 30# leader. Tight lines!
Tilapia are starting to spawn in the shallows of our freshwater lakes here in central Florida along with many other fish to shoot such as Florida gar suckers and much more!

What is going on people!!! Happy new year to everyone. Here on the beaches of Melbourne we've seen the beginning of our pompano run. Though the fish aren't here in numbers that doesn't mean you can't catch your limit, being at the right place on the right tide is extremely important if this is a goal of yours. We've been catching fish FAR out beyond 100 yards focusing on using live shrimp cut into pieces tipped with Fishgum and clams tied onto bare hooks with magic thread. I'm having most success with lighter leader so don't be afraid to size...

Captain Tim was all that I expected and more. This was my twin boys first time out on water and I will cherish this one for ever. He put us on fish right away and my boys are”Hooked” Thank You Captain Tim your experience, knowledge and skills were on point. Hope to see you next trip your new friends from Texas last but not least your Boat is super cool.
Such an amazing time with Daniel! The whole process from the time we arrived to the boat until we left was as smooth as can be. On board he was fun, provided us tons of insight and helped us catch some awesome fish! Would highly recommend this charter to anyone!!
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.
I had a great time fishing with Tim! He is very friendly and personable so it was like fishing with an old friend. He is also knowledgeable of the area and was able to put me on the fish I wanted to catch. I’m looking forward to getting back on the water with him next time I’m in the area. Thanks again!
Billy was great. Great communication before we arrived! Put us on fish and had great knowledge of the water! Will definitely book again and would recommend Capt Billy to anyone coming to fish!
Nothing less than an outstanding Captain and guide. Not o Lu did we catch fish, WE CAUGHT FISH. After the trip he filets them, wraps them and then sends you on your way to Marlin’s where they take your fish and cook it to your liking. A+ experience with Tim as well as the choice of dining! When I come back he’s my go to!
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!
