Here's the report (please make it my caption): 🎣 The fishing has been excellent for the last month on the Indian and Banana River Lagoons near Melbourne, FL. We had awesome fishing Redfish, Black Drum, Seatrout, and Mangrove Snappers. We still had a decent sheepshead bite as well.
🧊 The return of colder weather is forecast for the foreseeable future. The cold weather will kick the Redfish and Sheepshead fishing back into high gear. Black Drum and Seatrout will be consistently good as well.

Fishing has been good for literally everything: Redfish, Snook, Seatrout, Black Drum, Mangrove Snappers, Jack's, you name it! Snook season is now open and we have been catching them. We supply large live baits for those who wish to target snook!

Our summertime live bait trolling has continued to produce fast action from a variety of species with king mackerel being the most dominant. In the mix we are catching nice size cobia, blackfin tuna and some bailer mahi. We are also getting some very nice bonus fish with a few large african pompano and wahoo being caught weekly. The calms seas and great fishing will stay consistent until our first tropical systems shows its face and that is typically late August but with a little luck maybe we will avoid that all together this year.

Redfishing has been strong the last few trips, but on hard, cold front days it is definitely more difficult to get them to eat. There are definitely Seatrout and Drum around if you are into it (I am!). Snook, Tarpon, Pompano, and a host of others are right around the corner in April as soon as we have sustained warm weather. April is really booking up, but we do have some dates still available, so don't wait too long!

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!
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!
This was simply one of the best charter experiences I’ve ever had. Capt. Tim went out of his way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. My daughter-in-law, on her first salt water fishing trip, hooked and landed no less than 12 fish. I’m pretty sure the boat landed over 30 fish including Snapper, Trigger Fish, Red Grouper, Spot and Black Drum. Tim was knowledgeable, he’s spent his whole life fishing this area and we never had any doubt that he’d put us on the fish. Jolly, outgoing and professional every step Of the way. We will not hesitate to book again with him the next time we’re in the area! This guy rocks so , book him while you can!
Captain David was great. Super helpful, knowledgeable and quick to help everyone. Got us on fish quick while trying to get us on bigger fish. We all had a great experience
