🎣 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!

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!

    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!
