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.

High water on the inshore side of things. The water is cooling off. Live shrimp and finger mullets.

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!

    Capt. Neal was FANTASTIC. Our crew consisted of an old lady and two children (age 14 and 12) and our Captain knew all the best spots to catch fish…and where we could make a bathroom pit stop. He was informative and helpful as well as patient and accommodating. Adding to the adventure was the spotted trout we took home to make delicioso FISH TACOS!
