🎣 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!

🎣 END OF SUMMER FISHING REPORT — STUART & JENSEN BEACH
St. Lucie River • Indian River Lagoon • St. Lucie Inlet
On the last day of summer, I've got some pretty good news from the water.
The river looks good. There's bait everywhere, we're seeing a lot of fish, and tonight at midnight SNOOK SEASON OPENS!
Anybody looking to eat a fresh Snook dinner?
Well, you've either got to catch one yourself… or know somebody who does. Snook aren't something you're going to walk into the grocery store and buy.
Here in the Indian River Lagoon region, recreational Snook...

Here in the Indian River Lagoon region, recreational Snook harvest opens September 1 and runs through December 14. You can keep one Snook per person, per day, and it has to measure at least 28 inches and no more than 32 inches total length.
Anything smaller or bigger goes back to fight another day.
And remember — that 35-inch monster might make a great picture, but she doesn't make dinner. 📸🎣
🐟 ONE OF MY FAVORITE WAYS TO CATCH SNOOK
Live mullet. I love fishing a live mullet along a seawall during an incoming tide or during the first hour or two of the outgoing tide.
I'll usually throw the cast net and catch a few, then keep them alive in my livewell. A five-gallon bucket with a lid and bubbler works too... And trust me on the lid.
Mullet have an impressive ability to discover freedom the second you're not looking. 😂
Make sure you're fishing stout tackle with a strong leader. A good Snook isn't going to politely swim toward the boat. She's going to smoke the drag and head straight for the nearest dock piling, seawall, mangrove root or underwater obstruction.

🎣 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!
