Sheepshead bite has been on fire. A few permit and pompano in the mix as well. There's cold water on the bottom in 50+ so staying on the beach has been key. Inshore, not much to talk about until the water warms up. The temp today was 65 in the river, with a few snook starting to chew again

The fishing has been good to excellent on the Indian and Banana River Lagoons near Melbourne, FL. What I mean by that is, we have had very cold weather, especially in the mornings and on the back side of cold fronts. The cold weather slows the bite way down. On warmer, sunnier days, and especially in the afternoon, fishing can be excellent. It looks like our little section of the lagoons from Cocoa Beach to Grant has been mostly (but not all, some tarpon and snook died in shallow sections) spared from the fish kill 🙏.

Sheepshead fishing has been the most consistent, with Redfish a close second on the cold days. Black Drum, Seatrout, and Mangrove Snappers are also around in the warmer days.

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.

Average 2-4' seas. Bait has been hard to find/catch. Our new Contender with the Sea Keeper ride makes for a great cruise experience offshore.
Big Black fin tuna bite has been consistent with several days of lighter current, allowing for deep water bottom fishing for the Vermillion snapper, with surprise Grouper catches mixed in.

    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!

  • ★★★★★
    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!

    Chad and JJ were both great. We had a slow day of fishing but JJ busted his butt trying to keep us on the fish. We hooked two sailfish which made the whole trip worth it! Boat was very nice too!
