🎣 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!

September is an awesome month for fishing right now since nearly every species is in season, Gag Grouper, Red Snapper, Amberjack, Triggerfish, Vermillion and Lane Snappers, Red Grouper, Spanish and King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, even some Redfish inshore! Some species will close at the end of the month but the fishing in October is still going to be on fire with all but a few species above still open season.

GAG GROUPER FISHING REPORT 🎣

Been waking up and stacking the gags lately! The bite has been producing both daytime and nighttime, with a mix of artificial lures and live bait putting fish in the boat.

During the day, we’ve been working lures around structure and targeting areas holding quality fish. Once the sun goes down, we’ve been switching things up and putting out lively baits, which have been getting some serious attention.

The fish have been chewing, the action has been consistent, and the quality of the gags has made for some awesome trips. Nothing beats watching that rod...

load up and knowing you’ve got a good grouper coming to the boat!

The key has been staying on productive structure, changing up presentations, and being ready when that big bite comes.

The gags are stacking up—time to go bend some rods! 🎣🔥

Captain Troy was fantastic!!!! He got us on tons of fish. First time deep sea fishing and what an experience!!!! All four of us hooked onto mahi mahi at the same time and were so excited!! Dereck, the first mate absolutely worked his tail off keeping bait on all lines and helping us haul in allllll the fish!!!! We caught black fun tuna, mahi, and even a wahoo! Banner day, couldn't have asked for a better fishimg charter. If you dont wanna be disappointed book Capt Troy and the Miller Time boat!!

What an awesome experience. Kevin is fantastic! He knew the water and the fish and we had an amazing experience. Caught snapper, ladyfish, jack, snook, and even pivoted quickly to a lemon shark when we knew one was near by. It was a memorable adventure and I would highly recommend Kevin! Kevin also knew the area well and we went to the Lazy Lobster to have our catch cooked. So much fun! Thank you Kevin!
