Overview
- Strong, multi-area bite right now: surf, inshore/backwaters, nearshore reefs/wrecks and offshore all producing when conditions allow.
- Water temps are warming (upper 60s–low 70s reported), bait is moving in, and fish are active from the beach out to the wrecks and ledges.

- Nearshore / Reefs & Wrecks: Vermilion (vermilion) snapper, amberjack, grouper and a steady reef/wreck bite. Mangrove snapper and scamp show on structure.
- Offshore / Deep-water: When weather permits, bottom fishing and deep drops are producing tilefish and solid bottom action. Trolling lanes are starting to produce kings in places.

Summer fishing is kicking off with a blast. The peacocks and largemouth are active and hungry. As the water temperatures continue to warm up and as we get more rain, the bite is only going to get better. We’re catching anywhere between 8-20+ fish during our 2hr trip and 20-30+ during our 4hr trips!

The early summer pattern has been producing some incredible action, especially early and late afternoon bites. Most of our fish have been around 2-4 pounds, with some bigger ones mixed in as well. Whether you’re an experienced angler looking to knock peacocks off your bucket list...

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!

    Captain Branden was amazing! Our 14-year-old and his best friend went fishing with him, and both caught Mahi. After catching it, Brandon cooked it up for lunch. They said it was the "best fishing trip" they had ever been on (and they have done a lot). Will definitely book with him again. A great day!

    We had an incredible fishing trip today with Elio! He went above and beyond to make sure my boys had an unforgettable time. From spotting dolphins to catching sharks and landing some absolute monsters, every moment was exciting. One of the highlights was letting my son throw the cast net. He had so much fun bringing in a ton of bait, and Elio made him feel like part of the crew. It was an experience my boys will be talking about for a long time. Elio truly knows how to make a fishing trip fun for the whole family. We would absolutely book another trip with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing day on the water!
