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!

Fishing has been good since the seaweed and wind calmed down. We still have to deal with it here and there but there are more than enough opportunities to wet a line and put some fish in the box. We've been seeing limits of pompano, giant whiting and lots of variety in the surf lately. Give us a ring, fishing is good!

This fishing was good in the Indian and Banana River lagoons around Melbourne, FL for the first half of spring break. We caught just about everything except Tarpon and Snook, which were seeing the effects of spring break and Easter traffic. We had good Redfishing, Black Drum, Seatrout, Mangrove Snappers,...

This fishing was good in the Indian and Banana River lagoons around Melbourne, FL for the first half of spring break. We caught just about everything except Tarpon and Snook, which were seeing the effects of spring break and Easter traffic. We had good Redfishing, Black Drum, Seatrout, Mangrove Snappers, and even some smaller Snook though. A week of rain and slowed fishing pressure should light the fishing up in Late April and early May!

Good day everyone! The weather has been fluctuating lately. The Wind and Rain changing daily makes it difficult to know the best time to go out. But, the fishing has been consistent when we do get out the trout bite is really good. Most of them are just undersized, for every 10 undersized you'll catch one keeper. Everyone is waiting on the bait to change to catch the big ones! There are some Reds around but they are few and far between. The Jacks are starting to show up put up a good fight. Don't forget as of April 1st you can't keep trout over 19 in. Good fishing everyone!

Fishing has been really good in the river and the ocean. Had some sailfish action several weeks back along with a bunch of snappers, cobia, black drum, and snook. There was a huge School of black drum that were just outside Port Canaveral for several days. I'm out of town...

The Juvenile Tarpon bite has been good! Jack Crevalle have been available and are fun to fight as well. Black Drum and Mangrove Snappers have provided some table fare for anglers looking to put a few in the fish box. Snook aren't really ready to consistently bite yet, but we've...

The Juvenile Tarpon bite has been good! Jack Crevalle have been available and are fun to fight as well. Black Drum and Mangrove Snappers have provided some table fare for anglers looking to put a few in the fish box. Snook aren't really ready to consistently bite yet, but we've caught a few. Redfishing has slowed due to the quick warm up, but there are still some showing up each trip.
