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.

Fishing has been steady on the space coast! We're seeing catches of good whiting, bluefish and pompano. Some bigger black drum have showed up and they always make for a great fight. Sharks are present and fun for the whole family! Happy fishing

Redfishing has been great, Sheepshead a close second. There's been some scattered Black Drum and Trout action as well. On the warmer days we've started to see some juvenile Snook and Tarpon even!

Thanks for reaching out. I have been fishing mostly inshore recently. We have been catching a lot of trout, redfish, & blackdrum. Last week I fished in the Mosquito Lagoon and we got into a school of 1000+ large black drum. Hopefully the fishing continues to be good with this warmer weather. Thanks again for reaching out!
It was the largest school I've ever seen. They were everywhere you looked around the boat for over an hour.

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 some pics from several recent inshore trips in the Indian River. Fishing has been good & hopefully we don't have a big fish kill with this hard freeze forecasted for this weekend.

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.

    Richard was great! He was on top of the fish, baiting our poles and getting us unstuck Everytime we got caught on the rocks. He filleted our fish for us and even let my wife listen to her crappy music. Five stars!

    Capt. Neal was FANTASTIC. Our crew consisted of an old lady and two children (age 14 and 12) and our Captain knew all the best spots to catch fish…and where we could make a bathroom pit stop. He was informative and helpful as well as patient and accommodating. Adding to the adventure was the spotted trout we took home to make delicioso FISH TACOS!

    Captain Neal was an excellent guide and fisherman. We were on fish in the first thirty minutes and caught over 2 dozen fish. We absolutely recommend using his service and can’t wait to go back out with him again!

    We had an amazing day with Captain Greg fishing out of Florida! Caught quite a few nice sized snook, and a few other smaller species. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely be back to fish with him.
