Our summertime live bait trolling has continued to produce fast action from a variety of species with king mackerel being the most dominant. In the mix we are catching nice size cobia, blackfin tuna and some bailer mahi. We are also getting some very nice bonus fish with a few large african pompano and wahoo being caught weekly. The calms seas and great fishing will stay consistent until our first tropical systems shows its face and that is typically late August but with a little luck maybe we will avoid that all together this year.

Toho, Butler Chain and Felsmere have been great places to fish with both shiners and artificial baits shiners are best but artificial will produce if you are diehard on them Bassboat and pontoon boat trips for larger groups or folks with disabilities are available

What's going on anglers! The beginning of March Beach bite has been relatively slow, we're mostly picking away at smaller whiting and more fish like jacks and ladyfish out of the surf. This is a promising sign of spring bait showing up as we transition into the spring weather pattern. Daylight savings will change the fish activity minutely, which helps us target fish from the surf earlier and later in the day.
With our conditions lately I have been staying busy fishing the river with mullet, in spring the fish that went deep out into the ICW or Ocean return to their tributaries to rest and spawn. Tarpon and snook will be moving into the rivers and will become a prominent target from land. Here is a slot snook & tarpon both caught on live mullet 2/0 circle hook and 30# leader. Tight lines!

What is going on people!!! Happy new year to everyone. Here on the beaches of Melbourne we've seen the beginning of our pompano run. Though the fish aren't here in numbers that doesn't mean you can't catch your limit, being at the right place on the right tide is extremely important if this is a goal of yours. We've been catching fish FAR out beyond 100 yards focusing on using live shrimp cut into pieces tipped with Fishgum and clams tied onto bare hooks with magic thread. I'm having most success with lighter leader so don't be afraid to size down if you're not getting bites and if it's dead, move. Tight lines everyone!
