It’s mid-August as I write this forecast for September. At this time our population of breeding redfish is showing signs of the upcoming spawn. Groups of breeders which hold in predictable geographic locations are migrating towards their spawning grounds.Brevard EditionAug 25th, 2014
Most of you already know our local redfish population is fairly unique as these fish do not migrate to the ocean to spawn. Throughout the red drum’s entire range (Atlantic and Gulf) redfish typically leave the shallow lagoons and backwaters for the coastal ocean waters. Brevard EditionJul 30th, 2014
July’s heat came early this year with some days in the low 90 degree range during June’s first week. This translated into very warm waters in our region. Still, our waters in the North Indian River Lagoon remain, for the most part, clear. I’m hopeful, though not confident; the brown algae blooms of the past few summers may have run its course. While I know the brown algae isn’t completely gone from our lagoon system I’ve only seen a few isolated pockets of the dirty smelly crud so far this season. Brevard EditionJun 28th, 2014
As I write this forecast in mid-April the sun is shining fiercely, the air temp is 82 degrees at 5 PM and the wind is howling! It seems as we are two-thirds of the way to what our spring season weather pattern should be. While we do not yet know what May’s weather pattern will bring rest assured we will catch fish.Brevard EditionMay 1st, 2014
It’s April, gang and I can’t tell you how much I like saying it. I’m asked countless times by my clients throughout the year “when” is the best time to fish in this area.Brevard EditionMar 24th, 2014
We have two months every year when I expect the wind to blow and blow and blow some more; November and March. Every so often we have a year when the expected does not occur and I’m hopeful this March will be kind to us.Brevard EditionFeb 25th, 2014
Winter is certainly here and as I type this forecast in early January the temperature at dawn is hovering around 35 degrees.Brevard EditionFeb 2nd, 2014
Happy New Year all! December gave us good fishing during the first half of the month with almost too good weather. Clients were actually perspiring on a few trips as the mercury climbed in the 80s.Brevard EditionDec 27th, 2013
