Well it’s SUMMER TIME and the fish are very active. The seas are calming down and the weather is getting warmer. As I am writing this I am having a yellowtail snapper sandwich. Oh so good.Brevard - Capt Douglas KaskaJun 1st, 2015
Summer time has come for central Florida’s kayak anglers. Look for the fishing to be just as hot as those still and muggy mornings!Capt. AlexJun 1st, 2015
If the water clarity remain as good as it was last month anglers should continue to see an increase in the numbers of trout and redfish that take up residence in the Banana River Lagoon this month. Clean, clear water is what allows the sea grass beds to flourish, and in turn the grass is what holds the shrimp, clams, crabs, and small bait fish that larger predators feed upon. Redfish should be found near docks, rocky areas, and mangrove covered shorelines or islands throughout the Newfound Harbor and 1000 island areas. captjimrossJun 1st, 2015
June in the Lagoon; I love the sound of this. Though it’s middle of the year we’ve had to deal with a few weak cold fronts in May and lots-o-wind! At least it’s been a comfortable temperature and the fish have not seemed to mind the blowing all that much.Brevard - Mark WrightJun 1st, 2015
The waters outside of the Port should continue to hold decent numbers of bonito, tarpon, shark, and jack crevalle, plus anglers should see an increase in the number of king mackerel this month. The kings won’t totally abandon the offshore reefs that they have been holding on for the past few months, but we will see a significant increase in the numbers of fish that will start moving into the 20 to 40- foot depths and join the other species that have been here for a while. Anglers will need to start thinking about running wire stinger rigs for the king mackerel. There will be a few fish caught on mono or fluorocarbon “tarpon” style rigs, but the number of cut offs from the mackerel teeth will usually have most anglers switching to wire to avoid this from happening. captjimrossJun 1st, 2015
There is some good news as well as a bit of bad news for this June if fishing the north end of the Indian River is in your plans.Brevard - Mark WrightJun 1st, 2015
Mays’ Surf Fishing was slow with dirty water on many of our Brevard County Beaches. However, I did see good numbers of bait fish caught during the month and that is a good sign that predators are close at hand.Brevard - John DetmerJun 1st, 2015
What a great month we had. Both nearshore and offshore have been providing plenty of action. This month should be pretty much the same. Mahi may be tapering off but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try.Brevard EditionJun 1st, 2015
Shrimping season has ended for those who fought a long war in Volusia County from November to May 2015. Yes, the shrimp are still in the river but the sizes are very small averaging 3 inches with a small percentage above 4 inches. The bait fish are blacking out our lights and the mosquito’s are a nuisance. Brevard - Capt LeenogaJun 1st, 2015
