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
When it comes to fishing the Mosquito Lagoon this month, the best advice I can give is to get on the water early. Launching before sunup is a good ploy throughout the summer months. This becomes especially important for me from July through September. Except for actually fishing at night the first few hours of the day are our only escape from the seasonal heat. I’m fine with sacrificing a little sleep if it means I can have a shot at the redfish and gator trout while they are still actively feeding.Brevard EditionJun 28th, 2014
Summer is upon us and winter shrimping is merely a topic of reminiscing over a cold beer. Volusia County in Oak Hill is still giving up shrimp albeit mixed sizes, its sobering to see so many boats still on the river chasing. North Brevard and Titusville pier have been torture, frustration and punishing for those trying to compare last years smack down to where they stand in this moment.

As June settles into the Space Coast, it should bring calm winds and the humidity-laden days that lead to afternoon thunderstorms.Capt. AlexJun 1st, 2014
The winds and cold fronts have continued through May and hopefully we will finally get some calm weather like we are used to in June.Brevard - Capt Glyn AustinJun 1st, 2014
It’s tarpon time!!! Get your arms ready and your back in shape, because you’re going to have to do some serious pulling to land one of these giant silver fish.captjimrossJun 1st, 2014
Redfish and trout action continues to be good this month for anglers using live fingerling mullet or Rapala Skitterwalk top water plugs during early morning periods before the water on the flats get too hot.captjimrossJun 1st, 2014
