Fishing is in full swing in the Mosquito Lagoon with plenty of redfish and trout action. Black drum are still showing, though not as abundantly as earlier in the season. Ladyfish and juvenile tarpon are on the prowl but not always in the same locations and the jacks are soon to arrive. Brevard EditionMay 1st, 2014
The bottom fishing was good if you were able to get out. Plenty of triggerfish were taken. I went out several times and had great luck, we caught several grouper and Red snapper.Brevard - Capt Douglas KaskaMar 25th, 2014
April is kind of that in between month from the cobia run, dolphin run and waiting for the kings to show back up. Don’t get me wrong, there is still cobia around and there has been a few mahi being caught, but the good run is coming up. Brevard - Chris CameronMar 24th, 2014
Most of the winter cold fronts will have passed by now, and large speckled trout will respond by moving into the shallow flats of this lagoon. Their mission is to feed on the abundant schools of mullet that will be congregating there. Grassy flats will hold more fish than barren flats will, so look for the thickest grass you can find and you should find some of these potentially “gator” sized fish. Large topwater plugs like the Rapala Skitterwalk or X-Walk 13 worked near the edges of the mullet schools will create captjimrossMar 24th, 2014
Anglers will still be on the hunt for cobia this month along the near-shore waters outside of the Port. Some decent sized fish came to the docks last month and even though we’re in the last stages of the spring run this month we are expecting to have decent fishing for them as long as the bait pods of pogies, sardines, and greenies remain along this portion of the coast. The average cobia has been in the 25 to 30 pound range which is a great size for light tackle enthusiasts using 15-20 pound class gear. All the usual lucaptjimrossMar 24th, 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
The action in Sebastian Inlet has been good for several months with a lot of pompano, jacks, bluefish and mackerel. The action in the inlet is good with the jacks, reds and snook eating well at night on live bait and jigs. The snook bite on live bait at the jetty has been hit or miss during the day, with some slot size snook caught on shrimp and pinfish. The pompano bite has slowed down but you can still find a few good fish moving through the inlet and along the beaches near the inlet. Bonito and big schools of jacks will be roaming the beaches close to the inlet and provide a lot of fun for anglers.
With more bait in the lagoon and the clean water, the trout and redfish have been easier to target. Black Point, Mullet Creek, Snag Harbor and Hog Point are all good areas to target trout, reds and snook. Look for schools of bait roaming the shorelines and work those areas. Also target the drop offs around the spoil islands and any flats with grass. The topwater action will improve for the species mentioned above as well as jacks and ladyfish also which are fun to catch on light tackle. Brevard - Capt Glyn AustinMar 24th, 2014
Shrimping season is in full swing. The sounds of 5 gallon buckets echo from Titusville to Oak Hill, Florida. Seems Volusia County has been more kind and shows mercy spiting a minimum of 1-2 gallons on any given night. Titusville on the other hand remains moody in February/March and is starting to show some excitement from the Titusville pier all the way to Haulover Canal. Bottom line - when it comes to Brevard County, those crickets are going to run when they feel like it. Brevard - Capt LeenogaMar 24th, 2014
