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
Last month I mentioned how important it can be to get an early start during summer’s scathing heat. I truly enjoy starting before the first rays of light have a chance to cast a shadow on the water. This early morning pattern is often exciting and the fish aggressive, but it also is relatively very short lived, especially if the water is flat and calm.Brevard EditionAug 25th, 2014
September is typically peak season for our breeding redfish and I’d like to take this opportunity to voice an opinion … Brevard EditionAug 13th, 2014
Hot temperatures and afternoon rains make this 2014 summer no different than any other season. However, the white shrimp are a no show for the most part in Volusia and Flagler CountyBrevard - Capt LeenogaJul 30th, 2014
Well the RED SNAPPER season has come and gone, I hope you all got great catches. I must say I had a blast being able to fish for them and keep a few. The numbers were quite good, in one day I saw several fish in the twenty plus pound range. Well its over for this year but lets hope they will give us longer periods next year. I hope that many were tagged and released.Brevard - Capt Douglas KaskaJul 30th, 2014
August is a fantastic month to fish Sebastian to Melbourne. The bait pods are on the beach and the mullet run should start mid-end of August and bring tarpon, sharks and a number of other species up in the surf all along the space coast beaches and should fire up the trout, reds and snook inshore and in the creeks.Brevard - Capt Glyn AustinJul 30th, 2014
Hope everyone got out to enjoy our privileged American Red Snapper season (what a joke). Everyone I know had their limits quickly and then released many more. But wait, they’re extinct! Politics I guess? Whatever!Brevard - Chris CameronJul 30th, 2014
Mangrove snapper are holding around the rocks and piers within the Ports’ basins. Live pilchards, shrimp, mud minnows or fingerling mullet rigged on a 1/8 to1/2 ounce (depending on water depth of the structure you’re fishing) HookUp style jig head or VMC 1/0 to 2/0 circle hook should get you into the game.captjimrossJul 30th, 2014
Speckled trout will be prowling the flats during the early morning periods. Anglers getting on the water at first light will have the best chance to get one of the larger “gator” trout on a topwater plug. Walk the dog style plugs like the Rapala Skitterwalk are very good choices on most mornings. captjimrossJul 30th, 2014
