Fishing has not been that great off the Cape. The thermal cline has set in and the temps from day to day have been drastic. From 68 one day to 76 the very next day. Bait has been hard to locate as well.Brevard - Chris CameronJul 7th, 2013
You did not hear it from me but the brown winter shrimp are large and in charge in South Brevard County. This is the time of year where walking the planks (standing on piers & bridges) is trending in the Melbourne area. The popular Eau Gallie Bridge (US 192), Mather's Bridge, Pineda Causeway and the Bennet Causeway (SR 528 ) are producing some ginormous shrimp in June. Let me caution you, many bridge shrimpers quit early in the night out of frustration just to find out the gates opened up at o' crack tweet producing a full pull of mammoth size shrimp. A bridge full pull is a very rare accomplishment. When do you go to the bridges?Brevard - Capt LeenogaJul 2nd, 2013
July in the Sebastian Inlet area is a month of stable weather and predictable fishing. The light winds of summer allow small boat anglers to get out and fish the mouth of Sebastian Inlet and the near coastal Atlantic on a daily basis. Brevard EditionJul 2nd, 2013
Well let’s talk about the summer coming upon us. The one thing on everyone’s mind is RED SNAPPER. Well the time has come for us to be able catch and keep ONE if you want. It has been a long time since that last open weekend to keep this fine looking fish. I ask that you please help in the study that will be going on to ensure that the season will continue to keep it open.Brevard - Capt Douglas KaskaJul 1st, 2013
he near shore waters should continue to prove a productive place for anglers this month. Live menhaden free lined with a 5/0 to 8/0 circle hook in their nose usually works for tarpon on most days. Attach this to a 60 to 80 pound test Sufix Fluorocarbon leader and 20 to 40 pound test main line and your in business. Drift or slow troll this rig in the 20 to 40-foot depths just off the beach and you should get hook up to a 75 to 150 pound silver king in no time.captjimrossJul 1st, 2013
The bait in both the Indian River Lagoon and the Banana River lagoons are abundant. The gamefish are mixed in with the bait when you find it.Brevard - Capt Glyn AustinJul 1st, 2013
Trout, ladyfish, and small crevalle jack should be following schools of glass minnows in the middle sections of this lagoon. Small spoons, jigs, and lipped diving plugs and other small minnow imitators should work very well for these aggressively feeding fish. captjimrossJul 1st, 2013
Summer time in central Florida is ripe with kayak angling opportunities. Early mornings are still calm and the air is heavy with humidity. Capt. AlexJul 1st, 2013
Full blown summer is here all and low water levels with warm water temperatures are in our future for the next few months. Getting on the water early will undoubtedly be a key factor for anglers serious about fishing the flats.captjimrossJul 1st, 2013
