Lake Monroe, Lake Jessup & Lake Harney Fishing Report: Sept 2014
Water levels are up. Hot days get cooled by afternoon showers. Fish are behaving in their summertime patterns and back to school means the golf courses and fishing holes are less frequented for a few weeks.
Central St John’s River Fishing Report & Forecast: Sept. 2014
We are having record hot weather over here on Florida’s most famous river, and it looks like September will hold more of the same. But not to worry, fish early and late or straight through day for some real good catches of largemouth bass or Bluegill and Bream.
Capt. Rod’s Fall Surf Fishing Forecast
Fall is probably the time when surf anglers can target and catch a wider selection of species from along Florida’s east coast than during any other time of year. Surprisingly, knowing the best methods to catch each of these fish is only a small part of a successful fishing experience.
NSB Surf Fishing Report: Sept. 2014
Well the dog days of summer are slowly coming to a end and to be honest it’s been a great year for fishing here at the beach. In working at End of the line bait shop it gives me a unique opportunity to hear all of the great stories by locals and visitors alike and one thing they have all agreed upon was that this has been one of the best summers for fishing in several years.
Shrimping Report & Forecast: Sept. 2014
It is September already and my ears are still ringing from all the excitement from Daytona Beach to Jacksonville. The summer shrimp emerged out of the mud waking up the spirit that died off from the skunk last season. The shrimp are not impressive in size but are impressive in quantity.

Edgewater & Backcountry Fishing Report: August 2014
Mangrove Snapper are good to target during August in the Edgewater Backcountry, they have been growing all year and many are getting to keeper size of 10” by late summer and into the fall. They are structure oriented fish, hanging around docks, jetties, any underwater rocks, and drop offs in the backwaters.
Central St. Johns River Fishing Report: August 2014
August is no doubt one of the hottest months of the year! That being said, it is important to start out early. The first 3 to 4 hours after sun up are going to be the most productive time during the day. Once it starts getting hot bass will retreat to deeper cooler water and the St. Johns River is a great place to find largemouth bass.
NSB/Daytona Beach Surf Fishing Report: August 2014
We’ll the humidity is back along with the afternoon storms which can only mean one thing here at the beach. Summer is back, and it’s seems as hot as ever already. With the change of seasons so does the change in fishing here. Usually this type of year when it comes to ocean fishing it’s typically pretty simple to predict with just Whiting, catfish, and shark being caught.Read the Current Issue
