Beschreibung des Ausflugs

The end of April and this first half of May has been fantastic for inshore fishing in the lagoon. I know nobody likes fish closures but let me just say closures work. Back in September 2022 the FWC closed us on keeping any redfish in the Indian River Lagoon. In the last couple months I have noticed the redfish numbers have sky rocketed. The lagoon has been on fire for us the last few weeks. The spring time is normally excellent this time of year for big gator trout. We've been fishing the mangrove shorelines and spoil islands catching big sea trout, redfish, snook, and jack crevalle. Our redfish numbers are great and we're catching them in the 25" to 32" range, sea trout are coming in around 20" to 28", all sizes of snook, and big schools of large 15 to 20lb jack crevalle. We haven't done much inlet fishing the last few weeks but we also haven't missed much out there. The snook bite has been pretty slow at the inlet lately. That's normal for this time of year though cause now is the time those schools of big Goliath grouper show up at the north jetty. If you're into getting your butt whooped pulling are car off the bottom then that's your fish. The grouper get very aggressive this time of year as far as trying to eat your catch. With that being said I personally suggest upgrading your gear to something a little heavier to try getting your snook in faster so they don't get eaten. I can't thank all my loyal customers enough, y'all are what keep being able to do what I love.

Spring Break Time
Spring Break Time
März 11, 2024
It's coming into spring break time, so we'll have limited spots available. We get booked up pretty quick this time of year. Let's start off with the weather, we'll it's been hit or miss as usual. It's been windy, rainy, and cold most of February. March should be warming up a bit though. When the days are available offshore trips have been very productive. We've had a few nice days in the last couple weeks, so last minute decisions to run out have paid off. The snapper bite has been amazing. Nice sized mangrove and lane snapper, triggerfish, sheepshead, pompano, bluefish, and kingfish, along with an occasional cobia have all been taking the bait. Inshore on the other hand has been hit or miss. The heavy winds have been making the lagoon very dirty. With dirty water makes it almost impossible to site fish anything unless they're active on top. The cold fronts and heavy winds have put a damper on most days but we're managing. The snook bite at the inlet has been tough as well. There's been a solid 10 degree difference in water temps from the ocean side to the river side. One day is hot the next day is not. The inlet has been holding a decent amount of jack crevalle which offer an awesome fight and there has been some occasional monster bluefish around. There's been a good number of blacktip and spinner sharks being caught along the beach and nearshore reefs. When mother nature allows us, we're having good luck on the nearshore reefs catching weakfish and lane snapper. The big manta rays have started to show up outside the inlet and if you're lucky they'll have some cobia tagging along with them looking for an easy meal. Bowfishing has been excellent at night. We've found some solid spots in one of the lakes that offers some fantastic trips. Tons of tilapia everywhere you look, some customers are getting upwards of 300 shots a night. The day trips are ok, but nighttime is where it's at for bowfishing out here.
