Summerime is here and bit can we tell. The ovean had been nice and calm and overall the fishing has been pretty good. This time of year we are live bait slow teolling along the reefs and wrecks on our offshore trips and the shark fishing nearshore stays active. Some Of the nearshore trips we also have been live bait trolling as well catvhing some kingfish, barracuda, big jacks and bonito. Book a trip today we are filling the schedule fast!

Fall time fishing off canaveral
Fall time fishing off canaveral
Okt 22, 2022 Port Canaveral
This time of year always seems to be inconsistent with the weather pattern. So far itโ€™s been fairly nice this fall season. Nearshore trips are pretty popular for itโ€™s usually calm enough to fish them and there is massive amounts of bait moving thru near coastal this time of year. Sharks, snook, redfish are some of the top three bigger fish we see but the smaller rods and trolling techniques often work well for whiting, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, black drum, flounder and pompano mixed in as well. As for offshore if the weather lets us get out usually the reef if lively making for good action and some tasty table fair. Keeping it closer fishing the 80โ€™ reef we see a good bite of triggerfish, mangrove snapper, lane snapper, vermillion snapper, mutton snapper, grunts and of coarse red snapper. Most of these fish are on the smaller side this time of year but we do see the occasional cobia and kingfish as well. If we push out deeper the same type of fishing will apply targeting triggerfish, large vermilion snapper, and red porgy with the chance as a grouper and amberjack as well.

Feb 26, 2022 Port Canaveral
This second half of February has been some of the best shark fishinh ive seen in a while. Lot of high winds and rough seas have jept us from going offshore and on thw calmer days its been a grind offshore to catch much. But the nearshore fishing has been very good to make up for it. The large blacktip and spinner sharks are migrating thru right now And some days were losing count on how many hook ups we have. Coming into march we should start seeing cobia show up along the coast too. the best Cobia fishing is just being there the day they show up. They come and go very fast anymore. Hooing to see some nice weather for march so we can get back offshore steady and bring in some awesome catches

February fishing report
February fishing report
Feb 7, 2022 Port Canaveral
February fishing is as unpredictable as is comes. The nearshore bite tends to be the most active and the most achievable due to multiple cold fronts that push thru this time of year. We tend to have a lot of variety of bait fish that move thru just off the beaches that attract several species of sharks, redfish, Spanish mackerel, blue fish and pompano. But with the weather always changing it makes every trip a different day. Some days we will be fishing inside the port as the cold fronts tend to push push into the deeper waters. The light tackle rods are usually very active this time of year which are great for young kids to play with while the big baits can soak in hopes of something big. The full set of roll down windows makes it actually very comfortable on the colder breezy days. Any other questions feel free to reach out and we can help in anyway we can
