An Only Fished One Day This Week Port Canaveral Fishing Report
Blog Posts This Week: When Are Tailing Redfish Best?
We purchased the vehicle I drive new- in 1999. It ain’t so new anymore, pushing 250,000 miles. It hadn’t been in for a check-up in a year and a half. When I brought it in earlier this week the news was not good. I needed a broken motor mount and all my belts replaced, as well as the water pump. Bam! There goes two days and a thousand dollars. It needs more maintenance work, but I can do a lot of it. Maintaining the car is not fun, but my cash flow has not been very good. Either way the piper must be paid to keep the chariot running.
Tuesday’s forecast screamed “BEACH” so George Alan joined me for some Port Canaveral fishing. It was good.
We found a school of menhaden right off the bat. There were tarpon rolling around it. A toss of the net yielded about two dozen baits. A couple minutes later a monster tarpon danced at the end of my line.
It was a brief interlude. My line was not up to the challenge. Shortly after we jumped another. That did not last long either.
Sharks joined the party, not exactly invited. Sharks as a rule do not wait for invites. There were some brutes and they kicked our butts.
George hooked a nice fish. It turned out to be a pushing-thirty-pounds redfish. Then I hooked one too. We ended up getting four of them. See photo above.
Then the sharks just got to be ridiculous. We left the fishy area just to get away from them.
We did not find much else.
On the way in we found another big school of menhaden. George hooked one of the bigger spinner sharks I’ve ever seen. Those always end the same way, with the line parting. On a day loaded with sharks it seemed a fitting ending.
I spent much of another day this week publishing another ebook, this one titled The Ten Best Redfishing Spots in North America. I hope it sells!
And that, my friends, is the Only Fished One Day This Week Port Canaveral Fishing Report. At least it was an awesome day!
Life is great and I love my work!
Life is short- Go Fishing!
