This week’s Port Canaveral fishing report-
On Tuesday Scott Radloff and I went to Port Canaveral to do some fishing. In spite of a southwest wind the ocean was a little rough, so after a single toss of the net secured enough mullet for a day’s fishing we just anchored on the north side of the north jetty.
We would not need to move.
The first fish we got were crevalle, fairly small ones, but we ended up getting snook (all shorts, but lots of hookups), redfish in the slot, ladyfish, bluefish- lots of them, mangrove snapper, and a single blacktip shark.
This was the best fish of the day.
I used an egg sinker rig with a 3/0 Daiichi octopus style hook. Scott used a circle hook with several split shot pinched on his leader.
The bluefish aren’t this thick yet, but soon will be.
The bite was pretty steady and there were loads of mullet in the surf.
This week’s Mosquito Lagoon fishing report-
It wasn’t pretty. Thursday I went to Mosquito Lagoon to scout for an upcoming fly trip. We won’t be going to Mosquito Lagoon.
The water was high and I-can’t-see-the-bottom dirty everywhere I looked. I saw one tarpon roll in the Haulover Canal, and a single seatrout that was in the talons of an osprey. There were reasonable numbers of black mullet but I didn’t see any silvers at all. I did not see a redfish and certainly didn’t get any bites.
If I had to go fishing again this week I would head to the beach.
That is this week’s exciting version of the Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report and Port Canaveral Fishing Report.
Life is great and I love my work!
Life is short. Go Fishing!
