🎣 Florida Fishing Reports 🐟 Week of 7-27-2020

🎣 Week of July 27 Sebastian Inlet District 🐟 Gone Fishin’ Part II  "For the latest reports on the action and what's biting at the inlet, call our friend Tommy at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle – 321-768-6621.  He's been there for more than 20 years and NO ONE knows the fishing at the inlet better than him.  And when you make the trip, help support a local business so they're around for years to come. Our featured angler of the week is 11-year old Dierks Broderick Delaney.  He caught this 34-inch Snook on the south side of Sebastian Inlet State Park near the T-dock – his FIRST Snook ever early in the morning on July 7.  Way to go Dierks!  “To date this is the largest fish he has ever caught.  He is super excited and can’t wait to go again.” We understand this fish was safely released and a friendly reminder to all that Snook is catch and release only right now with the season set to open on Sept 1.

🎣 White's Tackle Essential Gear for Fly Fishing the Surf 🐟 Stuart Florida "Increase your success rate by being prepared! David Olson goes over essential gear for fly fishing the surf."

😎 What divers can expect during 48-hour mini-season sprint to bag spiny lobster "Florida’s annual 48-hour sprint for spiny lobsters — the lobster sport season — begins at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. Tens of thousands of lobster lovers will hit the state’s warm coastal waters seeking seafood gold. What kind of conditions will they find once they dip below the waves? Will the weather be calm or will it storm? And the most important question on the minds of divers: Where will the tasty little crustaceans be found in numbers large enough to satisfy bag limits? Calm seas “The good news is,” said Steven Wood, manager of Deep Six Dive & Watersports in Jensen Beach, “the easterly wind we had all last week finally quit blowing. That should allow the shallow waters closer to the beach to clear up.”

🎣 Jacksonville Fishing Report 🐟 It’s tarpon time "In this week’s Jacksonville Fishing Report, read about where to find pogies out of Mayport and the red-hot bite for redfish and trout It’s officially time for bow hunters to take a break from fishing to prepare for the fast approaching archery deer season, even though working in those hot pines and hellish swamps will feel like a stint in prison camp. But with the fishing this good, maybe all that fun can wait another week. Inshore fishing is about as good as it gets in the heat of summer, with a number of big trout and eating-sized flounder being caught. And after dealing with a sassy ocean and shy bait last week, nearshore anglers caught a break this week with the return of pogies and flat seas."

🎣 Fishing Report 🐟 Daytona Beach anglers catching a bit of everything "Local anglers are reporting a real potpourri of fish this week, from flounder to large redfish and everything in between. SURF, PIERS: Gene Lytwyn at The Fishin’ Hole said surf fishing in Volusia County is producing good catches of whiting, along with a few sharks and small pompano. “Some anglers are getting double digit catches of whiting per outing,” he said. Capt. Mike Vickers Jr. (hammockbaitandtackle.com) had much the same report from Flagler County. “The Flagler Beach Pier is seeing a good whiting bite and reports of a king or two off the end of the pier,” he said. “The surf in the Flagler Beach area is producing mainly good sized whiting and sharks.”"

🎣 South Florida Weekly Fishing Report 🐟 Palm Beach Post July 30, 2020 "Along the beaches in the Jensen/Stuart areas there has been good action for whiting and croaker. Using either sand fleas or sand flea- or green crab-flavored Fishbites in the first trough has been producing good results. Though not huge numbers there have been some pompano caught along the beaches in the first trough as well. They are being taken mostly on sand flea-flavored Fishbites. At the St. Lucie Inlet there has been a good bite for snook using live pilchards. Though working the beach in the Jupiter area has been a bit difficult with all the sargassum recently, for those willing to try there are plenty of snook cruising along the shoreline. Swimbaits like an Assassin, worked in the first trough have been producing good results. Anglers fishing both inside and outside the jetties at the Lake Worth Inlet are catching snook, tarpon and jack crevalle. Working along the rocks, the snook are being caught using D.O.A. CALs. Though the bite there has been good, divers in the area have reported large numbers of them outside of the inlet in 30 to 60 feet of water. The jacks have been hitting on small live greenies and on topwater plugs like Rapala Skitter Walks. Though much of the bait that had been prevalent in the area three or four weeks ago has moved north to Juno Beach and beyond, the approaching storm should stir things up and get some of that moving back into the central part of coastal Palm Beach County and could even drive some bait up from the keys."

🎣 July 31 fishing report from Byron Stout 🐟 "With some 16,000 lobster permit holders from Southwest Florida vacationing in the Florida Keys, there should be plenty of elbow room on local waters. Plenty of fish biting, too. Amberjack season reopens on Saturday, and as of Thursday the National Weather Service predicts weekend morning winds of only 5 to 10 knots offshore, with this caveat. “Mariners planning extended trips should monitor forecasts and warnings from the National Hurricane Center, as Tropical Storm Isaias could impact the area this weekend. The crappie are biting on Lake Trafford in Immokalee, and the lake level finally has risen about six inches, making launching possible for craft up to small-bass-boat size.”

🎣 St Augustine FISHING REPORT 🐟 Isaias scrubs weekend fishing "Offshore trolling continues to be a sucker’s bet. But the bottom fishing is hot with good numbers of vermillion, mutton and mangrove snapper being caught. There are still big amberjack out there and a good number of sharks. The local reefs and wrecks inside 10 miles are tough to fish because of the similarly ubiquitous red snapper. Trolling for kingfish has slowed, which is normally the case as August nears. Sharks, on the other hand, are... well hate to say it, but ubiquitous as well. Captain Guy Spear had two kingfish on ice and gave up six to sharks. They also ate a legal-sized cobia at the boat, adding insult to injury. If you really want to find them, slow-troll the middle ground around Nine-Mile. There are plenty of pogy pods up around Serenata, and heading north. Tarpon are thinning out at the mouths of both the St. Augustine and Matanzas Inlets. Some big ones are being chummed up around the Bridge of Lions. Surf fishing is summertime slow now. There are a few reports of bull whiting scattered in the surf, but none of the reports included any real numbers. The county pier is still giving up ribbonfish, but not much else. The report from the Flagler County pier includes redfish, trout, flounder, sheepshead, undersized pompano, and whiting."

🎣 Juno Bait Weekend Fishing Outlook 🐟 (7/31-8/2/2020)  "SURF/PIER Snook fishing has been good along the beach; but conditions this weekend will make that shall we say a little rough. The Juno Beach Pier snook bite could go off this weekend depending on how the storm comes by.  Snook bite could go off on jigs and swimbaits.  The Spanish Mackerel bite has been good this week.  Freelining small live baits or the bobber rig have been the way to go for the Macs."

🎣 FLORIDA TODAY fishing report 🐟 Lobster mini-season closes; Redfish are schooling in the north "The grass came and the grass left. Thank goodness. Sargassum seaweed can just ruin surf fishing plans. The super low tides and wind shift can be credited for helping out. Anglers will be able to catch (and release) snook, croaker, whiting and maybe even a few pompano casting from the sand bar. The low tide has made it so anglers can walk out to some of the sand bars." Although another article states (dated July 27, 2020) "Washed-up Sargassum seaweed sometimes wreaks havoc and reeks; expect it for next several weeks" 

We ran into heavy Sargassum last weekend at Patrick Air Base 2nd Light Beach, up into Cape Canaveral, but the salad thinned travelling north by New Smyrna Beach.

🐟 Fishing Report 🎣 White's Tackle 4-13-2020   

"Good Morning, Offshore over the weekend a few boats go out with the wind the dolphin bite was good with both live and dead bait in 120 to 150ft with a few nice blackfins mixed in. The snapper bite should pick up as soon as the wind calms down a little there has been some nice mangroves around. The Spanish mackerel have been around in the Vero cove with a few cobia mixed in. Inshore the snook bite has been good with live bait in the inlet and on the flats with a few big reds mixed in. The snapper bite around the bridges has been good with a few nice flounder mixed in."

🐟 Fishing Report 🎣 White's Tackle 4-15-2020  

"With the recent warm weather fishing in the IRL has continued to be good, with numbers and size available for those targeting Snook, with live Pilchards doing most of the business on the larger fish. Redfish are also around in good numbers, taking soft plastics as usual, as well as bait."

🐟 South Florida Weekly Fishing Report 🎣 April 16, 2020   

"Anglers getting out on the water off of the Jensen Beach area have reported catching a few cobia while working the boils off of the powerplant. The blackfin tuna bite has been good off of Jensen as well the past few days. Trolling squid chains has been working."

🐟 Fishing Report 🎣 Anglers catching keepers in all areas  

"Anglers are not social distancing with fish. There are strong catches in every area. SURF, PIERS: The pompano catch spiked in recent days, according to a post by Roy Mattson (royssurffishing.com). “Lots of pompano on the beaches Volusia and Brevard,” he reported. Other surf staples included whiting and bluefish."

🐟 Jacksonville Fishing Report 🎣 Spring feeding continues 

"In this week's Jacksonville fishing report, Sheepshead are biting and the Cobia remain south of St. Augustine."

🐟 FISHING REPORT 🎣 Crappy weather yields surprises  

 "St Johns and area lakes: Fishing on the river was surprisingly robust this week. Some of the bait shops report they’re the busiest they’ve ever been: Something about the kids driving customers crazy at home. And from most report it looks like the panfish bite is enough to roust anglers out, if even for a couple of hours between the rains.
The bluegill and shellcracker bite remains excellent all over the area. There’s bedding activity spread out across the area, but even without that concentration, the catches have been surprisingly good.
Crickets are the top selling bait, with wigglers right behind. Those who can mark bream beds with bottom sonar — especially side-imaging units — are on the money. Others are drifting with the winds through likely areas and anchoring when they get some bites."

Boat ramps in Port St. Lucie to re-open April 17 after being closed for three weeks 

"Boaters in Port St. Lucie received good news Thursday afternoon. City of Port St. Lucie-managed boat ramps will be re-opening beginning at 8 a.m. April 17.
The city announced it would close all four of its boat ramps on March 24. A city spokesperson said leaders made the decision after receiving complaints from the prior weekend of boaters not observing social distancing guidelines. Since the closure, Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order mandating boats remain 50 feet apart and have fewer than 10 passengers on board."

🐟 FLORIDA TODAY 🎣 Fishing Report: Dolphin delight bluewater anglers; Trout fishing is improving   

"April on the Space Coast typically means it's time for locals to get their beaches, roads and restaurants back. It means warmer temperatures, light rains and proms for our teens. But this isn't a typical April. Far from it. Fortunately, for all the ways the virus has changed our daily lives, it has not changed fishing patterns. This week was certainly an indication that fishing can provide some normalcy for our strange days. Surf: Melbourne Beach has produced good catches of pompano and whiting for anglers fishing during the incoming tide. Use Fishbites or clam strips for the best action. Anglers fishing with diamond jigs or chrome spoons can catch bluefish and Spanish mackerel which are migrating north the next few weeks."

🐟 Juno Bait 🎣 Fishing Report Weekend Fishing Outlook (4/17-4/19/20) 

  "INSHORE-  Snook fishing remains pretty good right now.  As is the case with most things fishing in our area, access remains the biggest challenge.  The snook are biting at night around the bridges.  Flair Hawk jigs, SpoolTek Swimbaits, and shrimp jigs are all catching the snook pretty good right now.  Also hearing some pretty good tarpon reports around the bridges as well. 
SURF/PIER-  Limited access continues to keep the surf reports to a minimum.  A few scattered reports of pompano, bluefish, and jacks coming in.  Without secluded beach access or a boat it's pretty much a no go these days....On the positive side, when things open up it should be really good!"

April 17 🐟 fishing report 🎣 from Byron Stout Breezes in the little-too-brisk category have kept lots of folk tied to the dock over the past week.  

""Anybody who can cast can catch a redfish right now. The (blankety) things are getting in the way of catching snook," reports St. James City Capt. George Grosselfinger, who somehow managed five snook between all the 30-inch reds he released Wednesday in northern Pine Island Sound. He also caught five snook among six reds Saturday, north of Regla Island."

Fishing Reports Florida's East Coast Week of 4-3-2020

🎣 White's Tackle Fishing Report 🐟 3-30-2020 "With the boat ramps being closed this weekend in Martin County we didn’t hear too many reports. If the fishing keeps following the trend it was on last week it should turn out for a great week of fishing. The Cobia fishing has been good out of Stuart with a few nice kingfish mixed in. Out of Ft. Pierce there were a few nice Wahoo caught in 250-300ft. The Mahi fishing has been a little slow but hopefully as we get further into April we get a big push of gaffers."

🎣 Fishing Report 🐟 White's Tackle 4-1-2020  "Good morning everyone. We have some changes coming due to the Coronavirus situation. We will be open as normal thru Friday April 3rd, and be closed Saturday April 4th and Sunday April 5th. We will reopen on the afternoon of Monday April 6th for phone ahead orders only in all three stores for the foreseeable future. We intend to maintain all services and capabilities, but with limited contact with customers for your safety and ours.
On the fishing front, there are still quite a few quality Snook around in the Indian River. Due to relatively clear, calm conditions, most of the larger fish have been taken on live bait. There are also good numbers of Redfish and Seatrout taking soft plastics such as the DOA CAL paddle tails and flies such as the Shrimp Tease."

🎣 Daytona Beach News Journal Fishing Report 🐟: Offshore, Halifax, inlet rocking "Before the cold front rolled through the area Tuesday and Wednesday, the fishing was solid in unseasonably warm weather. SURF, PIERS: Gene Lytwyn, from The Fishin’ Hole, filed this report from the coastline. “Surf fishing is still hopping with pompano, whiting and bluefish biting up a storm,” he said. “We’re still hearing about a few big blues.” At the Sunglow Pier anglers were enjoying a steady catch of bluefish, whiting and a pompano here and there"

🎣 South Florida Weekly Fishing Report Palm Beach Post 🐟 - April 2, 2020 "Inshore fishing: Though the beaches in Martin and St. Lucie County remain closed the pompano bite is still really good. If you’re lucky enough to have legal access, Fishbites and sandfleas are working well. There has also been a nice uptick in the whiting and croaker bite along the beaches.
If you’re looking for pompano, but don’t have legal beach access, there has been a bite for them at the Stuart and Jensen causeways. Use either Doc’s Goofy Jigs or GSL High Jinx Pompano Jigs. Anglers working a few of the bridges at night are finding excellent snook action. Fishing the Roosevelt and Stuart causeways with live shrimp or mullet has producing good results."

Let's call it the first weekend of our New World Order."

🎣 Jacksonville 🐟 Fishing Report: Despite stay-at-home order, the boat ramps remain open "Even though Floridians are under a stay-at-home order by Gov. Ron DeSantis to help slow the spread of the coronavirus, Jacksonville’s boat ramps remain open. Fishing remains highly productive as the transition into spring unfolds in our local waters.
Fish are driven by the need to eat and reproduce, and both activities have attracted a diverse migration of game fish. Big black drum are arriving in the inlet - and the sheepshead are still eating well after spawning - and the baitfish returning to Mayport have dragged in a motley crew of predators, like big bluefish, Spanish mackerel, jack crevalle and ladyfish. Capt. Dave Sipler said he caught some nice big redfish at the rocks and that the whiting bite has been wide open. He’s catching quantity and quality, with many of the bull whiting topping 15 inches."

🐟 Juno Bait Fishing Report 🎣 4-2-2020 Weekend Fishing Outlook (4/3-4/5/2020) "INSHORE- Snook fishing remains very good inshore right now.  The snook are definitely  getting ready to move to the inlet.  Bridges close to the inlet remain a excellent choice for the snook.  Other inshore reports are a bit slow (NO doubt in part to extremely limited access currently).
SURF/PIER- Well...Can't really write anything here.  Let's just hope when we can get back on the beach and pier the fishing is on fire!"

🎣 April 2020 🐟: Kayak Fishing Forecast "In the greater South Florida area: Things will remain fantastically strong in the South Florida region. The Everglades to the Keys, the opportunities exist for nearly everything that swims in the Atlantic or Gulf waters.    Great action will be had for the deepwater guys and gals who want to try their hand at some really big offshore species.    The inshore game only gets better with redfish, trout, snook and tarpon lighting it up in the shallows."

🎣Tom Van Horn🐟: April 2020 Indian River Lagoon Coastal Fishing Forecast "As I set down to write my April  fishing forecast, I like many of you am landlocked by these troubling times.  Dreaming about fishing is currently the extent of my fishing adventures, dreaming of the day I return to the sea with friends and family.  Until then, I will share my forecast with you  so we can travel together into our imaginations to a place where  the fish are happy, hungry and stupid.  I’m thankful to all of  you, my friend, family and past clients who have shared time on the water with me over the past 20 years.    I will also share in my gallery some of the fish caught in April aboard Three Quarter Time.  Until our next adventure, stay safe.

🎣 Freshwater fishing 🐟 Newschief: Panfish bite around Polk is still hot
 "At Lake Kissimmee, bass are biting hollow body frogs early around lines of lily pads or areas with mixed pads and grass. Later on, switch to flipping heavier cover with a bait such as a Bass Gorillas’ Jungle Menace creature bait. The bluegill and shellcracker bite has been “hot” around the 27-Palms and the Polluted Waters. Philadelphia Point has also been good, reports Metheney"

🎣 Fishing News Chief 🐟 still allowed under stay-at-home order "Many of the boat ramps throughout the state remained open to the public as of Wednesday, and users were urged to engage in social distancing. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will update their “Florida Public Boat Ramp Finder” page -- https://bit.ly/39xzqWU -- every 24 hours with information regarding boat ramp status. Information specific to each county can be found under the special comments section. The FWC said if the comment box is blank, this means the ramp is open. The FWC recommends checking with each local government on boat ramp status as well as local emergency orders. The FWC said last week there are no new restrictions on fishing tournaments around the state, and no permit is needed to hold a tournament under existing bag and length limits."

Fishing Reports Florida's East Coast Week of 3-27-2020

🎣 Daytona Beach News Journal Fishing Report: Huge black drum being caught in river 3-25-2020

"SURF, PIERS: As long as Volusia County beaches stay open, fishermen will continue to work those waters along the shoreline. Gene Lytwyn at The Fishin’ Hole said the water is fine for fishing. “Our unprecedented streak of warm weather has escalated fishing to new heights,” he said. “Surf and ocean pier fishermen have tangled with some line-stretching large bluefish.”
In addition to blues, anglers have been catching a wide variety of fish including whiting, pompano, Spanish mackerel and one cobia. The Flagler Beach Pier is closed because of the coronavirus outbreak. There is an extremely limited area to fish from the Daytona Beach Pier. The Sunglow Pier in Daytona Beach Shores remains open to the public."


🎣 South Florida Weekly Fishing Report - March 26, 2020

"Inshore fishing:
Though the beaches in Martin and St. Lucie County are closed to the public right now, the pompano bite has been excellent. They are being taken using Fishbites combined with sandfleas, shrimp or clams. If you’re an angler, live on the beach and like pompano you’re pretty happy right now.
At the Roosevelt Causeway there has been a really good snook bite at night. They are being caught on smaller profile baits like shrimp or swimbaits like a 3″ No Live Bait Needed. Also, from the bridges there has been a decent redfish bite. Live shrimp are working best.
Along the beaches in the Palm Beach area, there have been some good-size tarpon. Also along the beaches, and inside the Lake Worth Inlet, have been a few monster jack crevalle up to 40 pounds. At the Lantana Bridge there has been good action on sand perch and Spanish mackerel. The sand perch are being caught on peeled shrimp and the Spanish mackerel are being taken using small spoons and GOT-CHA lures."


🎣 3-24-2020 Coronavirus Florida: Manatee closing public boat ramps, to offer drive-thru testing

 "Manatee County boat ramps will be closed to the public to help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, it was announced at an emergency meeting held by the Board of County Commissioners Tuesday morning. The closures will begin 6 a.m. Thursday.
The announcement comes after both Manatee and Sarasota counties decided to shut down public beaches last week. But despite beach closings, boaters could be seen congregating over the weekend at places like Beer Can Beach, a northern extension of Longboat Key that was once known as Beer Can Island but is now patrolled as a preserve by the city of Longboat Key."


🎣 City of New Smyrna Beach

Public boat ramps are closed effective Friday, Mar. 27 through Apr. 14, with an exception for commercial fishing vessels to use only the eastern ramps on North Causeway.  "Public boat ramps are closed effective Friday, Mar. 27 through Apr. 14, with an exception for commercial fishing vessels to use only the eastern ramps on North Causeway.
Should the Volusia County Council approve closing beaches, City Manager Khalid Resheidat is now authorized to close city-owned off-beach parking lots with immediate effect."

🎣 Fishing Report White's Tackle 3-25-2020

"While the beaches are closed along the Treasure Coast, the boat ramps remain largely open. Offshore has been a bit slow, but there has been some decent Kingfish and Dolphin fishing, and Cobia are beginning to show up to the north as well. Fort Pierce Inlet has been a bit tough for Snook unless you are using live bait, due to very clear water conditions, Sebastian has been closed as with all state parks."

🎣 FISHING REPORT | On the water, give it some space  

"Surf fishing seems to be hit-and-miss. The pompano should be here in good numbers. I know I fished for three hours around the low tide Wednesday and never had a bump from anything. I mean zero. Still there remain some reports of good catches of pompano, though smallish versions. That’s good news because it should mean the main body of the fish is still heading this way from the south."

"In this week’s Jacksonville Fishing Report, the sheepshead are still biting and the spring fishing is starting off strong. Here’s the good news: The fishing is phenomenal, with our winter bite of sheepshead and sea bass ending on a fine note and our spring fishing of Spanish mackerel, big black drum and redfish starting strong."

🐟🎣 "Surf fishermen have been getting the most consistent catches in the last week.
SURF, PIERS: Gene Lytwyn at The Fishin’ Hole in downtown Daytona Beach, said surf fishing has been king as far the catch this week. “Surf fishing has maintained its dominance,” he said. “Anglers are coming up with good catches of larger whiting a slightly increased number of pompano and a few bluefish,” he said. “The ocean piers have followed suit, with the addition of a few large sheepshead.” Roy Mattson (royssurffishing.com) filed this report from the field. “Now with the warm weather the pompano are feeding with lots of nice size whiting and weakfish in the surf,” he said." more... stated on News Journal Online Daytona

"Can you feel it? That's right, someone turned off the fan.
It seems as if every weekend in 2020 so far, anglers have endured a blow out. High winds High surf. High seas. even gale force warnings a couple of weeks ago.
Well maybe the lion of March is leaving and the lamb is on its way. Couldn't happen soon enough.

Still a bit rough for surf fishing in Canaveral National Seashore, Playalinda Beach. The weather is surely not cooperating these past weekends but we found a spot to fish today across the road at Eddy Creek Boat Launch. 

We caught Saltwater Catfish, Redfish, Sea Robin, and it turned into a Pufferfish kind of day. Last weekend there were many schools of mullet, trout, and tarpon. This week, Puffer fish lol.
