Atlantic’s cold water, changes up fishing options

Atlantic’s cold water, changes up fishing options. The bottom temperature  is cold offshore. Every year we get the cold water that comes in for a few weeks. This will change up the fishing instantly. The fishing is pretty slow in general but there is a few different opportunities that happen only when the cold water comes in. Like Catching Cobia off of the Bull Sharks and also off of the Rays out of the Port Canaveral. The smaller Amber Jacks come in to the 90ft. stuff and just take over. Catching them on Medium tackle can be fun.

Inshore- The river is still producing some decent Trout around the Islands and some quiet docks. Early morning with live bait is best chances. There also have been a few decent Snook caught around the docks. The Sebastian Inlet water Temperature has dropped as well. The Snook are really slow. There is and occasional Redfish being caught and a few Jacks.

Offshore-with the cold water on the bottom, fishing is slow. But if you can seem to find the Bull sharks then you might be able to catch a few Cobia. The smaller Amber Jacks are thick as well. So if action is what you want then action and tight lines is what you will get.

I have had some pretty memorable trips the past two weeks. But I love the Cobia action off of the sharks. It is just mayhem when the fish are with the sharks and behind the boat. It was great to see Bill, who just turned 80 hooking up left and right with Cobia and AJ’s. Thank you very much to Bill and everyone else who fished with attitude lately. It is a pleasure fishing with everyone and I am very fortunate to be your guide. Many memorable moments on each trip. Snook season opens next month and I am already booking dates so book yours soon!
