The weather was perfect, no winds or clouds. We met at the Inlet Marina. Leslie, Charlie, and John have been out with me a few times before. Being Phillie fans, they usually fish with me around spring training.  We started off in the flats and they were catching Trout, ladyfish, and small Jacks. The weather was so calm that we went out into the ocean. There was action everywhere. Greenie pods and glass minnow pods were thick. There were a lot of Spanish Mackerel and Bonita feeding on the pods. Charlie and John caught there share of Spanish. We were running and gunning. Charlie got hooked up with a nice Bonita. John doubled up as well. The fish were crossing each other and Johns line got cut. Charlie did a great job at fighting the Bonita on 10lb. test. We also spotted a large school of BIG Jacks! John got hooked up on one and quickly learned the power of a horse Jack. Well, lets just say I think next time he will know to keep his rod up! It was fun while it lasted though. Thanks again Leslie, Charlie, and John for the great trip. You guys are always fun to fish with.

Eric and his son David are from Michigan and have two homes here in Florida. The weather was a little windy. We met up at the Inlet Marina. We started fishing just outside the inlet for Bluefish. A hook up with every cast. They were decent size Blues. They had with those on light tackle. The tide was switching to incoming, so we switched to try for Flounder.  They weren’t biting on the beginning of the incoming. David caught a keeper jigging in the back. The Spanish were moving through and they caught a few of them, Ladyfish were in the mix as well.  We finished the day trying for Pompano on the flats, no luck. Still a little warm. We did catch a few Jacks though. It was a good day with a lot of action. No big trophy fish but a lot of non stop action. Thanks Eric and David it was a pleasure fishing and getting to meet you. Tightlines til next time!!

Jason and Justin from Kentucky on the last day of there vacation. The weather was perfect. Light west wind. Seas 1-2ft. We headed out from the Inlet Marina at 7 a.m. The tide was incoming in Sebastian Inlet on the way out. Threadfins and Spanish Sardines are on the beaches near the inlet. We picked a few up and headed to the north. We fished a few spots in 60ft. and  caught a Cobia that was just short and a few Seabass. While we were running around we came across some schools of BIG JACKS!!! Jason and Justin each caught a one. Biggest was Justin 28lbs. and other was Jason 21lbs. I didn’t think that big one was ever gonna stop running. We also caught some Spanish Mackerel that were in a feeding frenzy.

We headed out to the 90ft. stuff and moved around a few times catching seabass. There was no current and we were just drifting. On the last spot we got into the Red Snapper. I wish we could of kept them. Jason and Justin ended up catching 6 and we left them biting. Only one getting a fresh  Snapper dinner today is the big Bull shark that came up and fed on one of Justin’s fish. That is always kind of cool to see. Well that was a great day of fishing, lots of action. Thanks again Jason and Justin for both trips. I’ll see you in a month ,maybe?

Dave , Bryan and Alyce are from Canada. They come down every year and stay in Melbourne, Beach. The winds were calm first thing at 6 a.m. By the time I got the boat in the water, the winds were already blowing steady. They switched and started to blow out of the N.E. We Started off drifting the flat behind the inlet. Dave and Bryan were catching Ladyfish on almost every cast.

The ocean was rough, we slowly worked our way up the beach. There were Kingfish sky rocketing, we caught a few croakers and few blue runners. We slowed trolled the bluerunners back to the inlet. Dave hooked up first with a nice King. It was a close call, both lines were tangled and were sitting out back of the boat. I was untangling the lines and seen the King coming up on the bait. A quick decision to cut the other rig ended up paying off. It was a great fight for Dave, he almost got pulled in twice. There were a lot of greenies that came up as it started to calm. We continued fishing and caught a few Bonita, Spanish Mackerel, and Blues. It was a good day filled with action. Thanks Dave , Bryan and Alyce it was a lot of fun getting to know and fish with the three of you. I Look forward to our next trip!

The winds finally laid down enough to get out in the ocean and look around. The weather was not perfect though. It was overcast and raining on an off. We decided to go for it anyways and launch the boat at the Port.(Port Canaveral, Fl.) With Three dozen shrimp and a box of squid we went in search of ? We started off jigging the cans for triple tail, no luck. As we got out to the end of the buoy line we started noticing bait pods of pogies. There were lot of bait pods in one little area. It was really cloudy and rainy, the visibility was horrible. Small Blacktip Sharks were no problem, we hooked and caught a few, not on purpose just didn’t see them. Blues and Spanish Mackerals were in abundance as well.

We did get lucky one time. I was up on my perch and spotted a Cobia swimming through the bait. Spotted it out to John and before I had a chance to cast he was hooked up. It was 36 inches and a good fish. That was it though we never seen another Cobia and we were fishing bait pods all day. I think if there was some sun, the fish would of been coming up and we would of killed it.. Good day though, nice to get out with friends.

The weather is warm and sunny, but the winds are still blowing hard out of the East. I picked Cornelius, Patricia, and Mike up at Capt. Hiram’s.  With the winds as bad as they were there were not a whole lot of options. We fished some of the flats back behind the Inlet. Been spotting some schools of mullet moving around the flats. Mike caught the first two fish, that were Trout. The three of them were catching Blues, Jacks, and ladyfish every few casts. Patricia caught a decent Spanish Mackerel. A lot of action and a beautiful day on the water even with the strong winds. Nice to see the river coming back to life. Thanks again Cornelius, Patricia, Mike for fishing with me. I wish you two happiness with your new home here. Congratulations! See for Snook Season!!!

The weather is starting to warm.  We met up the Inlet Marina at 8 a.m. The tide was incoming til 11 a.m. We stayed inside and fished the flats first thing. We came across this floating Cajun Thunder, it was moving around, going under for minutes at a time. I pulled Dan up close and had him make a cast ahead of the moving cork. He missed the first two shots then on the third it was perfect,  he snagged the rig and just below the bobber. It was a good fight on the other end, as it got closer we noticed it was a 5lb Trout. Dan played it out for a while and the Trout got off and we got a free Cajun Thunder, yee haw!!! We moved to the Inlet and fished the incoming tide around Monster Hole and caught tons of Bluefish and small Jacks. It was a good and action packed trip. We had alot of fun. I hope to fish with these two again in the future. Thanks Dan and Freddy it was great fishing with the both of you.
