This redfish ate a 3" DOA while tailing

This can be one of the easiest times of year to catch a trophy sized redfish in Mosquito Lagoon and the Indian River. The huge redfish are schooled up for the fall spawn and are about as aggressive as you will ever find them. They will willingly take both surface baits and a variety of [...]

Fall brings cool changes and hot action on both the Space Coast and West Coast

rayReport

Cooler weather over the past few weeks and particularly as fall weather moved into the area has invigorated the fish, making them chase subsurface baits, hit surface lures, and basically expand their strike zones.

In shallow areas, the fish can be found tailing and you can even sight fish them on sunny calm days when they are near the surface. With the discolored water, you can get [...]
