This Week's Fishing Report

With hopes that your Christmas was as blessed as my, God Bless everyone.

As always the case with fishing during the winter on the Space Coast of Florida, catching is either very good or poor, depending on the weather. I my case this past week, we hit it right on several trips, and provided my anglers with the trip of a lifetime. Typically the first day or two after the frontal assault passes and the wind slows down, the fish are warmer and hungry, which was the case this past week.

Currently, the weather outside is nasty and another cold front moves into Central Florida, but in a few days, conditions will improve. So spend some time with family and friends, and plan a trip to the lagoon as soon as the weather lets up.

Also, good reports of American shad have been coming from anglers fishing out of Mullet Lake Park, so we may be in for a good shad run this year.

As always, if you need information or have any questions, please contact me.

Good luck and good fishing,

Captain Tom Van Horn
