This Weeks Fishing Report
The weather this past week has been as good as it gets, with cool light breezes and sunny skies prevailing. In reviewing the long range forecast, these condition are predicted to remain through next weekend, so now is time to hit the water and enjoy these fall fishing conditions. On a side note, thus far in October we have received absolutely no rainfall, so our fire index is on the rise, so please be very careful with any outside burning.
On the inshore waters out of Port Canaveral this week, the mullet migration is still in full swing, with a number of varied species working schools of finger mullet streaming south along the beach. Many anglers are catching a mixed bag of jacks, bluefish, ladyfish and Spanish mackerel, with an occasional snook and redfish thrown in. Anglers are also doing very well on southern flounder within the surf and around the sandy drop offs within the Port.
In the lagoons, the schooling breeder redfish are still there, but the tightly packed of oversized fish are starting to spread out, but there are still a good number of slot size redfish pressuring mullet pods on the shallow flats and some really nice sea trout eager to take top water plugs fished around nervous pods of bait. Lastly, remember sea trout season closes on November 1st on Florida's east coast, so if you enjoy an occasional sea trout for supper, you have just a few weeks left to take one home for dinner.
