Indian River Lagoon - Saltwater Fishing Report
Capt. Ron Bielefeld's Indian River Lagoon trout, redfish,and snook fishing report-Sebastian Area
The weather in east central Florida has remained warm and relatively calm with water temps still in the mid-70s. As a result, we have continued to catch redfish, trout, and even a few snook, but trout have been by far the most abundant. The larger fish are still shallow and feeding early and late in the day. Look for grass and baitfish along the edges of flats or around spoil islands. We have been catching a few larger trout on top-water, but most of the fish have been coming on Yo-Zuri 3D Fingerlings and Rip Tide Brand Curtailers. White and day glow colors have been the key. Redfish, trout, and snook have been hitting during the middle of the day as well, or whenever there has been a high falling tide. The redfish and snook have been hitting he same lures as the trout, but the snook have been luring along the deeper edges and around docks. The reds have been found in all sorts of habitat and water depths, but only sporadically have we been able to catch them. We have been finding a lot of snapper around the docks, but you will need to put a live shrimp in from of them if you want any consistent action. The snapper have been small, but they are a lot of fun on light tackle and a great change of pace if you are tired of prowling the flats.
If this weather pattern continues the catching should remain consistent around the Sebastian area. If it turns colder and the water temps drop, start fishing the deeper holes, channels, and canals to find trout and a few snook. Personally, I like the weather we have been experiencing and hope we have a nice mild winter. It sure makes for some very fun fishing trips. Until next time, Tight-Lines to all.
Sincerely,
