Port Canaveral - Saltwater Fishing Report
Have you noticed the cherry blossom trees blooming? I'll give you a few hints, buck tails, March? Yup, you guessed it, Cobia! We have already seen some stud fish around and it's only going to get better. Normally, the Cobias show up around mid February but better numbers are in March. We are looking forward to using our new boats with the 25 foot towers! One key to Cobia fishing is getting as high as you can to look for them or the rays that may be holding the fish. I have no idea why these fish always swim with other large creatures; whales, turtles, sharks, rays, skates etc. Speaking of whales, STAY AWAY from them. Some are protected and some are not. If you're in doubt, drive away from them! Major fines are not what you want to catch.
Another must have is sunglasses and good polarized ones at that. We on Fired up Fishing Charters wear RCI Optics. They are a local company with impeccable service. Sun is an obvious must. If you're going to go look for a fish swimming around, you have to be able to see them. Buck tails are another great tool of the trade. You can tip the hooks with squid or plastic curly grubs. Chartreuse colors seem to work well but if they are hungry they will eat a tin can as they are not the smartest fish around.
Hope everyone gets out there and gets a few for the grill!
