Indian River Lagoon - Saltwater Fishing Report
Capt. Ron Bielefeld's Indian River Lagoon trout, redfish, and snook fishing report-Sebastian Area
The fishing has remained consistent over the past week or so for trout and snook, but redfish have been tough to come by. Top-water action has been good early on the very shallow flats. The key has been finding areas with a lot of bait activity and that has not been a problem. After the sun is up we have been switching to the old stand-bys, the Yo-Zuri 3D Fingerlings and Jerk-Os and the Rip-Tide soft plastics. We have been targeting drop-offs around the edges of flats and spoil islands and picking up a ton of small trout and snook with some larger fish mixed in. The action has been steady up until about 11 am when everything has been shutting down for the most part. With the afternoon and evening thunderstorms abating a bit recently, we finally have been able to get out on the water in the evenings to do some serious fishing and the action has been good. We have had more success in the evenings for larger fish than in the mornings. Last evening for example we had 4 trout from 4 to 8 pounds and lost a fish that was just huge. Who knows what it weighted, but those of you who read my reports regularly know I do not exaggerate, and I am telling you, it was one of the larger trout I have ever seen! We also had a bunch of smaller fish and 2 nice snook all in about a 2 hour period and all on top-water. You can’t ask for much more than that. This pattern should continue for the foreseeable future and I for one will be out there catching and releasing my fair share. Until next time, Tight-Lines to all.
Sincerely,
Capt. Ron Bielefeld
