Well folks, it’s clear that spring has arrived in central Florida, and it wont be long before we’re dealing with our typical summertime weather pattern. Like the spring’s arrival and departure, it appears that the cobia have arrived and moved on. The cobia have been difficult to locate this past week, with most being taken in deeper waters north of the Cape. This doesn’t mean a second wake of Cobs wont swing through, but it appears the first wave has moved north. Captain John Kumiski reported taking a cobia in excess of 28 pounds today. If you out looking for cobia this weekend, cover as much ground as possible, and look for fish hanging on turtles, rays and other structure.
The good reports of cobia have been coming from the Ponce Inlet and Daytona area this week. There have also been some reports of small kingfish showing up on 8A reef, and a good number of hefty jack crevalle, tripletail, and bluefish working the buoy line at Port Canaveral. This past week a tripletail in excess of 28 pounds was taken.
The water temperatures on the inshore flats have warmed up above 70 degrees, improving top water action for trout and reds. Fish with top water plugs in water between two too three feet until the sun moves high and warms up the day.
On a side note, I am currently seeking anglers to fish the Mercury Redbone @ Large, Mosquito Lagoon Celebrity Fishing Tournament. This is a charity event used to raise funds to support research to cure cystic fibrosis. The tax-deductible fee of 2,000 dollars includes two days of fishing for two anglers on a guided boat with everything included. It also includes an evening of dinner and cocktails at Kelsey’s Riverview restaurant and a dockside celebrity seafood dinner at JB’s Fish Camp. The event will be held on May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, in New Smyrna Beach, and the deadline for registration is March 31st. It’s great fun, and it’s in support of a great cause. As an added bonus, I will throw in a full day of prefishing before the event to the anglers fishing my boat.
As always, if you have questions on need information, please contact me.
Good luck and good fishing,
Captain Tom Van Horn
