Titusville - Saltwater Fishing Report
Another E.C. FL Fishing Report
Thank you for reading my E.C. FL Fishing Report.
Monday- NOAA predicted 1-2 foot seas with an 11 second period. A bathtub! Reality proved the NOAA prediction incorrect, although the Mitzi was up to it. Launched at the port at 7 am. Right outside the port birds were everywhere, screaming and dipping. I did not see any fish, so I headed to the cape.
There were some small fish breaking there. I tossed a Krebs popper a few times and came up with a Florida-sized bluefish.
The wind was southwest so I stayed close to the beach. The water was dirty. There were big balls of glass minnows, and the only things bothering them were sharks and birds. Weird.
Casting a tan Clouser minnow around one of the balls, I got a small jack and then a nice pompano. Surprise!
Did not see any tunny or mackerel.
On the way back there was a school of menhaden in the bight. No fish that I could see. That was it for the day. The boat was on the trailer at noon. The skies opened up shortly after that.
Tuesday- non-fishing day to say the least. Had an early MRI, love those.
Afterwards I brought the chariot in for service. Sue and I have been talking about getting a minivan, the idea being we would turn it into a camper, then drive to San Francisco to visit Maxx and Catalina. My thought was I would see what they (AutoNation Toyota, Winter Park) had on the lot while I waited for my car to be serviced. Just checking out the scene.
They had a 2014 Sienna with 67,000 miles on it.
My car needed $1700 worth of work, but was worth $3000 as a trade-in.
I, to my own great surprise, drove the Sienna home. This is close to what we want to do with it- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO2-2EKtJLc
Thursday I took the back seats out of the van, then had U-Haul install a trailer hitch and wiring.
Friday- went kayak fly fishing on the grossly dirty Mosquito Lagoon. Ran into Ed Wisecki at the boat ramp- Hi, Ed!
Found a rare trio of redfish, tails barely breaking the surface as they cruised. Doubt I could have seen them otherwise. Dropped a black Clouser Minnow in front of them- Score! Did not see much else. It was hot but otherwise quite lovely, at least until the skies opened.
There are many good fishermen and some great ones, but there is only one you. - Ernest Hemingway
Life is great and I love my apparent retirement!
Every day is a blessing. Don't waste it- Go Fishing!
