Fishing Reports by Capt. Ron Bielefeld

Central Indian River Lagoon - Sebastian and Indian River Report Lately, trout, redfish, and tarpon have been keeping us busy. Tarpon in the Sebastian have been somewhat cooperative up until the last few days of the full moon. They basically have shut off. As the full moon w more...

Central Indian River Lagoon - Trout and Reds As has been the case for quite a while now, the fishing has been great, but the catching has been erratic. One day it is great, the next only fair. Water temps are holding in the low 70s and that has made for some good action on t more...

Central Indian River Lagoon - Fish On! Sorry, but I only have time for a quick report this week then I am off on another trip. Busy, busy, busy. Not much to say except the trout are hitting along with some reds, snook, jacks, and ladyfish. Tarpon are in the Sebastian and co more...

Central Indian River Lagoon - Here fishy fishy fishy! This week on the Indian and Sebastian River was a mixed bag . Mother nature teased us for just 2 days with air temps in the 80s and water temps climbing to near 70. The trout turned on for one afternoon on the Indian Rive more...
