  • Indian River Fishing Report - FL

    Coldest weather of the year has driven temperatures down into the thirtiesfor a few nights this week and it's cold! I woke up thinking they movedFlorida and didn't notify me.... Water temperatures will also plummetinto the fifties for several days until the sun can get things back to normalagain. Summer can't get here quick enough for me. It's been thattype of winter on the Treasure Coast, but it hasn't snowed yet.






    Fishing has been good when you can deal with the winds and weatherconditions. We have been fishing in areas where you can get someprotection from the winds and having success in the process. The bestbite has been drum, sheepshead, croakers and even some nice whiting with theoccasional redfish in the mix. Docks have been active when you can fishthose areas. Deeper water will be the best opportunity to catch fishright now. As the sun warms things up you can find fish moving intoshallower water to feed and keep warm. Pompano should love this weatheralong with bluefish, mackerel and a few other species. I love fishingthis time of year...but it can certainly be a challenge!
    Chris, Trey and Justin joined me this week for a windy adventure on thewater. In spite of the winds, the guys caught a lot of fish includingcroakers, drum, sheepshead, snapper and lots of others. Ken and Jeff werefaced with another windy morning, but caught some nice fish including a slotredfish on the last cast of the day. John and Tom had their windychallenge and it was a croaker and whiting morning for the guys. Theyended up with some nice fish in spite of conditions. It's been a funweek, but blustery for us.


    Dress for conditions! It will be cold at night and warm up during theday. Some days will bring a thirty degree swing in temperatures. Have fun and be safe on the water. Winter is almost over and thing willwarm back up for us.

    Remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!
    Thanks and Good Fishing!
