Local
Lines FSFA Report
Fishing on the Lagoons has been solid with many of our year-round
resident fish finally getting into their winter pattern. Most of the small mullet have left the flats
for deep canals, and only return to the shallows for the late morning
warmup. The Predators are doing the
same! I look for the large Black Mullet
to signify the movement of fish from deeper overnight waters. The trout and redfish will accompany these
big mullet on and off the flats. If I
don’t see big mullet I don’t fish! As
with every year the Black Drum has invaded our winter flats. These fish will tail just like their cousin
the redfish. Though you can take the
smaller and bigger versions on soft plastics like Slayer SST paddle tails, DOA
Shrimp, and Gulp shrimp, but for your best chance a fresh dead shrimp or half
blue crab is the ticket. Sight fishing
is the way to get our shots in water from 1-3ft. deep.
Hot Colors (Artificial) This Week: Black and Gold, Molting,
white, new penny..
Sometimes it’s just fun to hook a fish! Leaving the stress of challenging species for
some fun is not only good for you, but a great way to involve novice anglers
and kids. The cooler months of the Space
Coast can get the shrimp flowing. The
seatrout know and exploit this every year.
Now most of these aren’t going to be your big giant “Gator” trout; those
will be hot-to-trot soon enough. These
little scrappy trout will be 12-20inches and all the fun you can handle on
light tackle. 6wt or less fly gear is
also a blast with them. All the
causeways will have these trout at night and plenty of them have good access. The 2½ inch Savage Gear Mantic Shrimp is a
must use on spinning gear in the 6lb. line class. This durable little shrimp can stand up to a
bunch of fish and keep working well. The
smaller lures the better if you’re looking for fast non-stop action. Fly’s the mimic small baitfish/minnows and
small shrimp can be deadly effective. Go have fun and enjoy some catching; not
fishing!
