Offshore Fishing Reports Archives
Offshore - Nov 25, 2006
Weather forecasters predict seas to 8 feet today and Monday, which will keep
most anglers inshore.
Offshore - Nov 21
Howling winds and 9 foot seas will keep most anglers inshore for the next few
days.
Offshore - Nov 15, 2006
Anglers are having to contend with wind and rough seas with most opting to stay
onshore until weather conditions calm. Before this recent blow, more anglers
were targeting wahoo than previous weeks, some with success, others with little.
Wahoo may not be more plentiful than before, however, with anglers speeding
up their trolled baits, they are attracting more of these guys. Dolphin and sailfish
have been fairly consistent during calmer conditions, especially east of
Sebastian and Fort Pierce inlets.
Offshore Port Canaveral, anglers have been finding some cooperative cobia
and tripletail around flotsam, especially around the Pelican Flats. Tripletail may
also be present around the buoy line. Bottom fishing has been hit or miss, with
some anglers finding decent numbers of red and mangrove snapper and
grouper starting in about 140 feet of water offshore the three inlets. Reports
indicate a lot of sharks along bottom structure.
Offshore Port Canaveral - Nov 2, 2006
Though the northeast winds will most likely blow out the ocean for the next few
days, anglers have been doing well offshore. Dolphin to 15 pounds are
consistent about 20 miles out around any sort of flotsam or structure. Trolling or
drifting live baits, such as mullet, or rigged natural baits has been the best
method for targeting these fish.
Bottom catches from about 160 to 200 feet of water has been good for
amberjack, gag grouper and red snapper. Live baits are best, however fresh cut
baits and frozen Spanish sardines are accounting for fish. Mangrove snapper
are usually only hitting live baits such as pinfish. Red snapper are hitting fresh cut
baits best.
Offshore Port Canaveral and Ponce Inlet - Oct 26, 2006
Bottom catches of mangrove snapper and grouper have been decent along offshore
structure starting in about 120 feet. Anglers are sometimes having to go out furhter, to
160 and 180 foot depths, but are generally finding cooperative fish. A few big red
snapper, up to 19 pounds, are also being picked up.
Sailfish are becoming more active offshore along edges of clean water. Some anglers
are hooking them while targeting dolphin with trolled ballyhoo and similar baits.
Offshore - Sep 26, 2006
Anglers venturing out of Port Canaveral and Sebastian Inlet report slow activity
for trolling and bottom fishing. A few kingfish are scattered over the 8A reef and
Pelican Flats, east of Canaveral. Bottom conditions offshore Sebastian and
Canaveral are fairly dirty due to the recent swells from passing hurricanes.
Offshore Fort Pierce Inlet, anglers are doing better with bottom catches, where
mangrove and yellowtail snapper catches have been decent. Most anglers are
targeting bottom fish along the offshore bar and further east. Dolphin catches
recently were good east of the Gulf Stream.
Offshore - Sep 13, 2006
With the recent passing of Tropical Storm Ernesto and Hurricane Florence, seas
continue to be pretty big with NOAA reporting 7 to 9 footers today. Anglers will likely
have to wait and see what Gordon (the latest tropical system) does before planning
their next trip offshore.
