Where There's Food... There's Fish

Anglers often ask me how to find fish and what do I look for to locate fish and my answer more than often is "find food, find fish".  All animals (including fish) need food and the fall mullet run on Florida's east coast provides plenty of food for the predator fish like snook, redfish, sharks and jack crevelle.  Just look for the food, in this case the fingerling mullet are migrating down the coastline on their annual trek and the big game fish are shadowing the schools baitfish and you'll often see them crashing in the surfline off Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral.

Hurry up and call us before the mullet run subsides in the next few weeks. Our regulars just need to call Capt. Gina or new customers can go to our Cocoa Beach Fishing Guide website at Lagooner.com and contact us there.

It's Cold, But The Fishing is Great!

Oh Come On! It's Florida! How cold can it really be?  It's never too cold to go fishing, right?  Cocoa Beach and the Orlando area are fired up due to the fall mullet run along the coastline of Florida.  Come on down and join the fun as the weather is typically in the mid 70's and perfect.

Don't take my word for it. Look at some of the angler's success stories on the our Cocoa Beach or Orlando pages.

Big Reds near Cocoa Beach during the Fall

This fall we've seen many windy days in Cocoa Beach and it's been challenging for the most part, but when the conditions have been favorable my anglers have found those big "Bull Redfish" that our area is famous for.  Lately the water has been the color of chocolate milk and choppy as the 15 plus knot winds have made the Lagoon a cotton field of whitecaps. But the redfish are there and if you know where to put your baits and work, you have a good possiblity to come away with a trophy sized redfish in the Cocoa Beach area.

Don't let the weather discourage you as Florida's best weather usually comes around the corner and into the mid winter month's of January and February.  According to many of us we feel that the spawn for inshore redfish occurs in the fall and that means that the big females are around and in tight schools.  Don't get me wrong, we have schooling inshore redfish all year long, but traditionally the fall can produce the biggest if the conditions allow you to pursue them.

For many of you that have come to Cocoa Beach to fish with us you need to simply call Captain Gina to settup a fishing trip for big redfish and for those who haven't just go to the Lagooner Web Site and fill out a form on the site and she'll be prompt to call you back.
