DaveVero Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 That limit was for one trip. Cast net shrimp and then keep them alive in well and go out and catch trips. Trips seem to be concentrated just north of the inlet. Good redfish bite on shrimp. Pompano on the beach in Melbourne when the water clears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVero Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Water is just way too cold for snook to bite . Last reading was 57 degrees. Black drum are the only fish biting right now in any quantity. Beach fishing has also been poor with a few Whiting being caught. Pampano have not been around in any quantity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveVero Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Black drum bite is hot. Limits are being caught using fleas and shrimp. Snook bite is average as the water is warming up. Reds are mixed in with the blacks but most are oversized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVero Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Can you make out what type of fish this pod is? All over 50LBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh141 Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Drum?.....That is incredible!! Don't see that everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVero Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Yes- Black Drum going down the beach. They look like Reds because of the light color. Goal is to catch one on a Fly Rod. That will be some fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVero Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Fished the last 10 days and had some goood days and bad days. Water was warm and clean on most of the days. Took the MA out to fly fish for Snook but only caught one and hook another. Whet Trips fishing in the IRL but was late to all the best spots which already got hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveVero Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Crab pots are holding Trips in the IRL. Most of the time you have to jump from pot to pot with live shrimp. If u are out early meaning first light you will get them . Incoming tide is best with clean water. Seen some up to 18lbs caught. Fish the pots that are in 7 ft of water and greater. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVero Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Have not fished much this week but the snook bite is hot on Pichards. Seems to be the only thing the snook want right now. Pompano are moving down the beach in large schools. Yesterday one buddy caught 75 in one half day of fishing using jigs. Water is clear so fishing should be great this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveVero Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Pichards and Treadfins are still in the river. We find them using then throw a 14 Ft net because they are really fast. Just have to circle until you find the school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shallowminded6 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Was a late start to the day. Didnt get out til after 9. Tough finiding bait, no depth finder so couldnt find the greenies. But found some large moharas and some ok size pin fish. Caught a couple fish but nothing to brag about. Check out the snook tail tho, what is this from or have you seen it before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVero Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Seen snook have tails like your fish but not often. Seems to be from and injury or mutation. Saw snook with just one tail fin so not uncommon. Bait has moved back into the inlet and fish along with the bait. Snook and Reds right now there is a hot bite using theadfins . Pompano should be here on the beach in the next few days as they are moving up from Jupiter. Fleas are prevalent on the beaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try and get out this week if spring break allows it. If not next week for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVero Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Snook are on the beach getting ready to move into the inlets to spawn. Snapper have shown up around docks and structure. Redfish on the outgoing tide hitting pass crabs flowing out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shallowminded6 Posted June 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Went out yesterday AM. Hard outgoing tide and excellent water clarity. Found bait everywhere and it looked super fishy. Got a few trash fish off of topwater right out the gate and a small snook and then nothing the rest of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVero Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Fished the past two weeks and here is the report! The IRL was slow with a few snook being caught. The inlet had reds eating pass crabs on the outgoing tide. Tried to catch one on a fly but no luck. Saw one boat hook up on a fly. Snook were all around the jetty. Females were in the 34"-40" inch range we were using mojarra. Grouper were bad taking any fish that would not be netted. They have to put out a harvest on these fish as the population is way out of control. Took the boat out and caught Albies on the fly south of the inlet towards Wabaso. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVero Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Fished from Sebastain to Vero for the last 10 days. Here’s is the report. Snook all over the beach when the glass minnows move in. Tarpon are also crashing the bait on the surf. Have to check which beach has the bait and fish early morning because the afternoon wind makes it tough. Prime time to beach fly fish. Snook all around the inlet last week with the largest being 43 inches. Live bait is key right now. Not much in the Indian River that we found. River is stained from all the rain. Tons of Mangrove snapper with most being in the 12-15Inch range. Anyone using live greenies will be able to catch fish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveVero Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Fished from Sept 10-24 only from the beach and jetty. Mullet run was in full migration with fingers and silvers coming south. Snook were showering on the schools. Sharks and Tarpon were mixed in. Lost some nice plugs on the sharks. Reds were following at times but were only on the outgoing tides. Took some video when the water was clear enough to snorkel. Should be posted pretty soon. Joey finally found the Van Staal that I dropped in the water after someone snagged my line. Took 5 months to find it. Took it apart and pretty well shot. Not worth sending in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
