Sebastian Inlet to Eau Gallie Cswy. – September 2024
September is one of my favorite months to fish both inshore and nearshore from Melbourne to Sebastian. There has been more bait around in the lagoon this summer than we have had in several years and that should provide for a good mullet run as the last several years has been a bit on the slow side. Along with the mullet, the snook, trout and redfish should be plentiful. Snook season opens up September 1st and anglers will be out in droves trying to get their keeper fish. Sebastian Inlet will be packed day and night with people on the jetty and in boats, and the crowds don’t always bring the patience that’s required when fishing, so keep a cool head in the heat of the day and night and you will get your limit. Live bait during the day is best and live bait, jigs and lures all work well at night.
Port Canaveral & Banana River – September 2024
It’s time to keep a snook! After three months of catch and release only action along the east coast, snook season has finally opened up so we can invite one home to join us for dinner! There are some strict requirements for snook on the Space Coast though. You must measure the fish with a pinched tail; when measured in this fashion the snook must measure between 28 and 32-inches in overall length.

Pumpkin spice and other fall flavors are back in town: Who's serving them up in Brevard?
A seasonal trend took hold of taste buds decades ago — and hasn’t let up since. It’s pumpkin spice, and when the slightest glimmers of fall start to drop along with the temps, it's go-time again for local purveyors of all that’s pumpkin. While Starbucks is often credited with kickstarting the pumpkin spice phenomenon in 2003 with their pumpkin spice latte (which returned to stores for its 2024 run on Aug. 22), here are some ideas that...
Space Coast Surf Fishing Forecast – September 2024
One of best times of year to catch snook in the surf! September and October hold the combination title with the peak of the mullet run along the Space Coast. Throughout the Central East Coast region mullet and other baitfish will be pouring down the beaches. With that being said, the predatory fish including snook and tarpon will be acrobatically attacking this once a year phenomenon.
