Central Florida has over 400sq miles of some of the most exciting shallow water fishing you could ever dream of and is considered the best place in the world to sight fish redfish. Because of the large numbers of redfish that make their home on our flats this area has been the target of numerous fishing shows and magazine articles. So, stop dreaming about fishing the flats and watching us do it on TV and let's go catch some memories of your own. Reds are not the only fish this area has to offer. We also have fantastic numbers of speckled sea trout, snook and tarpon that make their home in our waters. During several times of the year it is possible to catch all four species in a day. So what make me different from all the other inshore guides that advertise in Cocoa Beach.
If you have never been sight fishing the flats before, don't worry. I cater to all experience levels, from beginner to expert. If you are worried about your casting skills don't be concerned. I am happy to take time to teach you a trick or two to improve your cast. As a guide my job is to help you catch fish. I will do everything I can to help you do just that without the stress and screaming you my have encountered with other guides. My philosophy is that fishing should be fun and relaxing. So lets get out and have a good time and put some fish in the boat. To see what we are catching now go to my Cocoa Beach fishing report.
Most of the redfish we have caught on my charters over the past 15 years Fishing Cocoa Beach have averaged 30 pounds with a few up to 50 pounds. If you think I'm pulling your leg, (They say a picture is worth a thousand words, well here's a few million words. Click Here and see for yourself). When the conditions are right, you can spot these reds feeding on the flats 200 yards away. With the fish in your site, you sneak up on them, cast you line, and hold on. These fish are a absolute blast to catch on light tackle. After fighting a big red, you can count on going home with a sore arm. I tell most of my clients that we don't catch reds, they catch us. Another fun fish to catch in the Cocoa Beach area is the spotted sea trout. It is common to catch them between 12 to 27 inches with an occasional gator (30+ inches). There are few things more exciting than hooking into a big trout on a top water lure. Over the past few years we have been catching a few of these fish every year pushing world record size. I am a full time U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captain with over 35 years experience fishing the Indian and Banana Rivers from Titusville to Cocoa Beach for redfish, trout, snook and tarpon. I currently fish from a 2005 Famous Craft 1800XL with a 2007, 150 Mercury OptiMax Saltwater. It is one of the most comfortable and driest flats boats on the market. It can also get us to the fish and back to the dock if a storm crops up as fast as you want to go. One of the most common complaints I hear about guides is about the cheep fishing gear they use. When you fish with me expect to be provided with everything I expect when I hire a guide.
