April Fishing in the Florida Springtime

Good anglers know that April is the month to seize the moment with inshore and offshore fishing. Captain Richard Bradley's cooler looks like this more often than not in the early spring as the water warms.

"I've found that the month of April is primetime in Florida for fishing. If the winds are strong I can move inshore and find big gator sized sea trout and bull redfish and if the weather and conditions are favorable, there's no beating the offshore and nearshore fishing out of Port Canaveral," explains Captain Richard Bradley. "I spend everyday available out on the water with my anglers in April and if you're planning on a trip to East Central Florida and the Orlando area anytime, I'd suggest you give us a call as soon as possible and set a trip so you can see just how spectacular our fishing can be in the spring."

The month of April is one of the best times of year to go fishing in Florida.

Canaveral fishing can be absolutley incredible for many saltwater species. The adjacent cooler full of cobia, tripletail and dolphin attest to how bountiful one afternoon in April 2002 was.

Flats fishing really heats up as the water warms up in April and the fish get hungry as the baitfish make their comeback. However you may miss the inshore action directly off the beaches when the cobia and tripletail migrate and start their spawn off the coast. Fortunate anglers will get their limit in cobia and catch a few tripletail for the frying pan. Cobia are monsters and can exceed 100 pounds but average in the mid 30's. They put up strong sustained fights on light tackle and don't stop after you boat them. The amazing thing about cobia & tripletail is that you sightfish for them. Seeing and casting to large fish can be one of the most exciting activities an angler can do. If you cast accuratley and bring the bait or lure within site, it's almost a for sure bet you will hang one.
